There are 7 days in a week. And the fēnix® 7 multisport GPS watch is built to go strong for all of them. Meet any athletic or outdoor challenge with cutting-edge training features, sports apps, 24/7 health and wellness monitoring and more. Use trusted button controls or a new touchscreen interface to access selections. Gain performance insights and metrics that help you manage your exertion and build stamina. Optimize recovery and overall wellness by monitoring heart rate, respiration, stress, sleep and more (this device is intended to give an estimation of your activity and metrics; it is not a medical device). GPS and outdoor navigation sensors guide your outings off the beaten path. And to complement your tamer days, connected features include smart notifications (when connected to a compatible smartphone) music storage and Garmin Pay™ contactless payments in supported countries and payment networks.

OutdoorGearLab

The Garmin Fenix 7 is the best GPS watch we've ever tested. This model is intuitive and accurate, with a battery life that'll last through most ultra-distance events. The Garmin user interface is our favorite, and the extensive feature helps improve our time outdoors without being annoying or difficult to use. We appreciate the durable design, sleek look, and bonus features like massive music storage, Garmin Pay, onboard maps, and integration with Garmin's robust online ecosystem.
While this is a great watch, the price is high, and many will find better value in other lower-priced options that don't have as many features. Taking the time to learn all about the feature options and how to set them up is a time investment as well. That said, if you can afford it, this is the best GPS watch in today's market.

Switchback Travel

Garmin’s Fenix 7 undoubtedly is expensive, but it’s hands-down the best backcountry-ready sports watch collection on the market. With a number of variations (including three sizes and Solar and Sapphire models), the powerhouse line boasts top-notch build quality and durability, a crisp and easy-to-read screen, accurate tracking for a wide array of activities, and enough advanced metrics to satisfy even the most discerning athletes. Importantly, the recently updated Fenix 7 builds off of the success of the 6 Pro with music storage, contactless pay, and far and away the best available watch-based mapping: you get preloaded maps (including detailed contour lines, trails, and geographic place names) and extensive navigation tools for activities ranging from hiking and mountaineering to trail running and skiing. And the 7 also features a touchscreen (this was one of our only gripes with the 6 Pro), quite literally putting all of these features right at your fingertips.

The biggest downsides of the Fenix 7 are cost, complexity, and weight. Prices have been increasing in general, but the $700 MSRP for the base 7 puts it out of reach for many people (the Solar version is $800, while the Sapphire Solar is $900). Moreover, the tech is overkill for someone just looking for the basics like distance covered, elevation gain, and barometric pressure. In that case, the COROS Apex above is a better option, and the revamped Instinct 2 Solar below is even more impressive in terms of solar-powered battery life (for $350 cheaper than the 7S). Finally, even in the smallest "S" form, the Fenix is on the bulky and heavy side, and you will feel the extra heft during activities like running, mountain biking, and XC skiing. But for backcountry adventurers looking for a rugged and highly capable sports watch, it’s our top choice. Of note: models of the Fenix 6 are still available (often at a discount), and it's also worth checking out the new Epix, which offers a similar feature set with a high-end AMOLED screen.See the Garmin Fenix 7

The Instinct 2 Solar gets our top pick for its durable construction and long-lasting solar power, but explorers who want top-of-the-line GPS navigation should look to Garmin’s premier multisport watch, the Fenix 7. Like the Instinct, the powerhouse Fenix includes quality ABC sensors, accurate tracking—thanks to GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite compatibility—and features like wrist-based heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. Importantly, the Fenix 7 (available in standard, sapphire, and solar versions) also has the best available wrist-based mapping: detailed contour lines and extensive navigation tools that excel for activities ranging from hiking and mountaineering to trail running and skiing. Finally, while not quite up to snuff with the Instinct 2 Solar, the latest version of the Fenix also got a serious bump in battery life, which is helpful for extended trips.

