Everything You Need to Know about Garmin Fenix 7 Pro
The Garmin Fenix 7 Pro is an upgrade to its predecessor, the Fenix 7, and has made some noteworthy enhancements. Despite these improvements, the watch retains the core features that made the original popular. The device boasts updated sensor arrays, new workout profiles, and Score features. One particularly notable addition is a bright LED flashlight. The device also has a solar charging feature that extends battery life, and it introduces new Hill and Endurance Scorers. However, it has been noted that the screen is still dim compared to AMOLED, and the price is on the higher end, even for the smallest model, the 42mm 7S Pro.
The Fenix 7 Pro comes in three sizes: 42mm (7S Pro, denoting ‘small’), 47mm (7 Pro), and 51mm (7X Pro). The 42mm and 47mm models are priced at $799.99 / £749.99 / AU$1,349.00, while the 51mm model is priced higher at $899.99 / £829.99 / AU$1,529.00. The premium for the larger sizes is justified by more screen real estate and increased battery life. The battery life for the 42mm model is 14 days (or 46 hours GPS with solar), for the 47mm model is 22 days (or 73 hours GPS with solar), and for the 51mm model, it’s an impressive 37 days (or 122 hours GPS with solar).
In terms of design, the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro resembles the original Fenix 7 with its classic five-button configuration. The 42mm model (7S Pro) has a slightly different design due to its smaller size, lacking visible screws attaching the bezel to the case, and comes in an attractive gold-white colorway, which gives it a more elegant look compared to typical outdoor watches.
