The Fenix 7 Pro Solar is still an advanced training tool packed with deep and useful features. If you're a runner, cyclist, swimmer, or triathlete, the smartwatch provides an analysis of whether you're training effectively or not at the end of every session. You'll also get suggestions on how to improve areas in which you're lacking when connected to the Garmin Connect smartphone app.
For less athletic users, the Fenix 7's health-tracking features give you lots of interesting data too. Metrics such as Sleep Analysis and Body Battery are useful and easy to understand. The watch can also monitor blood oxygen saturation levels (though this does use a lot of battery life when turned on), track your heart rate, step count, and a whole lot more.
Mapping is very good and it's easy to follow routes displayed in full color on the Fenix 7 Pro Solar. You can download area maps directly to the watch using Garmin Connect.
This Pro model gets double the storage capacity of the standard Fenix 7 (32 MB compared to 16 MB), which allows you to store additional maps and music. It comes with a really useful in-built flashlight from an LED that sits on the leading edge of the watch. The torch has four brightness settings, strobe effects, and a red light.
Depending on sunlight intensity and time spent outdoors, solar charging can extend the Fenix 7 Pro Solar's battery life for up to 22 days — four days longer than the non-solar models. For mains recharging, the watch comes with a Garmin port to USB-A cable.
Key features: 47 mm face, water resistance to 10 ATM, touchscreen, solar charging, built-in flashlight, 32 GB storage, weight 79 g.
Product launched: May 2023.
