Garmin fenix 7S Solar, Smaller sized adventure smartwatch, with Solar Charging Capabilities, Rugged outdoor watch with GPS, touchscreen, health and wellness features, slate gray with black band

Battery life is great,the watch is more than I need but you get what ya pay for and so far it’s preformed flawlessly.Well worth it’s price

I am really impressed by this watch. I had Fitbit before, and this is a HUGE upgrade. I got Fenix 7 solar, smaller size. I know it is not a cheap watch, but worth every penny.

This watch is incredible. The soft flexible band is comfortable (I cant wear metal bands anymore as they interfere with typing and mouse). Its big enough (I tried the 7X and its nice but its too heavy for me even though it fits better). I wish this one had the LED light but thats about all I miss from the 7X. The battery lasts over a week and i use it for hiking, cardio, breathwork, and much more. There are so many cool faces you can download and the way the hiking topo maps keep track of your hike is cool. I love the stress numbers, the sleep numbers, and just all the data in general. If you are a data nerd and love data, you will love this watch. There are just so many pros and very few if any cons. The only thing I dont love is the proprietary charging cable and I have to take it off to charge a couple of times a month. The solar is cool but even with a few hours of exposure daily, it wont charge it all the way. It will give you a few percent a day, so even if you were camping or away from power for a week, you still wont need to charge it. There are so many settings that you can make the watch unique. I might consider the Epic over this if you like more colors. Fenix 7 series is 64 colors and the Epic is 64,000 plus the Epic display is the bomb but no Solar is available. If youre an active person or just a golfer (lol) you will love this watch. I cant recommend this enough.

Need some time to learn controls - expected. I prefer regular non sapphire glass (I own sapphire 6 version)- slightly better visibility inside and supposedly more shatterproof. Be realistic about sizing, I would love to have bigger display and bigger battery but unless you like 250/63 forget about X size.

For starters, battery life, omg. There must be an Energizer Bunny inside. Functionality, well mostly the app. Ive improved sleep and stress with the app. Life changing, really. Nice work Garmin.

I purchased this item because of its major feature. Solar charging and how long it holds a charge. The second reason was the fitness element. The third is the golf course stuff. (I’ll come back after golfing to give a review about that.) Some things I noticed in the other reviews which gave me hesitance before I pulled the trigger on the purchase. 1. People liked their Apple Watch more -reasons for this were the brightness of the screen I’ll address that claim first because I feel like it’s the easiest reason to dislike this watch. I showed multiple screens of the watch in my pics. The watch is not bright when you don’t tap the screen. Anyone complaining is find a reason for this as they clearly bought something that holds charge. To hold charge it cannot have a bright screen. It uses mirrors to create it’s light and to conserve power the screen is not bright unless tapped on. I’d actually call this an ADVANTAGE because every time I’d turn my wrist on my Apple Watch that annoyed me that it would drain battery. 2. Other concerns were the weight. - these are weird concerns in the end. People switching from a standard smart watch to this will feel more weight however I like watched. I like real watches. Not just smart. This is significantly lighter than my diver, and about as heavy as my lighter feminine watches. It is REALLY light weight by that standard. Given I have the lightest but I saw weight complaints for that. I own a tissot and it’s lighter than my tissot. I saw a review which worried me with a guy saying they were shocked at its weight and couldn’t get the lightest for their wife. No offense but have more faith! Anyone complaining about weight should get an Apple Watch because they clearly don’t want a tool watch, the Apple Watch is a gadget. This is a tool. It tries to not be distracting and engaging and do what it needs then get out of the way. The Apple Watch is a device you can use to fidget with and will keep you occupied. The Garmin is utilitarian. 3. Complaints about pricing were often paired with the above “problems.” For the price it shouldn’t weigh x. For the price it should be brighter. These people were not aware of what they needed and thought they wanted a product like this because of charge etc. they were wrong. These are not problems if you understand the exact purpose of this watch. If you want a charge you cannot also have a constant light. If you want a lighter watch you cannot have sapphire and all the elements built into this watch which for its processing power is quite light. Also- you clearly don’t wear watches for dress or daily outside of Apple Watches if you believe this is heavy. (The largest size is owned by my cousin, and he said it was heavy but once gotten used to it was fine. This one would be for a larger person, a taller man, or someone who can handle the weight.) Notes: the app was easy to download, there are two. One app is for the watch, the other is an app which allows you to integrate other apps onto it. Basically an app library. Other thoughts: this is not a good watch for an older person who is not capable of understanding new navigations after getting used to the way mac works. If they have to be taught to use it, it will be too hard for them to get some of it. After 10 minutes at 26 years old I managed to navigate it promptly. However there are some features I’ll look at the manual to understand better. Swiping is easy on it and so is the ability to navigate to sports and more. Complains outside of the brave listed were for ease of use. I would say anyone complaining about that needs something more friendly to them. Not user friendly, as it is user friendly, but some are not WILLING to put in any time. If it’s not easy there’s a tech type who just want it done for them. (I have instructed them and unfortunately my dads that type. 73 and just wants me to fix it not help him learn to do it.) If you’re not willing to take 30 minutes to watch a YouTube video or read the manual don’t buy it. The easiest parts are self explanatory but there’s 5 buttons on the watch and they all do different things. The bottom button on the left sets a timer for example which isn’t how Apple Watch works. But it’s freaking easy! Stop complaining! If you want a watch which is standard in weight, long charge, functional, sends notifications, tracks work outs, and does exactly what it says it will do get a Garmin. I have ADHD and my issue is never remembering to charge. If I do charge I leave the watch behind. I now don’t have to REMEMBER. Thank god It has a “find my phone” feature and since I am very ADHD this is amazing. It is so loud. If you’re complaining about tapping the screen or other basics it’s better to get a different watch. This is convenience based and that small tap isn’t inconvenient but if it bothers you other things about this watch surely will. I think it’s an easy way to justify being mad about the price. Another review noted they didn’t like their notifications kept coming through in meetings. That is weird because well…. It has a do not disturb button. You just need to turn it on

So far, it has been a great upgrade from the Fénix 5. Better sleep tracking technology, more accurate GPS, and more data from the sensors. Strongly recommend it. Usually my training is a combination of running, bike and gym, which the watch has proved to be a great addition. Loving it!!

The Fenix 7 is packed with features, and you can really make use of them to get better insight into your fitness & health. The watch is quite large, and that was a kind of an issue for me - but not a deal breaker. However, I just realized after owning this that I just dont really care for the smart watch tech, and Amazon was very gracious to allow me to return it. They also required a passcode for delivery, which I thought was great because of the value of the item.

Love the watch ,huge fan of garmin technology buy it seem like a trend when I buy stuff on Amazon, 30% of the time the product is malfunctioning. This watch in particular after about a week,the functions of the left top button has completely disappeared,cant activate the flash light at all and cant turn on the background light to checkout the time while in the dark. Now Ive just ordered the 7x saphire, hopefully Ill have better luck.

If I was in doubts about replacing my Fenix 5X PLUS for this brand new model, I am completely satisfied. Took some time to receive, I believe that it was do to a DROP BOX business model, but arrives perfectly, sealed, and on correct time informed at the moment of purchase. actually arrived 2 days before informed.
