Garmin  fenix 7S Multisport GPS Watch

This is my second Garmin Fenix... I wear it 24/7. I owned a Fenix 5S the last five years and the Fenix 7S is the upgrade I was waiting for. The new sensor, touch screen and Garmin’s outstanding performance… I am absolutely in love with my new watch.

El reloj es bueno tiene una amplia variedad de deportes y su batería dura 7 días. Mi única crítica va hacia la calidad de los botones. El mio a los 8 meses de haberlo comprado que sólo lo uso para correr se le daño el botón de START, lo cuál hace que funcione casi todo en el reloj. Tuve que llamar a la Garantía, y pues la solución es enviarte uno reparado, lo cuál también demora varios dias Pienso que para ser un reloj de alta calidad y diseñado para hacer múltiples deportes presentó un defecto muy rápido. Deberían trabajar en esto, porque en mi caso me decepcionó bastante. Por años, tuve un Samsung y nunca presente problemas. Esperaba más del Garmin.

Energy efficient and packed with features, this watch pairs well with my Pixel phone along with my Garmin Edge. I have small wrists (150mm), and this Fenix 7S (42mm) fit me perfectly! I initially tried a Fenix 7 (47mm) but it was way too large and nearly overhanged the width of my wrist. The latest firmware added the Morning Report which I enjoy browsing through when I wake up, as it summarizes not only my latest slumber, but my training readiness and weather for the day ahead. If I could suggest one feature, it would be cellular connectivity for phone calls and texts. The moment this transpires, I would no longer need my Apple Watch with LTE any more!

Got this watch for Christmas and I love it. Had been wearing the Apple Watch for sometime and was looking for something different. My Apple Watch is a joke compared to the the Garmin. Has great features and is easy to navigate. Battery life is amazing been wearing mine for 2 weeks before having to charge again.

Printed product manual is minimal, but the app tells me to set up features one by one gradually and at a manageable learning pace. As a beginner, I am really enjoying the built in running coach.

Very much enjoying these enhanced features and impressive new analytics.

I’ve owned quite a few GPS devices but this is my first GPS watch, and I like it much more than I expected. Is a good size for my wrist and the battery life is impressive. The menus are not very intuitive, but generally I’m finding them OK to navigate with a bit of practice. The features are great; heart rate, elevation, speed, distance and tracking are the main ones I use and they all seem fairly accurate. There are lots of other statistics that I don’t use at all. I bought this rather than a Forerunner largely because of the mapping, and because an REI sale brought the price down to about the same level; in practice the mapping has limited value because the watch face is fairly small so you can only see a small area on the screen.

Great product when it works. However, the garmin warranty is only one year. Within the first 6 months of owning I encountered a software issue (stuck in restart cycle) that required replacement of the whole unit. Garmin was great, got me a new one. However, 12 months later the Stop/Start button has stopped functioning, and within days the same software bug is happening again. I'm only 6 months out of warranty. I've had other (cheaper!) Garmin watches function flawlessly for much, much longer. This watch wasn't subjected to unreasonable or harsh conditions, or used for any purpose outside of what it is advertised to do. It's just a dud model in desperate need of both hardware and software fixes in order to live up to its 650$ price tag.

I've had the Fenix 5s and the Vivoactive Music 3 and now I am happy to have the Fenix 7s. The main reason I bought the Fenix is battery life. I run 18 mile trail races while listening to music so I wanted a watch that could get all my data, provide music, and have some life afterwards. I mountain bike a lot and my frustration is with the thickness and weight of the watch. On the descent the watch bounces and pushes into my wrist and hand, sometimes pushing the start/stop button without my knowledge. I did rotate my brake levers and that helped but the watch still moves as I go over rocks, tree roots, etc. I hope in the future Garmin is able to decrease the weight of the watch so it will stay put better on a small wrist. I really hope Garmin will keep in mind that many of its users have small wrists.

I’ve used a vivoactive for years and liked it. I’ve started doing more trails and needed a solid GPS function and battery life and this has been phenomenal. The price tag initially hurt but considering I used my vivoactive for hundreds of miles and daily use, I would say that I got maximum utility out of the product. Considering I plan on wearing this watch everyday and using it for long distance runs as well as health tracking everyday for the next several years I believe the value exceeds the initial price tag. It may be inexpensive for some but I try to be as shrewd as possible spending money on myself and what in my head was a luxury item. The watch has now become a necessity.
