Why We Like The Garmin Fenix 7S Pro Solar Sport Watch
When to rest, when to push a little harder, and when to turn around: the Garmin Fenix 7S Pro Solar Sport Watch tells us what we need to stay on track toward our goals. Constructed with military-grade materials and the capacity for topo maps, this training tool matches our grit and ambition as it tracks our health metrics and performance stats, while the plethora of activity profiles follows our every pursuit, from road races to pebble wrestling. With just three hours of sun exposure, the screen gives the battery a little extra juice, so we can keep going—up to 43 days in expedition mode—while the built-in LED flashlight helps us find our way if the sun taps out before us.

Comfortable and Useful
I haven't had this watch long, but I love it. I was worried it would be bulky, but it's not. It's really comfortable, and still loaded with features. This was an upgrade from my beloved Vivoactive 3. I'm amazed at the battery life with everything this watch can do. I bought it for the maps feature, which I haven't used yet, but I have checked it to local trails, and it's acurrate. I'm extremely pleased with this watch, and it was worth what I paid for it.

Love this watch
It took me weeks to decide but this Garmin Felix 7S is exactly what I needed same size as my Forerunner and no too big. Everything works well even the sleep and nap seem very accurate. Well done Garmin.

Size matters
I returned this. I think it boils down to how many functions/information do you want immediate access to. The watch dial is too small for looking at anything beyond basic watch features, basic bio information (heart rate). I think Garmin should consider a slim/smaller watch that offers simple information that will transmit most of the other stuff to your phone. It's that or wear a big watch.

Great features but not intuitive
Love my new watch but taking a lot of time to figure it out. Definitely not intuitive like Apple, and instructions are poor. Have to upload an addition app called garmin IQ. Even after I’ve still not figured out how to upload music. It’s take hours to figure it out. I’m not a techy person so I find it frustrating. User manual mediocre at best. You’d think that “I upload garmin IQ app” woidonnenoromjently written upon opening the watch, but nope! Once I get it figured out I think I will love it. But garmin has not been good at making things easy to figure out.

Expensive, poor features, clumsy to use
I figured since garmin had been doing navigation for decades they would make a smartwatch that could navigate-no luck. The maps are so poor that they don't even include the street I live on (it is a public road). To plot a trip you have to set up a course but after creating a course on my computer it wouldn't upload to my watch and it still couldn't navigate to an address. So for what I wanted it for the watch is pretty much useless. Save some money and get an apple watch

I got my Fenix for Christmas. I’d used the Venu for 2years and loved it. Now the Fenix- it’s awesome abd does even more! Garmin are the BEST!
