I bought my Fenix 7X watch as soon as it came out and was in stock in my local REI store. That’s two years ago! In this video I share my 7 favorite tips & tricks that will help you get the most from your Fenix 7, including the Pro versions. I’ll include how I have set it up, how I use it, and what still annoys me.

Great set of tips many of which I’ve been using on a daily basis. I’ve had my Tactix 7 for almost 2 years and it’s been an excellent watch. Like you I use the flashlight everyday, especially when I wake up and go to bed! Before that I was an Apple Watch user since 2015 but after upgrading to a Garmin I’ve never looked back.

Great video, thanks! All useful tips that I agree with and use regularly. You made the key point right at the top: motivation! Not only do I feel encouraged (nice word) to keep up and intensify my workout routine but also to diversify things. Now, a gym trip seems a bit more 'stale' and I'm more inclined to take full advantage of my watch out on a long bike ride or run outside. Before owning a Garmin, I got my epix Pro (Gen 2) back in December, the normal scheduled gym routine was all I really did.

@@ThisIsJulianC I tried to make the Apple Watch work twice now for hiking and trail running, specifically for training on my first ultra, a shorter 50k. This was with both the original Ultra and most recently the Ultra 2. Battery life aside, which would be ok for that distance, the button-based layout on Garmin is much easier to work with vs a touch screen on most days. Not that Garmin doesn't support touch on newer models, which is handy, but I tend to only use it for maps. The other thing that lacked on the Apple side was turn by turn navigation, which is actually pretty good when using an app like Footpath. That said, it comes with a separate subscription. Love the channel!

@ThisIsJulianC
@ThisIsJulianC 2 месяца назад
I'm with you on the AMOLED - I would upgrade to a Fenix 8 if it came with AMOLED so long as they got an improved battery life over the current Epix Pro. However the 51mm Epix Pro is very similar to the style of the Fenix, so I think there might be a consolidation of the models available. Mrs C has an Epix Gen 2 and that needs charging every few days, I don't think I want to go away from the 2x a month charge cycle I am on now.
@ThisIsJulianC
@ThisIsJulianC 2 месяца назад
@Jay151 Very valid. Garmin has 19 watch series right now, many of which have multiple size and feature options. Many have the same software in them too as you say, which will help with development costs but must be confusing to many consumers. There are still some style differences in the bezel and case design between Epix and Fenix. Those differences get narrower with each update but today I would still choose Fenix over Epix because of them.

YES!!! I'm totally with you. Apple watch makes me think of Starbucks. That's just the target audience for Apple. Many people will follow fads based solely on what they see other people doing and/or what other people have. Very few will actually do research and compare specs and features. I honestly feel that consumers should educate themselves before making purchases. Sadly, few people actually do that. I'm sticking with my Fenix 7 as well!

I changed my Fenix 6 first a forerunner 255 last year and regretted it. It may be more functional but come on. It looks like a 50 dollars watch. Fenix screams quality and is as rugged as it goes. Now I own an Instinct 2 which I love and waiting for the 8th Fenix 🎉. Congratulations for the video.

My Forerunner 935 looks very scuffed and scratched on the bezel and the screen. Even the serial number sticker has disappeared from the back. I used it for four years and there were a number of Ironman events and lots of training in that time so I guess it got used hard, but it started to look bad within the first year. I agree the Forerunners are clearly built firstly to be functional and at a minimal weight so lots of plastic has been used in the design. Two years on and my Fenix 7X still looks (almost) like new.

Just stumbled across your channel. 34 years old two young kids and health and fitness has taken a back seat since covid. Currently desperately trying to get myself back in to it but after i started running again back in October thinking things couldn't have gotten that bad, I was sadly very wrong. I'd gone from sub 40 minute 10k's to almost 30 minute 5k's. So in desperation to get myself back to where i once was i went from zero trainig to running 30 to 35 km a week and im sure you can see where I'm going, a decent bout of tendinitis and groin injury so bad I couldn't fun for 4 month was what I got for my efforts. I'm not outwardly very fat but obviosuly not very fit or healthy. Desk jobs will do that. Anyway for no reason other than I just wanted one I was hell bent on getting myself a fenix 7x but the price was too much, so I settled for the instinct 2x. A fantastic watch does way way more than I could ever need and in some respects it is a fenix 7 without the screen, but the plasticy look has me longing for a fenix again. It looks fine day to day but when i want to me a little more formal itnjust doesnt look very good. At the moment the 7x sapphire solar is avaible for 475 but I like you am 6 foot 2, 97kgs but slim build. My wrist size is 183mm so I worry that the watch may seem too big but also the fact as you've mentioned it wobbles around doing activity. I like to wear my watch 24/7 so heart rate is important to me so I don't want to wear it loose in-between activities. What size wrist do you have, because i feel like it looks great on you. Also having the torch on the instinct 2x, I really don't think I could go for the standard model without the torch. As I say knew to your channel but enjoying the content so far.

