Loving the battery life and MIP display
I've had an Apple Watch for several years, and, while I still like it in a general sort of way, it falls short for me. It's useless for travel IMO because of the short battery life, and that's what brought me here. I've had my Fenix 7s Pro - Sapphire Solar for about a month, and I love it. I would have charged the Apple Watch 30 times by now; I've charged the Fenix 7s Pro twice. :) I'm still learning about it, but I'm super impressed with its performance. Easy to have a good experience straight out of the box. I walk, run a little, cycle a little, swim, practice Pilates, walk dogs, and do the occasional sprint triathlon, but I also hike a fair amount and volunteer as a naturalist. I'm leaning more into that as I get older, and many of my travel dreams involve hiking, although nothing too extreme. I'm female. In choosing a watch, I wanted: - a least a few days of battery life - phone notifications (calling not necessary) - sports settings - maps/navigation/compass - music stored on the watch The Fenix, Epix, and Forerunner models offered all of those. I have small wrists, and the 47mm size just wasn't comfortable for me, which ruled out Forerunner. Since I would be going with 42mm, I decided on MIP display for the better battery life. Wasn't sure of sapphire vs. Gorilla glass, as I'm usually not hard on watches, but I'm definitely not a rose gold/tan person. All that led me to the Fenix 7s Pro Sapphire in black. I need some color, so I've changed the strap. The watch does way more than I need, but it has everything I wanted as a casually active person with diverse interests, and it might inspire me to dig deeper in some activities. No regrets!

The perfect watch!
Upgraded from a Venu 2 to this. My friend gave this to me after a year of using it. We do the same sports, and it’s held up well for what she put it through! This is the perfect watch for a weekend warrior! The endurance score, hill score, training readiness & training status are insightful - an upgrade from the Venu. It has more than enough activity profiles. Battery life is Garmin standard and the solar is a nice addition. It easily connects to my external HR monitor. I use the flashlight feature more than I thought I would! You can’t go wrong with Garmin. If you are on the fence about this watch, don’t be!

Full Featured and User Friendly
I absolutely love my fenix 7S Pro - it is the best piece of wearable tech I've ever owned. The range of data that it provides is outstanding, but more important to me is fact that the device is very user friendly. I'm not particularly adept with tech, yet the fenix 7S Pro in quite intuitive. I'm still exploring the functionality, but the data it has provided on my runs and walks has been unparalleled and exceptionally accurate. I highly recommend this device!

Great battery
Charged twice in 3 weeks and haven't spent any time outside so hopefully it will last longer then

Love it
I went from an Apple Watch 8 to the Garmin Vivoactive 5 to now this watch and I absolutely love it. It definitely caters more to my fitness goals and what I’m trying to achieve. I love all the features that it offers, and I love the design of the watch. I really like the solar design and not the bright oled display. I switched out the watchband to make the watch more comfortable to wear. I did choose this watch over the fenix 8 and I do not regret my decision. I feel like I got the same watch for half the price. I have been using this watch to marathon train and track my gym sessions and it has been very helpful. This watch made me realize that what I needed was a fitness watch and not a smart watch

Clunky and Unreliable
I purchased the Fenix 7S Pro with high expectations. Out of the box it was impressive. Great styling and lots of functions. But then I went for a MTB ride and ended up with a bruise on my wrist from the bezel. After first ocean swim it froze in open swim mode. Next time I swam with it in pool....same issue. Sleep start time was always 2 hours later than when I went to sleep. Battery life was unimpressive even with solar at 7-8 days on a full charge. I've owned many Garmin watches and this one was sub-standard. HOWEVER, I replaced it with a Forerunner 265S and it ROCKS! 5 stars! Much lighter, more user friendly and 20 days of use on one charge...FANTASTIC! So save your money and buy the 265S.

fenix 7s Pro Sapphire Solar
Things I love about it: the flashlight. The smaller size on my wrist compared to bigger watches. The battery life is 11 days… but with flashlight usage, training, and other I get about 6-8 days in between charges. And a full charge is very fast! It’s back on my wrist in no time at all. Low battery mode stretches it out SUBSTANTIALLY if you’re in a pinch! Sleeping with it is no hassle, and using it as a silent alarm on my wrist with the vibrate only mode allows me to wake up without disturbing the babies in the early mornings—this capability changed my life. The option to turn off/on the touch screen is great- I like it off most times, but I really appreciate that I can turn it on anytime I want for a more modern feel and interaction. I love the buttons and prefer to use them over the touch screen. Also love the GARMIN service. My first watch started having issues with the flashlight. I called garmin, went through the troubleshooting and provided a video of the issue online. They swapped my watch with a replacement free of charge since I was still within my 1 year warranty period. From what I can tell, even after my 1 year warranty expires, they have options for us that are a lot cheaper than a total replacement in case something happens again. That makes me feel good to know they’re still supporting me as I want to stay with GARMIN long term. Overall, I’d say it’s the best smart watch I have owned. I have Apple Watch but I prefer my Garmin 10 times out of 10. Also, garmin did not pay me for this review.
