Quick Tips: Just Opening A New Fenix 7 or Epix?

If you're just about to get a Fenix 7 or Epix, be sure you follow this quick. tip first, else you'll be missing key new features. And, since you paid for them - you might as well get them!

I quickly walk through getting your Fenix 7 or Epix series watch to the current production firmware, which helps ensure you've got all the latest features like phone-based data field configuration and Stamina, which will otherwise be missing.

What is that watch stand/charger that you used in the video?

This tutorial was invaluable. Just upgraded from a Fenix 5S to a 7S. Needed a free afternoon to set up and get used to how it works.

Perfect timing on this video release! My 7x Saph Solar/w Heathered nylon strap is showing up to tomorrow! Puuuumped, though my wallet weeps, but it will give me more motivation and incentive to do the things I love which I have been doing less and less.

Just bought EPIX and this is something very important I came watch you super reviews

[puja]

Wow you are a life safer. I just bought my 900$ fenix 7 and notice the bug or older firmware issues that u have mentioned.. will be upgrading my firmware soon via garmin express once i finished watchin this video...thanks a lot for the wonderful tips

Thank you Ray. Another great video which will help set expectations. Coming from a F5 plus, my epix is really amazing. One key feature which is not mentioned yet is the improved roundtrip calculation time. It calculates for example 3 options for a 10k run (any direction) in less than a minute! And I was still inside doing this. Another example: It calculates 3 options for a 21k run in less than 3 minutes, while the first option is already available after a single minute. That 21k could take forever on a F5 plus.

This is something I've always done with Garmin watches and with most any new device that I get. It's been a habit I've had for years.

I can't wait to get my fenix 7s. Thank you for the information.

Hey Garmin, bring back the HR zones by entering HR not percentages for the Fenix 7.

Super straight forward and excellent explanation of how to do it via computer - so many people don't know this. Great idea. And what watch are you wearing? Is that the I2S?

I got my watch a week ago and i was watching this video and guess what happen in the middle of this video? And update is ready to install. Make me drop my coffee lol

[TONYREYES]

Best bang for the buck is the Garmin D2 Mach 1 shipped in 3 days and epic 2 ships in 5 to 8 weeks and the watch looks better with all the same software and a better looking appearance

[elcoyotte]

Nice info! Hopefully my fenix7 needed the map to be downloaded so… got the firmware 7.24 at the same time 😂

Update over wireless didn’t take long for me on my recently purchased Fenix 7x sapphire

[aabsc]

I was wondering why my new Fenix 7X Pro didn't have the motorcycle or other sports mode I saw online, when I connected it to the Garmin software on my PC it said updates would take 12 hours but like you said as soon as I disconnected the watch it told me the update was ready to install and I now have all the features I had seen online and more.

Cool...i got mine about 10 days ago and it already has 7.24...i guess its fresh out of the oven 😄
