Here's everything you need to know about the Fenix 7 Pro series, including the Fenix 7S, Fenix 7 Pro, and Fenix 7X Pro. Buy the Fenix 7 Pro here (amzn.to/46mAHha), link helps support the channel!
If you wanted a Fenix 7 series device with the flashlight of the Fenix 7X series, you’ve finally got your wish. With the new Fenix 7 Pro series, all three size Fenix 7 Pro units include a flashlight. And atop that, every model now has multiband GNSS/GPS, and every model has 32GB of storage. And every model now has solar. Sure, there’s still the fancier sapphire-crystal models if you want them, but the only difference between the different Fenix 7 Pro series units are the cosmetic/material differences (or battery between sizes), not features or functions internally. In addition to those hardware upgrades, the Fenix 7 Pro series also gains a new optical heart rate sensor package and updated MIP display for better low-light conditions, plus a few new software metrics including a Hill Score and Endurance Score.
Of course, it’s not just the new Fenix 7 Pro series that’s been announced today, but also the new three-sized Epix Pro units as well. These include Garmin’s fancier AMOLED display, as well as also featuring a flashlight across all models. Check out that in-depth review too!

As a more casual user (I like tracking stuff but I'm not a big competitor) it looks like the fancy maps and improved screen clarity are the most tempting. I went with an Instinct 2X recently since I don't currently have a use for the maps, so it's probably not worth me returning this and spending an extra $350 for the fenix 7 pro, but man this looks nice

I really like the new shaded Topo maps, on my 6x pro it can sometimes take a moment to differentiate what im looking at. The shading will go a long way to improving that (and making the digital map line up more with my paper topo maps i carry hiking) I'm also glad they brought the light down to smaller sizes and the Epix, gives more options in the future. I probably won't downsize from an X, but now with the Fenix, Epix and Instinct all available in the larger size with a flashlight my options have expanded significantly. I also like the split Map/data data field now, I can put my elevation and map data on the same page and reduce the count of pages to scroll through while hiking. Nice.

Im always with my phone anyways. To bad the only time id need it would be during activities.

I would coming from a 60g watch to a 70g, thanks
@felixkonradzimmermann6038

7:35 I would guess that it is an rolling average and that with your long activity you lost also an long activity from the history. And with short activity there was maybe only a rest day that fell out of the average. But that’s just me guessing without even having the feature😅 Looking forward to test it on my normal fenix 7

I debated Epix vs Fenix for a long time and decided that I just appreciate long battery life over the display and hope that technology will give me both in a future model.

Is the Compass still wonky, I had my compass loose it’s mind every hour or so, unlike my Instinct gen 1 or forerunner 955 solar, which never lost calibration of compass. I tried multiple units of the fenix including sapphire and all of them had the compass calibration problem, further googling I found that the metal pins that hold the watch to the strap cause this ? Wondering if they fixed this in Pro.

Question! Have you done any tests on how many Amp hours of battery it takes to charge the epix vs the Felix? For a multi-day hike either watch would need to be charged. While I’m not crazy about the extra weight in the backpack to carry a battery pack it would be good to do some math to determine what size battery pack I’d need to keep either watch charged on the trail for a 10-day excursion.
@mattleathen445
@mattleathen445 Год назад
I used my Fenix 5S on a backpacking trip with a small 10,000 mAh battery that had a percentage charge display. Recharging the watch from 10% to100% after an all day gps tracked hike did not reduce the charge display. In contrast, recharging my phone used up 30 to 40%. And this makes sense. The 5S has a battery capacity of just 230mAh. Quick math says I should be able to recharge the watch about 45 times with a small portable battery. Of course I wouldn’t expect that many charges, but it provides more than enough for my 5 or 6 night treks. A small capacity portable battery should fully satisfy your needs.

I have bought last year a Fenix 7 saphire solar and gave away my old Fenix 3 (without the heart rate leds) . But the 7 didn't live up to the expectations. I bought it because they found out that I have a heart disease and I got rhythm disturbances but I didn't feel them although they were severe (they told me). So I bought the best of the best (I thought). It can't show the right heart rate and since januari it isn't showing my sleep score and some other score's right. Heb jij een idee?

As a person who has done some long distant hiking, but not in a race format I would say 34K with 8,000 ft elevation in 8 hours is moving at a serious pace......maybe you are expert level, you just don't know it yet. :-)

To bad they messed up the "auto backlight", I don't need different light levels especially when in brighter environments. I only ever use 5% anyway and I need it to be on when in the dark and off when there is enough light to read the watch with ambient light.

Will this watch tell you the mph you’re running while you’re running or just give you an average pace?

Have you done a test for batterylife when navigating all the time (like in a ultra race)? My experience (Fenix 6x) is that you can pretty mush take the batterylife for "gps only" and divide by 2 if map screen is always on. Would be interesting to see a comparison between Epix Pro (51) and Fenix 7x Pro in that usecase

In the 6.5hr battery test I did (trail running/hiking), it was with navigation enabled on all units, and I was mostly on the ClimbPro screen, with occasional checks of the map screen. Those battery burn rates are in the 'Accuracy' section, comparing specifically the Epix Pro 51 to the Fenix 7X Pro. Surprisingly, a wash at about ~50hrs each (estimated battery burn rate).

I upgraded to the Enduro 2, I wish the Enduro would have had the better backlight MIP display. That to me is the Fenix 7 Pro. Why wouldn't Garmin include a bigger battery in Fenix 7 Pro.
