Types of Garmin Fenix 7
The sizes and characteristics will vary the functionalities and the price, and in broad strokes there are three editions and three sizes:
But better schematize it to clarify us because if it is not going to be the closest thing to a hieroglyph.
Estándar | Solar | Sapphire | |
---|---|---|---|
42 mm | Fenix 7S(700 €) | Fenix 7S Solar(800 €) | Fenix 7S Sapphire Solar(900 a 1000 €) |

In addition, the fundamental differences of characteristics based on the edition are these:
And now that we know what exactly each of the Fenix 7 are, we see what they offer, what news are there and all their details and potential.
News Garmin Fenix 7
What is new in this expected version?Well, a few things that are worth it:
Is it worth buying a Fenix 7?
This question flies on the holders of a fenix 6 mainly.In that specific case I would say it is worth waiting for a bit to solve bugs and save some euros until the first offers, because with a fenix 6 we are not doing.
However, the question is more interesting if it comes from those who have never had a clock of this type, or do not know what watch to acquire to cover their activities.Here you have to say that Garmin Fenix 7 is possibly the most advanced and versatile clock in the market (with permission of suunto 9 peak, polar gerit x pro or choirs VERTIX 2) For sports outdoor.And I say the most complete because the dessert serves almost everything.It is almost because, although it seems incredible, it does not yet incorporate cell technology or LTE of Forerunner 945.
Therefore you must assess whether your workouts are so intense and extreme as to require this type of clock, although if you are reading this I am almost certain that you are not doubting between this and a forerunner 245 ...
Updates in FENIX 6
One of the reasons that can make you doubt an immediate purchase of FENIX 7 are the imminent updates of FENIX 6.Skiview maps, updates in the Health Monitor, Activity Profile and Routines Hiit, correction of mistake.
Garmin Fenix 7 and Garmin Epix, transition watches?
I have commented on top, but it is one of the things that have surprised me the most and that I believe everyone expected.Where is the LTE?Where are the cellularities that would make this clock close the circle?How is it possible that a lower -end watch such as Forerunner 945 LTE, has functionalities of which Fenix 7 lacks?
Nor is it a file x.It is very likely that in much less than it has taken to leave the FENIX 7, a fenix 7 lte, or a fenix 8, will come out, while an epix lte or similar.Especially if we think about this technology not as a vain functionality worthy of Smartwatches top, but as an almost fundamental security tool to be able to get lost quiet among the wolves.
Garmin Fenix 7 vs Garmin Epix
Amoled is the God of the displays, and we know that up there, when you are hurryhow bright.
Epix can contribute to solving this, and added to the touch screen could seem like a definitive solution to that problem.However, it draws attention how Garmin is selling it in his campaign as a kind of complement clock, for those who do not require great demands in their adventures.
The truth is that autonomy decays a lot but, if the numbers that give departure are real, it can be more than enough for most of us, because we agree that we are not going to cross the northern pole with a sled tire by the Yeti.
As for this I would like to pronounce me after having done the complete test.
