This is more watch than most people need, at a considerable price many won't be able to afford. But if your budget stretches – and your fitness pursuits demand it – the Garmin Fenix 7's impressive combination of rugged durability, serious battery enduran...
Great battery life, Superb accuracy, Full maps across all models
Native running power still missing, Multi-band GNSS only on Sapphire models, Expensive
All of which brings us to the verdict, which is a nice and easy one to deliver. If you want the very best in multi-sports wearable technology, get yourself a Fenix 7 – preferably the 47mm model, which delivers the best ratio of screen size to battery life...

Improved outdoor tracking accuracy, Well executed touchscreen, Sports tracking features and insights aplenty
Optical heart rate at high intensity, Battery performance with multi-band GNSS mode, Not a radically different look from the Fenix 6
If you want the outdoor watch that promises the best mix of tracking, performance and battery life, the Fenix 7 is still the one to beat in our eyes. It would've been interesting to see Garmin do something different with the design, but it's a look that w...

expensive, big, limited Garmin Pay bank support, limited smartwatch features compared with Apple Watch/Galaxy Watch, no voice control, screen basic compared to OLED
The Fenix 7 is a powerhouse of a do-it-all, go-anywhere, track-anything adventure watch, that is very much the best in the market.It is an excellent follow-up to the Fenix 6 line that introduces meaningful upgrades, many of which are expected to flow down...
Excellent battery life,Touchscreen is a useful addition,Plethora of workout modes,Really solid build quality

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 pe...

Abstract: Over the last 6-8 months we've seen watch companies, including Garmin and COROS, add multi-band/dual-frequency GPS chipsets to their watches, which have long-promised to be the holy-grail of GPS accuracy. As I've shown in my in-depth reviews though, that...
