    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 So basically they are selling a thousand dollar watch without telling the consumer if the Fenix 7x is using an outdated processor.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???

And it actually fits better and feels sleeker in a weird way, just where the lugs reach or something. So I think the 7X would be doable. But no regrets, the Fenix display is still awesome 👍

    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)

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.

    Just ordered a Fenix 7x with about 25% and coming from a Delta im selling for 500$CAD and im really going to miss the more rugged design of the delta. Really hope they come out with a Echo soon and hopefully I can get a good resell price on the 7x since I got on discount

    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.
