Health metrics and functionality

I switched from a different smart watch specifically to get better health metrics and longer battery life; I wish I had done this sooner! This watch has everything I wanted and more, if I can't figure out how to do something I just look on the Garmin website and it's easy to find the answer. One additional feature I never knew I needed is the flashlight, highly recommend.
I originally bought this for my wife, but she thinks it’s too big for her, even though it’s the small. I am still figuring out a lot of the features. I was especially interested in the ski power function for cross country ski training. While the power readings may be usable when averaged over several seconds, they are too unreliable for instantaneous readings. Case in point: Some of the power readings during an easy warm-down after an intense interval session were considerably higher than during the high-effort intervals themselves. I think it is better to rely on the heart rate or even the respiratory rate to gauge your effort if needed.

I've had a couple of Garmins in the past and am in love with this watch! The old 920 XT and 910 were great for multisport but the solar charging and the screen are what I love most about this. For being an athlete that maximizes my time out on a course, having solar was important. I just switched back to Garmin from Apple and was nervous about the size difference, but the 42mm felt great and I got used to it in no time. I just wish there were more bright and fun watch band colors available.

Thank you for your review and experience with the fenix 7S Pro Solar. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
My husband bought me this a couple weeks ago. So far I like everything on the watch. I dislike having to download all these different apps because I hate apps on my phone.
