Was it worth waiting for the Garmin fénix 7?
It seems that the long wait was worth it. The Garmin fēnix 7 is here, and we bring you a summary of reasons why you should consider purchasing the new generation of fēnix watches.
There has been much speculation about what the new seventh generation of Garmin fénix watches will bring. Years of evolution have significantly refined its predecessor, but we must admit that the new model offers strong arguments for replacement, even if you bought your fénix just yesterday. The official launch took place on January 18, 2022.
Fewer compromises
The controls remain mechanical, thankfully, but you can combine them with the much-desired touchscreen. Although you will certainly not be using the touchscreen when wearing gloves and with sweaty fingers during sports, in such cases it is possible to turn off the touch sensitivity or even set it to deactivate when a sporting activity is started. But when navigating and searching for points of interest on SkiView or TopoActive maps, you'll want to send the engineers at Garmin at least a glass of cold beer. The display size varies between models, from 1.2 inches on the 7S to 1.4 inches on the 7X.

Various performance metrics have also been redesigned to help you better manage your effort and build overall endurance. This allows you to optimize your rest time by monitoring your heart rate, respiration, stress, and sleep. In addition to GPS, Sapphire models also feature precise multi-band GNSS position sensors that will guide you even on unmarked trails. Smart features remain, as do music in the watch and the GarminPay payment service (must be supported by your bank).
The models will be available in three sizes
in several versions made from premium materials such as titanium and sapphire, offering a total of 22 combinations.
fenix 7S / fenix 7S Solar / fenix 7S Sapphire Solar
fenix 7 / fenix 7 Solar / fenix 7 Sapphire Solar
fenix 7X Solar/ fenix 7X Sapphire Solar
The battery has not been forgotten either, as it now has a longer life. In the case of Solar models, we can talk about double the energy intake from sunlight, with the solar panel located directly in the display. The fénix 7X Solar model can last up to 5 weeks on a single charge in smartwatch mode or 5 days in GPS mode, and is water resistant to 10ATM.
How does the new Garmin fénix 7 model differ from the previous fénix 6 generation?
A touchscreen transflective display has been added, with AMOLED technology in the Epix Pro model. More durable body with improved button protection and metal lug protection. Double solar gain.
Availability of the Sapphire Solar combination with a touchscreen display.
Multi-band receivers for GPS satellite signals with L5 band support, more accurate positioning wherever the GNSS signal has many reflections or penetrates obstacles less effectively (Sapphire models only).
The integrated powerful LED light on 7X models adapts to the runner's cadence and switches between red and white.
More convenient and accurate setup using the Garmin Connect service on your smartphone.
Real-Time Stamina feature: use the data to determine your energy status and more effectively avoid the familiar "burnout."
This is just a selection of the best features offered by Garmin fēnix 7. We already have them in store and are going to take a look at the first one.
