There is a wide variety of watches available from Garmin, ranging from basic health and fitness trackers to high-end, full titanium tool watches that are built for certain activities or sports. Garmin’s watch catalog is extensive. Whether you are interested in a watch designed for a certain activity, such as flying, diving, golf, or anything else in between, there is a strong possibility that Garmin has designed a watch that fits your needs. On the other hand, the Garmin fēnix series is the perfect choice for individuals who are looking for a GPS watch that has a wide range of capabilities and can do a variety of tasks with exceptional proficiency.
In order to evaluate the performance of its most advanced watch in the fÓnix series, Garmin provided us with the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition for a period of testing that spanned the entire summer in the mountains of British Columbia. Among the many features that contribute to the fÓnix 7’s appeal as a GPS watch, its versatility and the seemingly unlimited variety of activities for which it is built are among the most appealing aspects of this watch. Sadly, this is also the reason why it is challenging to provide a review of the FÓnix 7, since the functioning of the watch is highly dependent on the specific use case of each individual wearer and the specific goals that they wish to achieve with the watch.

Where to Get Garmin fēnix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar?
A 1.4-inch trans-reflective memory-in-panel screen is built into the Garmin Fenix 7X Solar. The face looks a lot like the one on some Huami watches, and it’s pretty easy to read when it’s bright outside. That being said, the screen is fine, but I really wish I had something like an OLED screen, especially since it’s not very bright inside, even with the lights on. Garmin really means it when they say that the Fenix 7X can do more than one type of exercise. You can use the watch to keep track of walks, runs, rides, sports, and more. It can even keep track of different kinds of mountain biking, skiing, surfing, swimming, racquet sports, and more. In fact, you can get the different golf layouts as well. The app lets you check for golf courses in your area and download the ones that look good.
We’re getting ahead of ourselves, though. The Garmin Fenix 7X might be the best watch for all kinds of sports right now. It can track and do a lot of things. I also like that it’s very exact and that the Garmin Connect app gives me a lot of information. It’s well-made, accurate, and comes with a lot of exercise tracking options. Extra features, like the solar screen and torch built in, can be very helpful. But since it costs almost a lakh, most of us won’t be able to buy it.
