The Garmin Fenix 7 is a great watch with excellent tracking capabilities and a transflective screen that looks like a normal watch indoors. It has an impressive battery life, customizable watch faces, and supports Asian languages. However, it can be difficult to start and stop activities, the maps cannot be zoomed in on, and navigating the device can be unintuitive.

Verdict

The Garmin Fenix 6s Pro is a well-made and reliable smartwatch that offers a longer battery life, message/notification functionality, and the ability to track workouts. It also allows users to store audiobooks on their watch, which is a great feature for those who don't like carrying their phone everywhere. However, some users have reported issues with the supporting software and battery life compared to other models.

Battery Life

Perfect, except the music player

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

Exceeded my expectations

I really dislike carrying my phone everywhere, so this was a must. While other Garmin models also offer this feature, what made me buy the Fenix was battery life, button control (I dislike touch screens on watches) and the solid feel of the watch. Not to mention the default watch face is gorgeous. I also like the ability to customize power modes or to put it into power saving mode very quickly

Price

very overpriced for the quality

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

Only Buy if You Really Need All the Options

I'd I want to use it effectively I have to actually watch my watch face to tell me when to breath, hold breath, etc, kind of defeating the whole purpose of the exercise which is to focus on breathing. Again, this wouldn't be that concerning if I hadn't spent so much money on this. When I purchased this device it was with the understanding that the premium price that I was paying was for THE smart/activity tracking experience to end all experiences. On cheaper devices these inconsistencies would be overlooked but at this price point it's unacceptable
