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

 Hi I'm Lionel, this is Techloto and this is my review video for the Polar Vantage V2. I'll also be covering why I think it's absolutely necessary to have the Polar H10 heart rate monitor and it's that time again where I'll be doing a giveaway so stick to the end of this video to find out more about the Polar Unite giveaway. So the Polar Vantage V2 was released in October 2020 and practically after the first day of it being released people are already putting out reviews all over YouTube but this is my review after actually using it for two months. I've really tested this watch, I've taken it on four hour long walks just to see will the battery die after a while, will the data start to change up after a really long run or a really long walk

 So let's navigate through the watch and look at it's features, whether you're using the touch screen to scroll to the side or you're using the buttons the first thing you'll see is the activity section and on the activity section there's a percentage dial around the watch that lets you know whether you've reached your activity target for the day, I like that this isn't just based on steps but this is actually based on the amount of activity you've done during the day so that takes into account everything that you're doing, so if you have a day where you haven't had the chance to actually walk a lot but you've just had a good exercise session then your activity will reflect that, it's more about your heart rate and your calories burned and to see a bit more detail you can either tap the screen or press the red button on the right hand side, again you see your activity percentage but you'll also see your steps and you'll see your calories burned. I also like the fact that it gives you your active time, it would be great if they could get something on the watch that shows you what time of the day you were active, so that would give you a bit more of an encouragement to rest a little bit but maybe go out and plan your exercise a bit later in the day, that's the only problem that I have with that activity section but apart from that it's simple and it gives you a snapshot of what your day's been like. The next thing you see is our old friend the cardio load status, what the Polar Vantage V2 does is it records your activity over 28 days so that means you'll have the tolerance of what you're able to handle based on the last 28 days that's been recorded and you'll also have your strain that means what you currently do into your body with the exercises that you're doing. Based on these two numbers it'll be able to tell you whether you're detraining, maintaining your fitness, being productive or overtraining

Polar Vantage V2 Review with Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor and Polar Unite Giveaway︱techloto

 So I was expecting to see some improvement when I was comparing this watch to another watch like the Polar Grit X, but that was not the case. I typically get very good GPS signals from something like the Garmin Forerunner 745 and you can see here in this map data here that we're comparing the Polar Vantage V, which is kind of this dark red color, with the Garmin 745 in purple and then also the Garmin 945. And to me, I actually notice that the Polar Vantage V tends to kind of stray a little bit off the trail and really, you know, while the distance and everything like that is very accurate, I found that the Vantage V just isn't as accurate as I was expecting after hearing about some of the improvements that they made with that particular GPS antenna. So the really, the only thing it's just making me feel a bit more guilty about skipping those workouts

 And when we do the giveaway, I'll give you guys the option of picking between this white one and another black version of the same watch. Now I found the GPS accuracy to be accurate enough. One of the features of this watch is how they've incorporated the GPS antenna into the aluminum watch body. That should provide a better signal

 But the last annoyance that I have with this Polar Vantage V2 would be the price. This watch comes in right at $500, which I still think is really expensive for a triathlon watch. I know that a lot of triathlon watches have kind of, you know, honed in on this $500 range, but I'd still love to see more options in that kind of sub $300 range. OK, I do appreciate you guys have stuck around through this video

 And then they'll provide the user with kind of a ton of different metrics and a breakdown of when you used each stroke. I would definitely go check them out and just copy what they're doing, sort of, you know, you have to come up with your own algorithm. But the last annoyance that I have with this Polar Vantage V2 would be the price. This watch comes in right at $500, which I still think is really expensive for a triathlon watch

Polar Vantage V2 Review After 100 Days

Good interface. God's size and as far as I can tell tracks sleep, fitness and activities accurately. Good amount of sport/exercise profile sto choose from and gives an informative breakdown of you activities.

Great fitness tracker

 So the way it works is you just dive into the menus right here, and you go down to tests, and this is part of the new testing suite there. And you'll see like orthostatic test is from the past, leg recovery test, we'll talk about it in just a second, same with cycling test, and then running test. And the way it works is we'll go just to start, just to get right into it. And it's gonna tell you it's gonna do a warmup of about 10 minutes, zones one to three

 Anyways, don't forget my full in-depth written review on the site there. Also, I've got a video where I walk through the entire user interface hands-on that should be posting in the next day or so, so just look at that in the corner there. It should be up there sooner or later. If you found this video useful or interesting or something like that, simply whack that like button at the bottom there, or hit the subscribe button for more sports technology goodness coming up here

 Okay, so accuracy all covered. Where do I stand on this watch? And you know, this is a nice, modest upgrade. It's not a big upgrade. It's not like shooting for the stars

 Now the Vantage V2, as the name implies, is the second edition of the Vantage series. You remember early this year, Polar announced the Grit X, which was sort of like a Vantage V2, and you'll see in just a moment, it's a lot like a Vantage V2, except it's designed more towards the hiking, outdoorsy type crowd, whereas the Vantage series is designed more for the endurance athletes. Now unlike the first time they announced the Vantage series two years ago, there is no Vantage M2, at least not right now anyway, it's just the Vantage V, the upper end of that series. Now what I'm gonna do in this video is go through nine brand new things on the Vantage V2, and all these things are really on the Vantage V2 itself, as opposed to things that came from the Grit X
