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

Moved from an Apple Watch to the Fenix 7x Sapphire Solar and would not think twice about going back. Everything about this watch is amazing. Also, seller was fabulous with quick shipping.

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

This watch is sleek, durable, and it does everything you could possibly want a watch to do. Its ultra customizable. The battery life is out of this world. At the time of writing this, I havent charged my watch for about 2 weeks and Im still at 40% battery left. I was really worried about how compatible it would be with an Iphone. I had an apple watch before, but this watch does nearly everything that my apple watch did as well as a tremendous amount more. I would recommend this watch to anyone, especially the solar version.

Good amount of features. No YouTube music access which is a bummer. Fits well on my 7in wrist

Ive owned numerous Garmin products including watches. This is overall an excellent watch with many terrific features. However, the Mineral Blue Titanium scratches very easily. I took it on a sailing trip with minimal contact and within a week there were scratches at numerous places on the bezel. Garmin support said knicks and wear will happen but damage like this didnt occur so easily with the many other Garmin products Ive used over two decades.

Im a Fenix 5S+ user for more than 3 years. I briefly owned Fenix 6s and returned it because it doesnt support Asian languages. I ordered Fenix 7s sapphire solar next day its announced. Let me elaborate the differences among these generations. Part1. Fenix 7 vs Fenix 5 1. 7 has much longer battery life. Almost three weeks vs 5s one week. This is huge, but I think its mostly from better power management rather than solar charging. I wear it 7/24 and never take it off. I swim three days a week, one hour each time. I time my swim by the watch. For the 5, it often brushes off 10% of the battery by doing so. Now the 7 takes only 4% off the charge 2. 7 is 5.5 grams lighter than 5. See the pictures. This is huge. I can clearly feel the difference on the wrist. Dimensions are almost identical though. 3. 7 now reads respiration rate (breath per minute) and blood oxygen saturation (only manual check) other than heart rate 4. 7 includes all languages. As a contrast, you have to buy 5 or 6 in the country with your desired language. For example, a watch you buy in USA cant read anything written in Chinese. That was absurd. Im glad Garmin realized its 21st century now. 5. 7 comes with touch screen. Although I disable it most of the time. Only chance I feel like needing it is when I view maps. Touch screen does help to zoom in and out and move around. Viewing map on 5 is quite painful if not completely useless. Part2. Fenix 7 vs Fenix 6 To be honest, theres not much of difference between two generations other than 1. 7 has touch screen and 6 doesnt 2. 7 supports most languages and 6 doesnt 3. 7 has a bit more solar charging area than 6 So, if you dont need other language support and dont use map often, go ahead and grab a Fenix 6 instead. It would save you several hundred dollars, even more when its on sale. Part3. A couple of things I expected on 7 but didnt get it 1. wireless charging. Theres no reason to have plug-in charging nowadays. Data transfer isnt the reason. 2. Theres a rumor that band charging is coming with 7. Thatd be a giant step, but it isnt easy. 3. I wish screen contrast would be improved, at least as good as 5. I can feel the white isnt that white and all other colors are faint too except black. As a conclusion, its worth upgrading from Fenix 5, but not so much from 6. Did I mention I returned my first 7? It kept shutting down all sensors. Its usually triggered by starting swim activity. All the sudden, none of sensors would work until you restart the watch. It occurred 3 times out of three weeks. The replacement hasnt had that issue since a month ago.

I purchased this as an upgrade from a Fenix 6X Pro. While the upgrades are incremental, they are nice to have. The bully in flashlight is wonderful and the battery life is ridiculous. I am an avid runner and cyclist, along with some strength training and other miscellaneous supporting activity and this device is priceless in tracking these activities and my overall fitness level/ fatigue/ training status.

This is a great watch, but Im docking it 2 stars because of the battery life. My older fenix 5 plain jane model $500 could make it just about 4 weeks. This super powered one $900 only makes it 1 1/2 weeks. I dont know if cause Im not outside or what. I came really close to returning the sapphire solar cause of that. It does have some cool tech on it.

After a lot of research I decided to buy this. When I got it I was extremely disappointed in the screen color and the screen is pixelated. The watch faces looks terrible along with everything else displayed. I sent back and got a epix gen 2. WOW what a difference colors and detail are amazing along with the watch and everything it can do. Trust me you won’t be happy with sapphire dolor

What can i say. Garmin make great products for the most part. Get the upgraded display.
