Also to mention 5:52 the phoenix 7x is the only that has the flashlight which is a big plus.

Hey, good video gentlemen! Thanks for your inputs. I'm still torn so perhaps I'll watch a few other of your videos.

Damn it's so hard gauging the size of these from YouTube videos or even close up pics.

I always thought I hated big watches, so I bought the 7s, but it feels too small and I feel like I need to exchange now 😭 but who knows, .maybe I'll think the 7 is too big.

That mineral blue is 🔥🔥 though. Too bad it's impossible to find rn.

Consider that people around world watch this, so please add info in other common metrics too (mm, kg, meters, km, miles).

Are any Fenix 6 watches touch screen or touchscreen were added to the 7s? Thanks

[lecherito]

What size is good for 6inch wrist??
Between 7sVS7

[shoresguy]

I cant decide between the Fenix 7 or 7X Do you guys find the Fenix 7X a little heavy and big for a long distance run? Thanks Dave

[erikofthesaints]

Personal question though. What are your wrist sizes? Mine is 17cm and currently using 6 pro sapphire. I’m confused whether to get 7 or 7x. I like to try the x but it may be too big for my wrist size. Appreciate your inputs 🙂

[johnmanley]

Nice job, guys. How much better is the 7 solar vs the 6 solar? I thought I read that it has a bigger solar panel.

[sshroot]

Does it worth to buy fenix7x sapphire version instead of fenix7x ? The difference are : 32gb, sapphire screen and multi band gps . And you need to pay 100 euro more

Hi Guys, thanks a lot for a your reviews and helping us to choose properly :). I've got for some years FR 935, fantastic watch. I'm just thinking if it's time to move further and change for new Garmin primarily for running. I like your reviews on EPIX 2 and Fenix 7, but still not so easy to make decision. Regarding size, EPIX 2 is the same as Fenix 7, right? and compared to FR 935, are they bigger? Perhaps, like a bit more Epix 2, but really very expensive, but probably worth to invest to quality and have for a years again like FR 935 :)

[Gentle]

What would be the purpose of buying a fenix 7 if the epix is better? is the only perk the extra battery life?

[Sergio_Math]

I went for the 7S solar Sapphire. The size of the x is stupid big. Only an arm like Dwayne Johnson’s would pull it off. Every time I see it in the wild, it looks awful.

[szymonjarzabek]

7x standart doesn't existe only solar and sapphire

[BleakVision]

Well, the best Fenix 7 is still the Fenix 6 Pro. As you will get the full 32GB storage without the drawback of glare on a Sapphire display.
And the benefits of multi band GPS and the stamina feature are questionable at best.