The biggest downsides of the Fenix 7 are cost, complexity, and weight. Considering that you can get a capable altimeter watch for less than $200, the $700 MSRP for the Fenix will put it out of reach for many (the solar edition is $800, while the sapphire model will run you $900). What’s more, the tech is overkill for someone just looking for the basics like barometric pressure, elevation, and temperature—and when it comes to getting the most out of your altimeter watch, sometimes less is more. Finally, even in the smallest “S” form, the Fenix is on the heavy side due to its stainless steel build, and you’ll feel the extra heft during activities like running. But if you value the Garmin’s slick navigational features and don’t mind paying for extras like WiFi support and music storage, it’s one heck of an altimeter watch.See the Garmin Fenix 7  See the Garmin Fenix 7S

Best GPS Watch of 2022 - GearLab

 Before with the F6x, it would take a few steps to lock out in the open.  Out of the box, my F7x was on the 7.20 firmware. Earlier this week while sitting at my desk, I received a vibrate alert and the message onscreen said it was upgrading to new 7

20 firmware. Earlier this week while sitting at my desk, I received a vibrate alert and the message onscreen said it was upgrading to new 7.24 firmware. It took only a few seconds and it rebooted the watch

 With it fully charged and all sensors on, it said 20-day battery life. Simply amazing. My F6x on a full charge said it would last 10 days but it worked out to be only 5. The big dip came when Sleep Score was introduced but it could have been the battery was on its way out

 The F7x does not disappoint with battery… until I saw the Instinct 2 Solar specs. I pulled it out of the box on 1/26 at 80% charge and only charged it on 2/10 when it reached 20%. With it fully charged and all sensors on, it said 20-day battery life. Simply amazing

Amazing watch with nothing missed from older models

Battery life is great, tracking is excellent, and I'm really impressed by everything it does and how well. Also a huge fan of the transflective screen vs AMOLED. Indoors, it looks like a normal watch and not my phone. In bed, I can check it without being blinded

Perfect, except the music player

 I really want to give this 5 stars.  THE ONLY ISSUE is the fitness tracker/recommendations. I have been working out A TON ever since I got this, which was sort of the point. This watch wants me to slow down and do more "low aerobic" activities

 I have been working out A TON ever since I got this, which was sort of the point. This watch wants me to slow down and do more "low aerobic" activities. As a result, for two weeks it has been warning me I'm "unproductive" and my stats (VO2 max and heat acclimation) have backslid inexplicably even though I'm working out all the damn time (in summer heat, no less). Sure, I may be overdoing it a little, but this watch can't seriously think I'm trending backward in terms of my fitness level

 Battery life is superb. Super easy to use, and they seem to have thought of everything (example: turning off touch screen while you're recording an exercise activity but still allowing scrolling/functionality with intuitive button presses). The data collected are really helpful, especially if you sync them with Strava (subscription costs extra). I bought the HRM-one heart rate monitor to pair with it and it works very well

 As a result, for two weeks it has been warning me I'm "unproductive" and my stats (VO2 max and heat acclimation) have backslid inexplicably even though I'm working out all the damn time (in summer heat, no less). Sure, I may be overdoing it a little, but this watch can't seriously think I'm trending backward in terms of my fitness level. I appreciate the amount of thought and expertise that apparently went into these metrics, but how about some credit for putting in a whole lot of work?? I was hoping the HRM strap would help the app recalibrate its expectations based on more accurate biodata, but if anything this problem got worse. Garmin product support specialists were awesome and friendly, but all they could tell me was to take these automated assessments with a big grain of salt

Probably Deserves 5, But...

 Fenix 7 vs Fenix 6 To be honest, there's not much of difference between two generations other than 1. 7 has touch screen and 6 doesn't 2. 7 supports most languages and 6 doesn't 3. 7 has a bit more solar charging area than 6 So, if you don't need other language support and don't use map often, go ahead and grab a Fenix 6 instead

 7 has much longer battery life. Almost three weeks vs 5's one week. This is huge, but I think it's mostly from better power management rather than solar charging. I wear it 7/24 and never take it off

 For the 5, it often brushes off 10% of the battery by doing so. Now the 7 takes only 4% off the charge 2. 7 is 5.5 grams lighter than 5

  Part1. Fenix 7 vs Fenix 5 1. 7 has much longer battery life. Almost three weeks vs 5's one week

Almost perfect

 I have a Sony phone now, so I guess I will have to look elsewhere for a decend smart watch to pair it with.

