Best digital equipment I have ever used
on September 14, 2023
Posted by: George K
I would t consider myself great at anything outdoors or fitness related. I am good at a lot of things. This watch fills in a ton of gaps.
I bought it because a YouTube reviewer said it changed his life. If you use it right it could definitely change your.
The general fitness function are available on many other products but on this device they are next level. The sleep tracker and training scores are my favorite in that regard. The hiking and backpacking features are also next level. The battery life is tremendous.
I can't imagine ever outpacing this device based on the level of available information.

It is definitely overkill for the average user, but it can transform you into above average if you buy in.
Thank you, Garmin!

The battery life and all the features work awesome. GPS is very accurate when I used it to play golf. This is an impressive watch and a must have.

Gekauft 2024 als Nachfolger der Fenix 6 pro - Ausschlaggebend waren die Laufzeit und der Herz-Sensor - beides hat sich positiv bestätigt - leider wurde noch kein Upgrade für die Meditation App geöffnet - obwohl der.Technik folgend bestimmt möglich

One year review.

Love every aspect of this watch except for the battery life.
Going from a Fenix 5 to this has been a major upgrade albeit the battery life, small hassle. Stays charged with everything monitoring/operating in the background for about 15-20 days as opposed to the 25-30 I was getting from the Fenix 5. Much better equipped watch as compared to its predecessors. The flashlight has been the most used feature as well. Would recommend over and over again.

3.5 Stars-A Nice Watch
on July 4, 2025

I recently upgraded to this watch from my Instinct 2 Solar, which I really enjoyed. The sale price made it a good value, and I appreciated that the menu system is very similar to the Instinct, making the transition easy. I’ve also used a Forerunner in the past, and the consistency across Garmin’s interface is a definite plus.
However, I do have two main drawbacks with this watch:
1. Display quality:
The color and resolution are significantly lower than the AMOLED version. This is due to the solar screen, but I’m not convinced that the solar feature justifies the tradeoff. Garmin’s non-solar watches already offer excellent battery life, as do their Edge cycle computers. If I had the choice again, I’d opt for the AMOLED version.

2. Software support:
It seems Garmin has moved on from the Fenix 7X series when it comes to major updates. Even my older and less significant Instinct 2 still receives them. This appears to be more of a marketing strategy than a technical limitation, which is disappointing for a premium device.

Other notes:
The watch is heavy. I wear it overnight for sleep tracking, and while I’ve adjusted to the weight, it was uncomfortable at first. My Instinct never had this issue due to being much lighter.

As an avid cyclist, I love that this watch works great as a fully functional cycle computer. It connects with all the same sensors as my Garmin Edge, and I use it as a reliable backup. I wear it on my wrist even though a handlebar mount is available. It’s fine for road and gravel riding, but on rough terrain (like mountain biking), the weight and bulk cause it to bounce and irritate my skin, something that didn’t happen with the lighter Instinct.
Final thoughts:
This is a great watch in many ways, but I would recommend going with the AMOLED version instead of the solar. Garmin already excels at battery life, so the solar feature feels unnecessary. Also, I wouldn't recommend this model for rough activities due to the weight and comfort issues.

Long Battery Life
on July 26, 2025
Posted by: LeftyL
I bought as a backup for data saving when riding and it does that. There are various other things available with the Fenix 7X Pro but I’m old and not computer savvy to figure a lot of it out easily. Just wish it was easier to figure out. But I’m happy with it. The battery life was the selling point for me.

It never leaves my wrist

This watch has been a huge upgrade that can stand up to just about anything.
Big shock here... the flashlight was the best feature they included in this watch.
Overall, this has the best connection of any Garmin I have had. On past watches it stops connecting to my phone or wifi. This one always connects.
