I have had a garmin watch for over 10 years and they just keep getting better

Love this watch

I bought this based on how much I loved my Fenix 6s Pro. I wasn't ready to spend the cash on an 8 yet but wanted to try the solar out. So far this watch hasn't disappointed me. The solar does seem to add a little to the battery life on the smaller size watch and I like the extra functions and metrics that the 6 didn't have. Touch screen is nice too. I would recommend if you're not ready to pay for an 8 yet.

Much improved over my 6s

Great watch and a good upgrade from my previous 6s. Great additional features including the Morning Report. Also appreciate the solar charging - it really helps.

Two years- requesting service

History: I had my Fenix5 Sapphire for 5 years before deciding I want a slightly smaller watch with equal or greater performance (I handed down the older watch to a family member). I think the biggest downgrade initially was the fenix 7S Sapphire Solar seemed to have shorter battery, every other aspect met or exceeded expectations! After two years of loving this watch I am having difficulties, I tried all troubleshooting tips to have the buttons reset/stop glitching including soft and hard resta...

Seemed cool

I bought this over a year ago and am now changing to a smart ring... the solar charge is not that great and it barley charges the watch. That sleep tracking was always messed up and now it hasn't even been tracking it just over all not very happy with it. It also made a mark on my skin where I wore it.

Do not buy and explore other brands

This watch has been replaced three times. I received a refurbished replacement and then a brand new replacement. The wrist heart rate monitor is pretty bad. The wrist HR monitor combined with connect is even worse. My heart rate zones: zone 3, 142-152; zone 4, 153-152; zone 5, >153. I just caught this after the wrist HR monitor has been faulty for over 2 months. The other watches had several issues with the wrist HR monitor. Compared to taking my actual pulse, the watch was wrong by 40-50 ...

Great features

Made the switch from Apple Watch to the Garmin Fenix 7s sapphire solar and I wish I would have done it sooner, connects to my phone easier than the apple Watch did, there are so many informative features and the battery life is awesome.

Garmin is still the BEST!

I used to be an Apple Watch owner. I had two of them and they broke each one after wear and tear. I decided to do some research and found Garmin and I got the Fenix 6S pro Solar and I had it for years and fell in love with Garmin. Such a better brand a better make last longer durable. It has so many more functions. It does so much more especially if you’re an athlete you will love this watch even if you’re not it has sleeping oxygen every kind of athletic sport you can think of. Well, the fa...

I Love Data!

Love my Fénix 7 Solar Sapphire! I’m very motivated by tracking all my activities. I have my gym workouts saved and several cycling routes. I track my ocean rows in my single shell, and all my walks and rides, the tides, the weather, my heart rate, distance, time. The challenges are fun.

I use this item to track my workout and hikes and runs! I also rely on HRV and Health stats from the device to plan my workout intensity! So far, I have been impressed with the functionality and precision on this Garmin product and other Garmin products I own. Highly recommend it!

Great outdoors watch, downside is the proprietary charger

The Garmin Fenix 7S Solar Sapphire is an exceptional product. With an impressively long battery life that's further extended by solar charging, it ensures you're always powered up for your adventures. Its design is not only functional but also considerate of those with smaller wrists, making it a great option for anyone seeking a compact yet powerful smartwatch. However, one downside is the proprietary charger, which can be a bit inconvenient. Despite this, it remains a highly recommended choic...

Great

I have had this watch for over a year now, and the battery and it is not holding the charge like it did in the beginning. The watch has a lot of features that I may not ever use. I haven't really noticed the solar making any difference in the charge. I am still happy with all the features that I am aware of and able to use. I am hoping that the battery doesn't lose any more of the capacity as it ages. It offers a lot of recommendations for your daily activities.

Bought a refurb to replace original model

The refurb’s battery is not as good as my original (2.5 year old) Fenix 7s. Have to charge it more frequently. I also note that this refurb is slightly different than my original. In that my original had a raised bevel, and the refurb has recessed glass. Since I had to replace mine because the glass cracked from a side hit, and that wouldn’t have happened with this newer version, i feel like Garmin recognized there was an issue in the old model.

Great watch lots of whistles and bells

I got an exchange for my Garmin 6s fenix which stopped holding a charge. Garmin was gracious enough to replace it. The upgrade to the 7s is very nice. It does everything I need, and more. Mi haven’t used or explored all the features yet.