 No wonder all the reviewers crow about is the battery life becasue that is the single positive thing about this watch.  I came here from the Samsung 3, which was a great smart watch but only pairs with Samsung phones. I have a Sony phone now, so I guess I will have to look elsewhere for a decend smart watch to pair it with.

Dim screen

it does a lot of things but...$800 are really not worth it, especially when a lot of those things are done at half the price from other smartwatches - even from the same manufacturer! after a few days I have returned it

very overpriced for the quality

Upgrade Pick

UNCOMPROMISING MULTISPORT TRAINING GPS WATCH
 * Stainless Steel EXO antenna with GPS + GLONASS support for fast fix and accuracy
 * 1.2-inch sunlight readable color Chroma display
 * Fitness training features like VO2 Max and Recovery Advisor (when used with a heart rate monitor¹)
 * Outdoor navigation features like 3-axis compass, altimeter and barometer, TracBack and Sight’n Go
 * Connect IQ compatibility for customized apps, widgets, watch faces and data fields

fēnix 3 is the rugged, capable and smart multisport training GPS watch. With feature sets for fitness training plus feature sets for outdoor navigation, fēnix 3 is ready for any training activity and competition. Access to the Connect IQ platform allows customization of watch faces, data fields, widgets and activities. And, fēnix 3 is a thin, light multisport training GPS that won’t slow you down whether for training or every day use.

SERIOUS STYLE THAT STANDS UP TO THE ROUGHEST CONDITIONS
fēnix 3 is available in 3 bold models: gray with high-strength, scratch resistant, crystal and black band; silver with red band; and the premium sapphire model with a stainless steel band and sapphire lens. Each watch features a protective stainless steel bezel and buttons, and reinforced housing for extra durability. A sunlight-visible high-resolution color Chroma display with LED backlight lets you access your data in any light. fēnix 3 is water rated 100 meters and has a battery life of up to 50 hours in UltraTrac mode, 16 hours in GPS mode and up to 3 months in watch mode (all depending on settings).

ADVANCED FITNESS METRICS
fēnix 3 is packed with training features to tell you about your form and fitness. The first is the VO2 max estimator. When used with a heart rate monitor¹, fēnix 3 crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. Track changes to your VO2 max to see your fitness gains and to compare with your peers. Other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check, plus a Race Predictor, which estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.

RUNNING DYNAMICS FEATURES
fēnix 3 incorporates sophisticated Garmin running watch feedback on your running form by reporting multiple metrics. When used with the HRM-Run monitor¹, fēnix 3 reports your cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time. These metrics are called running dynamics, and they affect your running economy.

SWIM PROFILE AND SKI-BOARD MODE
The fēnix 3 isn’t just for running; special feature sets help swim training and skiing too. Borrowing from the Garmin Swim, fēnix 3 tracks your distance, pace, stroke count and more. You just tell fēnix 3 the size of the pool you’re swimming in and begin your workout. Ski-board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and an automatic run counter (with Auto Pause for the lift line) and more at your fingertips. You can even use your fēnix 3 as a glove-friendly remote, via ANT+, for the VIRB and VIRB Elite action cameras.

NAVIGATE YOUR WAY
No other navigator GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) wristwatch offers you the combined training functions and our leading GPS technology. fēnix 3 provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities to guide you on and off the beaten track. Its built-in sensors provide information on heading, elevation and weather changes.

It records a GPS track log creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move. It also allows you to mark locations, such as a start/finish line, course checkpoint, or a campsite, vehicle or other point of interest. With fēnix 3, you can create and follow courses, mark up to 1,000 locations and store up to 10,000 track points and navigate to them.

