It’s faster than my Fenix 6 but…
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: Lglanuza
I bought it a few weeks ago as an upgrade of my Fenix 6 Pro. The one thing that stood out is the button reaction time is much faster. However there are two issues here: 1) the touchscreen feature reacts to water or sometimes to the touch of certain fabrics, not good. 2) the battery died when it said it had 1d to go. It happened during training and with no warning. Early days, I’m hoping we adapt to each other.

Ok battery

Got for Christmas and they say the battery lasts up to 19/20 days. I only used it for a few runs throughout the week. Other than that it was a normal watch. Only got about 9 days on a full charge…

It does not stay connected to the phone. It will connect then disconnect then reconnect throughout the day.

Got this for Christmas, and I am completely in awe over all the features. The mapping is spot on. The fitness features are more than I could ever ask for. Way to go Garmin!

I got this for a up grade from my instinct, can't say its much better yea lots of features but they drain your battery. GPS docent work very well says I'm in canada when im in montana....just not super impressed with the price tag.

Should be easier
on January 9, 2025
Posted by: MISurveyor
I've had the watch about 3 weeks. The display is not nearly as vibrant as I thought it would be.
Downloading and getting the desired maps has been a pain. The maps also need updating almost daily. Even navigating to the health features is not as easy as I had hoped.
Battery life seems to be great. I don't think I would bother with solar in the future.

Battery Life for actual DAYS (going on 13 now)
on January 10, 2025
Posted by: bonefishjake
As a cyclist (and reluctant runner), I've owned numerous Garmin devices in the past and they have all performed exceptionally well: durable, performed as expected, good life, etc.
When my last one died (it was an Edge) I decided to just use my apple watch while I figured out what I wanted. I've also been dealing with lots of surgeries from a lifetime chaseing of adrenaline so I figured I'd just ride out the Apple Watch unitl I got though the last of my PT nonsense. Well, we all know the story of battery life on those things so using that (with Strava) would just ruin the battery.
Long hopefully shortened, my wife got me the fenix 7 pro - sapphire solar edition for Christmas. I pulled it out of the box, charged it, put it on, and have not taken it off for 13 straight days. Sleep, showers, everything. I've also recorded activities every single day since I've had it so really put it to use - it's not just sitting on my wrist looking all awesome and stuff. This would be absolutely IMPOSSIBLE with the Apple Watch as it would have died 10x over at this point (I have no experice with the Apple Watch Ultra but advertised is 72 hrs). As I type this 13 days later, I'm at 11% - and even after my ride in an hour or so, I'm pretty sure I'll get to tomorrow. Absolutely bonkers.
If I had any gripes at all, it would be with the stock watch faces - they are just kinda meh. I tested five different ones and ultimately settled on a free one called Avak by frinkr. Great customization, easy to read, looks cool. Perfect.
So there ya go. Love it, 5 stars, 10/10, w00d let my wife buy it for me again.
