Hey Jabber Tech thanks for the review. I have something I want to share with everyone please. And I appreciate your feedback. I was trying to find information about which processor is used in the Fenix 7x because I want to know if it has been upgraded from the Fenix 6X. I couldn't find any info about the processor Garmin is using so I contacted Garmin to get some info. Garmin told me they do not release information about which processor they use. So basically they are selling a thousand dollar watch without telling the consumer if the Fenix 7x is using an outdated processor. This is like buying a car, high end smartphone or computer without knowing what is powering it. Garmin was dismissive about my inquiries and I am no longer interested in buying any of their products. Imagine buying a $1000 watch with ZERO information on the processor???

Thanks dude. Really considering investing in the top of the line one. You're right about not cheaping out when it comes to this tool. But I feel like in a couple years, all of the Fenixes will be moving to OLED too like the Epic. And I want it to last a long time! Decisions

Love the video and all the good detailed information! Would you say a used Fenix 7x sapphire solar for around $600 is worth it today? Im looking at these and find them bery useful.
I have the 6X sapphire & debated about upgrading to the 7X, but the price was a bit high. Some weeks later I saw the 7X advertised with a 30day money back return, so I got one. I ended up returning it after 3wks. There were some cool features I liked such as the touch screen and updated look. But honestly, not worth the extra expense of upgrading from the 6X for just a few tweaks. I've had the 6X for a few years without any issues apart from replacing the rubber wrist band. (I think salt water deteriorates it)

I made several test and the battery with a mild usage does not last more than 14 days. So... I would be happy if Garmin decided to be back as it was... A trustable brand with clean description. Honestly I would be happy to have a fenix 7x with 2 weeks of battery life but it does not make happy being tricked inside the illusion it can last 4 weeks... We are not idiots and after few weeks we can understand if what they claim is real or not.

The thing that no one talks about the Garmin ecosystem. The watch is great it measures everything stress calories Hr respiration sleep pattern distance movements even oxygen level if you trust the reading of course.... all sounds good and it is until you reach 50 years old and then the watch starts to become an obstacle to your training pattern. I am 50 years old I can run 5k in 25 min 10k in 56 min I do weight lifting since i am 23 years old and i practice boxing. All a sudden my watch start to give me ridiculous recovery time. Like for example today I burn 500 calories in a very light gym workout and the watch tells me to recover 58 hours. Might as just cancel all my sports activities. So keep this in mind if you are about the buy a Garmin. Seriously considering stopping using it if it's to make me feel I over train for with the lightest workout. I am wondering if people have noticed similar issues.
I just got this Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar for $765 brand new with a coupon. Coming from a Fenix 6 Pro. Was about to get the Epix2X but thought it would be nice to have that flashlight 🔦 just in case I forgot my Fenix HM65R-T headlamp at 🏡. Fénix Disciples.
Looks like minor improvements. Nothing huge, if I could swap for my Fenix 6x pro sapphire I would but I wouldn't put in more to get the touch screen

If you have tattoo on your watch wearing hand.. don't buy a new garmin, before you try, if the wrist heart rate sensor works first :) otherwise u can end up with "a new and improved" sports watch, which you can wear only on your untattood hand.
getting this one in the next few days. i'm actually curious to see how much solar i catch with it. it's one of thos gimmicks that probably will not really pay off much, but i just like to have for a neat-factor. in powersaving mode thay claim it could last over a year. (no connectivity, gps, music etc, only a watch face that refreshes once a min) a fusion of the best parts of garmin and apple watch ultra would be a dream tho. but i've never bought into ther apple ecosystem, so this one caught my eye
I habe just purchased fenix7X saphire. Honestly I'm a biit disappointed about 2 things: 1 - the light on the screen even when it is set at maximim level is extremely weak compared to fenix 5 plus 2 - when I press the buttons they sound cheap compared to fenix 3 and fenix 5 plus. Surely. It is a nice device but I was expecting a better quality.
Not even close to the first delay’s sapphire edition delta series best garmim ever made
Can anyone tell me if this watch makes payment via contact less, and about diving with it, behind it it doesn't have a cover that covers where it carries it, so as not to damage it when it's in the water
this watch Fenix 7x or the Epix GEN 2 pro or standard...your thoughts ? they both do golf right ? biggest difference is the screens ? having a hard time choosing which Garmin watch to get....HELP ME ALL...interested in your thoughts....thx,,,,cheers from Canada
how about display of lat/long or MGRS of your exact location?
Do you have a tip for altimeter on fenix7x. Somehow my watch is completely screwed and when ever i start a walk or a run it goes up to 80 meters in the first 100meters of activity and then just slowly goes back down to 0 all the way up to the end of my run or walk, i run and walk flat, no mountains what so ever. Tried resetting it or calibrating both alti as barometer but it just doesn’t work. Paid alot for the fenix 7x but now it is just not functioning anymore
What do you think about the heart rate is accurate And do you like the weight does it feel very heavy or not And quality is better than 6x or the same quality
i REALLY love that 7x solar, but i am not sure about garmin anymore :( my 6x pro just died. i cannot charge it anymore. after like 2 years …
I was about to purchase this fenix 7x but kinda disappointed it doesnt have ECG support. I instead ended getting the huawei watch gt 3 pro which supports ECG functionality and has even an early detection mechanism incase you feel some stiffness.
If It had Wear OS then this would have been THE best smartwatch by all means. So many times I´d want to navigate through cities to a specific restaurant etc. on bike or what ever. Doing all that washout holding on a smartphone is so convenient and handy. So the miss of google assistant and google maps is a disappointment.
Hey bro, nice review! Do you mind sharing your wrist size? In the beginning the watch seem rather large on your wrist but later in the video, with a different strap, it seemed proportionate. What are your thoughts on the size difference between the 7 and the 7x. Thanks!!

The fenix 7x sapphire solar watch has a major drawback, the screen in the menu as well as the messages that arrive when the phone is connected to the watch are set to black background and pale blue text (due to the poor finish of the sapphire glass, there is no white color, but pale blue color) and that text is hard to read. There is no option like on older models of garmin watches to change the background to be white or pale gray and the text to be black, which would be more legible. (Inverter color or display color setting). As soon as you sweat a little around your eyes during activities, you can't see clearly, or if you have a smaller (+ eye diopter) for reading, which most people over 40 have the same problem, you strain to read what is written on the screen. Otherwise, the watch is excellently made, but this problem with the screen and the lack of an option to set the background to be white or gray and the text to be black, which is more pleasant and legible for the eye, makes the garmin fenix 7x sapphire solar watch unusable for many people and if not documents in some software update the watch is a complete and utter failure. I found a lot of the same comments in several forums which says that the problem is not innocuous.
Hello! Unfortunately, I returned my fenix 7x pro solar watch, and I will tell you the reason. It does not record daytime sleep. For example, if I sleep for 2 hours after dinner, it does not record these hours, it considers them as if I were active. From that moment on, what confidence can I have in the health parameters they display? It's a shame, I really liked the watch, but it's a major minus that I couldn't ignore, especially when I'm talking about a gadget of almost 1000 euros.
question, if anyone can help me: if paired with an iPhone, does this phone still tracks your sleep and calculates your body battery. I know that my Instinct lost these features and more when I paired him with an iphone, and sleep and rest is important to me, so I wanted to ask before planing my next phone and watch upgrade. Thank you.

Obsolete is a strong word, I'd say outdated. After 5-6years you'd probably want an upgrade anyways
