This watch does everything you want a watch to do… The golf function is every bit as good as the former dedicated Garmin golf watches I’ve had. And has an abundance of extras to use.
Now that in itself was a big change, the watch is big which took a little getting use to.
I have used Garmin on my bikes for years with no issues, and the watch was the same – no issues at all. Records all my activities easily, gives me a good insight into my sleep patterns as well.
All in all, a great bit of kit, and invaluable for people who lead an active lifestyle
waited ages to get this and i wasnt let down ..everything you need from a smart watch
I did loads of research to choose a watch to match my needs, which came down to between the Fenix 7 and Epix 2 and whether the better quality Epix ameloid screen was worth the extra money. Although I only have a dull January to go from, the Fenix 7 screen is clear and easy to see, so I’m completely happy with it.
Wanted an all round smart watch for ages
Had a few apple watches which are good
but this Garmin is night and day better
It looks great has all the apps and sports on it and unlike apple 99% of them are either pre loaded or free on the Garmin app very happy
Update the case is easier to scratch than I would of liked
Good to be able to plot my own routes on OSMap and then add to Garmin although unfortunately the Garmin app has an error unless you upload and save the .gpx file using another app first.
On the negative side – from day one, the pool swimming activity did not work. The watch was unable to count pool lengths, something the Fenix 6 did perfectly well. This confused me greatly, that Garmin would release the 7 without having made sure everything worked. After several weeks Garmin introduced a patch for this and other teething problems the watch had. Thankfully that fixed the problem.
Now to the most disappointing part – The back/lap button (bottom right button) on the Fenix 7 has stopped working after about 8 weeks usage – this, frankly, is unnaccepable for such an expensive piece of kit, so I will be sending this watch back for a replacement as soon as they are back in stock.
Overall a fantastic piece of kit – but with some teething problems.
Some great apps , all a bit complicated to start with but follow instructions and your away , solar charging keeps it charged up but not fully , waterproof etc good maps , fitness tracker etc
Some cool watch faces to download and straps are real easy to change
