Garmin's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink watch is back with hardware upgrades galore. Read our full Garmin Fenix 7 review to learn more.
Incredible battery life
The updates Garmin added to the Fenix 7 line are important but probably unnecessary for most users. Solar charging will help select people eke more battery life out of their watches. Multi-band GNSS has proven to be helpful in our testing, but again,...

The Garmin Fenix 7 is the ultimate sports watch for outdoor freaks and also one of the best fitness smartwatches, coming up short in one area.
Extremely extensive tracking capabilities ; Great outdoor sports features ; High quality build ; Different sizes available ; Amazing battery life ; Huge accessory ecosystem
Not quite the 'smart' watch
The Garmin Fenix 7 is an uncompromising and impressively robust sports watch that fulfills every wish of outdoor athletes in particular, and it does that at ten times the fervor. The transflective display may not be as fancy as the Garmin Epix 2 or the...

A built-in flashlight and a touchscreen make the Garmin Fenix 7 one of the most impressive GPS watches yet.
New training tools suit all levels of runner ; Brilliant touchscreen display ; Some models have extras like a flashlight
More costly than the Fenix 6
on the market.

Over the last few days there have been endless discussions about deciding between a and unit, so I figured a more detailed comparison was in order. In my case, I've been using the units for almost two months, and often side by side. An Epix on one...

If you want best in class navigation, mapping and fitness tracking, this is the wearable to get
Strong outdoor tracking accuracy ; Responsive touchscreen ; Improved battery life
It’s not cheap ; Not the full smartwatch experience ; Core experience similar to Fenix 6
The Fenix 7 is a great outdoor watch with new features that make it a worthwhile upgrade from the Fenix 6, if you value supreme outdoor accuracy. During testing we found the device’s increased number of mapping features work brilliantly. Coupled with...

Garmin's top-tier sports watch smashes its personal best
Accessible new training tools ; Superb navigation apps ; Extra-tough design ; Touchscreen operation works well ; Longer battery life without added heft ; GPS improvements
Low-contrast display ; No mic for hands-free calls ; Many different models can be confusing
The Fenix 7 is Garmin's most advanced multi-sports watch to date, but its new training tools have been carefully designed to make them accessible to a wider range of athletes. The new touchscreen is a bonus for browsing menus, and battery life has...

The Garmin Fenix 7 is bigger, bolder and more versatile than most rugged smartwatches on the market today
Flashlight is useful and fun to use ; New real-time stamina meter is an interesting feature ; Power Glass performs better and further extends battery life ; Refined physical design ; Touch controls work well ; Faster and more reliable GPS
Bulky to wear 24/7 ; Flashlight is only included in 7X model
The Garmin Fenix 7 is a beast of a smartwatch and improves on the already excellent Fenix 6, which is a great achievement. Just like previous Fenix models, the Fenix 7 is big, bold and works well as an outdoor, running and triathlon watch; but very few...

The do-it-all adventure watch now with solar-boosted battery life and more accurate GPS. Is the Garmin Felix 7 the best sports watch around?
Outstanding battery life ; Excellent durability ; Offline mapping
Bulky on the wrist ; Pricey
It comes in many forms, but whichever you go for, the Garmin Fenix 7 remains the best all-rounder outdoors adventure watch you can get.
