Awesome Watch
I have had my Fenix 7 Solar about 3 weeks now and I am totally enjoying it. It is packed with features that lend to my overall training and monitoring of my body health. Prior With the Fenix 7 there is so much more and it will take me some time to fully use and appreciate. The GPS function is so much better and the wrist HRM is excellent. I also like the Morning Summary when I first wake up. It tells me the quality of my sleep and also my training readiness. Great features. Thank you Garmin for a quality GPS watch packed with great features that will continue to help me advance in my training and fitness levels.

Nice Change from Apple!!
I was recomended a Garmin watch when my Apple Watch screen cracked. I was reluctant at first but decided to give it a try, mostly because the Garmin was the same price as the repair of my screen. I have been wearing it for over a month and it has proven to be amazing. Firstly the battery life blows away my old watch. Instead of charging every night I have only charged it twice, my initial charge and once after over 3 weeks! It took some getting used to for running but all I can say about this is, I'm more than pleased! The screen has many ways to customize but I really like The Glance watch face. It is customizable and works well for what I want to see at a glance.

Easy to Like
For the most part, I love the Instinct. I only rated it down a few points because I really wanted something with music, but didn't want to spend the extra for the Fenix and the Forerunner doesn't come in an S size, which I absolutely need as a 5'0, slender wristed person. The app compatibility hasn't been the most intuitive, but I could probably troubleshoot a bit more. The case is definitely on the chunky side, but it also feels indestructible. Battery is phenomenal, GPS is perfect, and while I don't use it to surf, it's nice to wear in a lake/pool/shower without having to worry about it.

Garmin inaccuracy
Been using this for a month now.here are my observations:
1. Step counter keeps counting when driving.
2.sleep logs inaccurate-i am a long time user of Amazfit and Amazfit is better at detecting sleep and naps while Fenix 7 log sleeps only. Fenix 7 starts logging sleep within the time frame you set your sleep schedule even when you are still awake.
3. Bluetooth connection to phone keeps disconnecting even when phone is in close proximity.
4.battery lasts 10 days with everything on.i work and move all day. So step counter and heart rate is always active.

One of the most used products I own!
I've worn my Garmin Instinct for years. In 2022, I had some significant blood clots that sent me to the ICU. My main symptoms were shortness of breath and increased heart rate. Once I was out of the hospital, the Instinct served as my reference point for how my body was recovering, especially with heart rate. It was incredibly accurate - always within a few beats per minute of what doctors would tell me. I used my Garmin Instinct to track my heart rate through my recovery and ended up logging a few hundred miles on trails that summer. I've found the maps, heart rate and step count to all be incredibly accurate. Now that I've fully recovered, I continue to wear this watch daily to track overall fitness, hikes, ski tours, etc. I'd highly recommend it!

Great watch - poor lighting.
Bought it about six weeks ago. Great battery life (always a problem with the Fitbit Charge 5 I had) and the apps are adequate - though not as intuitive as the Fitbit apps. Probably just my getting used to it. The screen is hard to see in the daytime if out doors but workable. It is a substantially sized watch that let me decide to forego using my Seiko Divers watch which I’ve had forever - my third in 50 years. A little more work on the software (I’m sure they are going to have upgrades (?) to make it a smoother experience.

Perfect for triathlete, Battery & Auto-Transitions
Me gusta todo. Tambien tiene seguimiento de la salud. Pero su fuerte son temas de rendimiento para el deporte.
Para el seguimiento del rendimiento deportivo es perfecto. La precisión del GPS me encanta , hago entrenamientos de varios deportes centrándome en el Triatlón y va de maravillas , hace un día probé la detección automática de transiciones en distancia Sprint y fué espectacular.. Sinceramente casi me compro un Coros y tuve mis dudas pero luego de ver que varios compañeros con Coros tuvieron un seguimiento algo loco en la natación, mi Fenix lo hizo perfecto . Encantado.
Nota: tambien tengo un amigo con un Garmin 165 que le hizo mal el trazo de la natación.
LO RECOMIENDO PARA TRIATLÓN, RUNNING, CICLISMO, NATACIÓN EN PISCINAS Y AGUAS ABIERTAS , EXPEDICIONES (LA BATERÍA ES UNA PASADA).

So many features but wave count needs improvement
I love this watch! It tracks so many aspects of my health AND it connects to my phone so I can get meeting reminders, emails, and text messages even while I'm in the water. The wave counter in the Surf mode is not very accurate though. It's littered with false positives and false negatives. I also like how the watch tracks my sleep quality and duration, which is something I struggle with. It's good to see the body battery too so I can better manage how I use my finite energy for the day.
