I love the Garmin watches, they are full of great functions, information and options to play with. Help me keep on top of my physical health. This is the second one I’ve had, still trying to work it all out, but that’s part of the fun .
Just a brilliant piece of kit for a beginner .
There is a wide range of data from
Basic cardiovascular to oxygen sats to sleep patterns . There is more athlete oriented data including V02 max . Some data takes week to be generated . This is an ongoing process .
Along with the garmin scales you can daily monitor your body fat composition .
There are many invaluable data sets .

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.
It’s a complete overkill for average individual, as well as regular athelete. Unless you are competing or an athelete at competetive range/level, well then… Go knock yourself out with the device son.
Went from using an iWatch to this Fenix.
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
I had a fenix 5 and did an upgrade. Worth every
Love this watch and never take it off. I have average size wrist but glad I got the small size as it is quite a big watch and I didn’t want it to take over my wrist. Functionality is amazing and I have probably only got around to using 25% of the features so far after a few months of use
waited ages to get this and i wasnt let down ..everything you need from a smart watch
After a week of use I am extremely pleased with this watch. It’s solid, well designed and the training planning tool has made a significant difference to the quality of my training. I wanted a watch with a mapping and navigation function to be able to run trails without checking my phone. This was the main reason why I chose this watch over other models and I’m glad I did. The ‘heads up’ display and haptic feedback when coming up to a turn is useful and very accurate. It would be even better if it used Ordinance Survey (UK) maps or was compatible with the OS app, but I’ve found it easy to plot a trail using the OS app, export the data in a file and then upload it into Garmin.
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.
Using only gps delivered wrong results, i had to activate all, and it did a good job. Apps is very good and detailed. Battery on a a avrg usage survives around 12-15 days. (10 hours of gps). Gets charged very quickly. No need to go for solar version for it needs daily sunlight exposure.
Lost my 6s. Bought this as up to date replacement. Not impressed with battery life. If I was unlucky enough to lose it, would replace with a 6s if still available.
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 for keeping me on the right path when hiking. The stats and tracking are amazing, allowing me to look back over my progress from previous hikes.
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.
What a watch this is, coming from Samsung Gear Wear. Its a solid watch, took me a few days to get used to it, but now it’s easy. Tracking is great, I never take it off, battery life is amazing, could go a month easy if you well optimise it! Even got a bit more charge on a hot day via solar!
The Fenix 7 is my fifth Garmin watch and my third Fenix watch. There is no massive difference between the Fenix 6 and 7, but as a sea swimmer the GPS tracking is important for me and it has to be said the Fenix 7’s GPS tracking is worlds apart from it’s predecessor. The Fenix 6 was consistently poor, no matter which satellite system you chose on the watch, the swims looked like a Richter scale chart, but the Fenix 7’s performance is stellar in that regard. This is a big factor for me, having decent and accurate open sea swim data.
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.
Excellent watch , was looking for a while to upgrade and after checking the reviews I thought the fenix 7 was the one for me
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