Plan trips and share adventures with friends and family using BaseCamp. fēnix is equipped with both ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart capabilities to wirelessly share locations, routes and geocaches.

ALTIMETER, BAROMETER AND COMPASS


fēnix 3 is equipped with ABC sensors to provide relevant real-time information. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not.

fēnix 3 auto-calibrates its ABC sensors using its GPS receiver and also auto sets the time based on location. For an extremely accurate temperature reading, pair it with our tempe external temperature sensor.

CONNECT IQ
fēnix 3 uses the ConnectIQ platform for specialized software so you can personalize your watch with apps, widgets, data fields and unique watch faces that make your Garmin smartwatch even smarter.

STAY CONNECTED
Smart Notifications lets you receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch, even if you're on the trail. fēnix 3 receives the wireless signal from a compatible iPhone 4s or Android smartphone and let’s you know you have a message, displaying the text on its own screen whenever you’re ready to read it.

In the Box:

 * fēnix 3 - gray watch with black band
 * USB charging/data cable
 * AC adapter
 * Quick start manual

 The Fenix has fit that purpose ideally. At the time of purchase, I had no idea that it would sync via Wi-Fi. And this is a huge benefit as I have a Verizon MiFi. So now when I’m out and complete an activity, I can power up the MiFi and have the activity sync with that

 I tested starting from the street level walking up to the seventh floor, my office level, and it was spot on.  The compass is what pushed me to the Fenix 3 over the Vivoactive HR model. The Fenix has a magnetic compass whereas the Vivoactive is GPS based. Not everyone understands that there is a true north and magnetic north

 And this is a huge benefit as I have a Verizon MiFi. So now when I’m out and complete an activity, I can power up the MiFi and have the activity sync with that. It’s smaller, lighter and the battery lasts a lot longer because it’s not powering a huge color screen. Not to mention it has a 4,000 mAh battery, weighs just under 5 ounces, and can charge the Fenix itself

 One day at the gym while riding a stationary bike, I checked the hand based monitor against the Fenix. Both measured the exact same BPM rate. I then counted against a clock and my BPM matched what the Fenix was reporting. I also have a Tickr chest strap, which I have not yet paired or checked against the Fenix

Love this thing!

Super sturdy and great battery life. If not using GPS for a run or bike ride, battery lasts a week. Not as smart as a Samsung watch or as flashy, but fits the bill if the running/trekking/sports metrics are important to you.

Mi band 4 does everything I need.  Notifications, music playback control, heart rate, activity, and sleep tracking plus it has 14 day+ battery life.

Samsung  Galaxy Watch Active 2 works well with Android phones for viewing notifications (and sending short replies to messages where appropriate). I also previously used a Galaxy Sport (until it broke). 

Only problem is, the ECG (electrocardiogram heart monitor) on newer Galaxy watches may not work with non-Samsung phones, which is an inane decision on Samsung's part. This has been the case for months, and still no word on when the feature will be enabled for all Android phones.

You can use Samsung Watches with any Android phone. But you have to download the Samsung Gear app and a couple of plugins from the Play Store. Navigate their collection as you see fit.

But I've personally been using a Fossil Gen 5 Carlisle since the 4XL's launch. The battery life could be a tad bit better, but it's reasonably customizable enough to really dial in what features you want to disable/enable. The proprietary charger is dumb though. They need to move to Qi/Wireless Charging in their next iteration.

Overall, a good watch that I'm perfectly happy with. It does all that I need it to do (payments, fitness tracking, notifications, etc) with good performance on the whole. But I do know that the Snapdragon Wear 4100 in newer WearOS watches is a considerable leap over the 2100/3100 it replaces. 

Anything in the Fossil Gen 5 range should do you well enough. But TicWatch Pro 3 has the newer SD Wear 4100. Samsung's watches have really came into their own, but I'm not overly sure how you feel about babying 2 software ecosystems. If I could do it over again, I'd probably buy the Skagen Falster 3.
