This may be the most basic Fenix 7 model (there are also Sapphire, X and Solar versions), but this is still an advanced training tool packed with deep and useful features. If you're a runner, cyclist, swimmer, or triathlete, the Fenix 7 provides analysis on 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's large face. You can download area maps directly to the watch using Garmin Connect.
In our tests, battery life in full smartwatch mode was around 18 days, but if you have a heavy training load, you'll need to charge the Fenix 7 more often. The watch comes with a Garmin port to USB-A charging cable.