@ThisIsJulianC Месяц назад
My wrist is similar sized to yours. If you are unsure try them on your wrist in a store. My local REI had the Fenix 6 in a regular size and 7 in the X size so I could compare them, the X looked way better. If you can't do that, I would get the X size anyway... when it comes to sports watches always go larger...

To remain competitive Garmin needs a built in cellphone. They must realize this by now. The biggest appeal of the Apple Ultra to me is that it is a back up cellular device that I can communicate on if something happens to my phone. Also if I want to go for a run or a hike I can ditch my phone all together and still have a very minimalistic cell device incase of an emergency. I do prefer the ruggedness and battery life of the Garmin but for the vast majority of my use Apple wins.
@ThisIsJulianC
@ThisIsJulianC 4 часа назад
Garmin did have an LTE connected Forerunner watch a few years ago but it has not been a feature added to the most recent versions of Forerunner. I do not believe Garmin would win a direct head to head battle with Apple hence why they are forging a different path. If you want to leave your cellphone behind and remain connected then yes, AWU is probably a better choice. Personally I like having my phone available for the camera while running so I don’t seek out a cellular watch.

I had the Fenix 3HR and didn't really like it, heavy, bulky, the HR sensor stood out on the back, and I found the display poorly lit and not very crisp. I sold it and went back to Forerunners up until the Fenix 7X I have now. If you are on a Fenix 5 and it still works and you are happy with it, I would agree wait until the Fenix 8 comes out, I would guess sometime next year.

No they can’t without the passcode. When you remove it from your wrist the HR sensor detects it has been removed, it will then need your passcode to be able to use Garmin Pay again. If it stays on your wrist it generally only needs a passcode entering once per day regardless of how many times you use Garmin Pay that day.

I am getting an used fenix 7x solar saphire for $250. I am only a beginner runner but I need dual band gps as I am in the city. I thought this was a better deal than getting similar priced or more expensive forerunner watches like forerunner 265. Is this a good deal/idea?
@ThisIsJulianC
@ThisIsJulianC Месяц назад
At that price the Fenix 7X Solar Sapphire is a great deal. The Forerunner 265 has the AMOLED display, which the Fenix does not. It is also lighter and smaller than the Fenix, and has a more understated look. My experience of Forerunner watches is that they tend to show wear much more readily than the recent Fenix models. If you are good with the Fenix MIP display technology and the style of it, assuming the watch you are looking at is in great condition and working order, I would get the Fenix.

I use my HR data from workouts extensively, for the remainder of the day it's a passing interest only, mainly focused on my average resting heart rate for the week.

@ThisIsJulianC
@ThisIsJulianC 2 месяца назад
The solar is a bit of a fun gimmick but Garmin are developing the technology further and we should see more capability with new watch launches. The Instinct 2 can go on forever without ever needing a plug-in charge, but only if you feed it sufficient sunlight every day. If Garmin can do that with a future Fenix that would start to get interesting. As a runner I find the Fenix 7 display to be the clearest and easiest to read of any watch I have used.

@@ThisIsJulianC Let's hope they improve the solar function, if the CASIO mudmaster can do it, I'm sure Garmin can.

My last smart watch, Fitbit Versa, it didn't have any GPS or the torch, I had to recharge it every 3 days. As for the screen, if it was directly under the sunlight, it's perfectly fine. But if it's a cloudy day, I need to adjust my wrist angle to get more light onto the watch face before I can read it, especially if I've to read the map. The torch is a brilliant idea, I cannot live without it, especially the nocturnal pee. It will be Fenix 10 or 11 before upgrading. Let's hope the planned obsolescence for my watch is 10 years plus.

My prediction is that we will see the Fenix 8 in early 2025 but who knows, maybe we see it later this year!

I disagree about the stylish over function. It's an adventure watch and built for adventure vs running.

Fair point. What for you defines adventure and what styling features of Fenix are specific to it.

I think best Garmin’s are the FR965 and Instinct, any Instinct. Cost/functions/build/…

Both good watches. I had a FR 935 prior to the Fenix 7X, big fan of the Forerunners as a triathlete.
