This is a preliminary review

So far I like the watch from a fitness perspective. However, the golf functionality needs a lot of work. Based on my experience the autoshot detection misses about one third of the shots. At this time I’m working with Garmin engineers to see how to resolve the issue.

I bought this Fenix 9 pro solar a few months ago. I am disappointed in the sharpness and lack of vivid display watch face.

Fantastic Watch for Hiking

This is an upgrade from a Fenix 7 Solar I had been wearing for a number of years. The battery life sold me on the Fenix 7 and the 9 is even better. My son is now using the 7 for hiking too. If you are in the fence about getting one of these, go for it. You won’t regret it.

Bought the 47 mm 9 pro solar. My favorite garmin so far (I’ve had every fenix since the fenix 2). Lightweight case. Crisp MIP screen (I love that they kept the MIP). The look, size, and ruggedness are perfect in my opinion.

Not recommended for strength training
on September 17, 2026
Posted by: JoshuaG
Amazing watch and a great training tool. However it's lacking for strength training. Garmin gives you a large library of exercises and lets you build custom strength workouts. The problem is that during a workout, the watch shows the description for the NEXT exercise rather than the one you're currently doing! You can create custom data screens, but the current exercise isn't available as a data field, so there's no way to fix this yourself.
That makes much of the programmed strength workout functionality less useful than it should be. There are feature requests going back to the Fenix 6(!) asking Garmin to address this, and it still hasn't been fixed.
The other option is Open Strength, which works for basic data capture, but the automatic exercise detection isn't remotely accurate. You can finish a 50-minute workout and end up with a jumble of semi-random exercises the watch thought you performed.
Garmin really needs to fix Strength workouts so the watch displays the CURRENT exercise instead of NEXT. It's a small change that would make the strength training functionality dramatically more useful.
