We all know there are seven days in a week – which is kind of a coincidence.
Because the Fenix 7 is the high-performance multi-sport smartwatch that’s purpose-built for every one of those days. Let’s check it out!
One of the first things you’ll notice about the Fenix 7 is the updated, ultra-tough, premium design.
Not only has it been tested to meet U.S military standards, but you’ll also be able to fit this watch’s look to your lifestyle, since we continue to use premium materials like stainless steel and titanium.
If you’re familiar with previous Fenix models, I’m sure that all sounds vaguely familiar.
So, what exactly is updated?
We did something in the Fenix 7 that Fenix has never had before – Touch screen and buttons…. seriously.
You’ll immediately notice the trusted button controls that work in any environment are matched with a responsive new touchscreen interface for quick access to selections and functions.
It’s like having the best of both worlds – all in one watch!
To help you navigate both on and off the beaten path, the Fenix 7 series comes packed with premium outdoor features.
I’m talking about useful tools and maps for any adventure – such as ABC sensors, multi-continent TopoActive maps, CourseView maps, and even SkiView maps with run names and difficulty ratings.
Yes, they’re all at your disposal.
In addition to the multi-GNSS support that you’ve come to know and love in many of our other products, select models of the Fenix 7 have multi-band frequency support.
But utilizing it greatly improves position accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically don’t penetrate – such as around tall buildings and in dense foliage.
You’ll notice a lot of features in the Fenix 7 that carried over from previous models – such as the plethora of built-in sports apps.
No matter how you like to exert yourself, you can use these preloaded activity profiles Running, Hiking, Swimming, Biking, and the list goes on.
I mean - look at all the available activities.
When you select an activity, you’ll get detailed information along the way and your data screens are totally customizable to your liking.
You’ll even get cross-country ski dynamics when paired with the HRM-Pro chest strap, giving you the actual exercise load of your cross-country workouts.
And this is just one example.
With the growing popularity of HIIT workouts, you should be able to track your routine as easily as you do for runs, rides, and swims.
As a newly added feature to the Fenix 7 series, this activity profile tracks your high-intensity interval training workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, and Tabata,
allowing you to set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.
Not only did we include preloaded HIIT workouts on the watch, but you can download more and even build your own custom HIIT workout in Garmin Connect.
When you’re navigating a course in an activity, knowledge is power.
And knowing what’s around the next bend can help us make calculated decisions during the activity.
With the new Up-Ahead feature in the Fenix 7 series, you’ll get at-a-glance awareness for selected POI checkpoints along the way.
You’ll also be able to view performance metrics, split times, and distance/elevation information.
Let me show you how this works.
When you create a course in Garmin Connect, just add your course points such as aid stations, water, etc., and upload it to your Fenix 7.
When you’re navigating that course in an activity, the Up-Ahead information will show up as a data screen.
Then there’s Real-time Stamina.
You know, it’s not uncommon to feel so good at the beginning of a run that we push harder than we should.
And before we know it, we’re out of gas – way too early.
With Real-time Stamina, you’ll get the data you need to track and manage your exertion – and help avoid overexerting at the start of your activity and bonking halfway through.
To access it, select a running or biking activity and go to the settings menu.
Then select data fields.
You can either choose to have Stamina be on its own page, or you can choose to add a data field to an existing page – then pick from the list of various Stamina data fields.
While we’re on the topic of performance, let’s not just talk about how we feel during the activity, but also how we feel leading up to it.
To perform our best, we should have insights to help us know if we’re at our best – and the Fenix 7 series has them all.
With features like Wrist-Based Heart rate, PulseOx, Advanced Sleep Monitoring, and Body Battery, you’ll have the information you need to help you know if you’re ready to start off your activity right.
Tack on Respiration tracking and Hydration tracking, and you’ll know your body better – 24/7.
And since you’re wearing the watch 24/7, you should be able to stay connected with your life on the go.
That’s where the connected features on the Fenix 7 series come in.
Wondering if you can get emails, texts, and alerts on your watch? – yes you can.
On-board music from your favorite playlists? – it’s in there.
Garmin Pay contactless payment solution? – you can breathe easy while you breeze through those checkout lines.
And let’s not forget the included Safety and Tracking features.
If your watch senses that an incident occurred, assistance and incident detection features can send a message with your location to your emergency contacts.
I’ve got one more surprise for you, so let me shed some light on this next feature.
To help guide your way in low-light conditions, the built-in multi-LED flashlight in the Fenix 7x provides quick access to a bright, steady beam of illumination.
You can choose one of four levels of brightness for the white light, or the single setting for the red light – to help prevent blinding and preserve your night vision.
There’s even several available strobe patterns to choose from as well as a distress option.
Now, I know what you must be thinking – what’s the battery life like?
Well, battery life can get a little tricky because a lot of variables come into play that can affect it.
Some examples include PulseOx, smart notifications, GPS, Music, or any combination of these.
Then there are options to help extend battery life such as Battery Saver Mode, Expedition Mode, and let’s not forget solar technology – which can help you go longer between charges.
Let me try and keep this as simple as possible by showing you what the battery life can look like.
You’re going to see a lot of numbers here, so stick with me.
The Fenix 7 series is offered in both Standard and Solar options.
As you’ll see on your screen, with the Standard Edition, there’s a pretty big range when it comes to battery life, depending on the model and settings.
We’ll give you a second or two to digest these – but if you need more time, feel free to pause the video.
Of course with our solar models, you’ll be able to do more and charge less – thanks to a revolutionary new Garmin watch lens technology.
Think in terms of weeks, not just days – depending on the model, settings, and how much time you spend in the sun.
As you can see, these solar models can harness the sun’s energy to generate more on-wrist time for your off-grid adventures.
The more light your watch is exposed to, the longer you can go.
See, I told you it was a lot of numbers, but I hope being able to pause the video and look them over - helps.
Combining the best features of our Outdoor and Fitness watches - these rugged, multisport GPS smartwatches blend cutting-edge design and performance with everyday wearability.
With all of these great features at your fingertips, we hope you’ll go longer, get stronger, and get better at whatever – seven days a week – with the Fenix 7 series.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to learn more about the fēnix 7.
For now, that’s all I‘ve got.
This is Matt from Garmin hoping that wherever your adventure takes you, we’ve helped you beat yesterday!
