Garmin Fenix 7X after 30 days - Regrets?

I've had the Garmin Fenix 7X for a month now - Am I still happy that I picked it over the 6X or the new Epix 2?

Not much new in this one but answering the questions I keep getting about whether I am happy with my choice - anyone got the 7X and feel the same? Or any skinny latte drinkers out there with an Epix they are loving? 🤣

I really appreciate your no BS approach to letting us know what is what. Very helpful, and entertaining of course!

[mcfly]

Thank you very much. You gave a very well-structured overview of the three watches and always said what YOUR priority is in each point. It was very objective and I didn't have the feeling that it was advertising. I liked it very much.

Mark - this is an awesome video. You are so spot on with your honesty and simplicity with breaking down points and features - what is useful and what is not really. Love love love the humor w straight forward thoughts. And totally with you on jacking up all of the features to get the best, brightest features even if you have to charge ever so slightly more often. Great video all around. Loved the BMW comparison.

One of the most perfect PRACTICAL reviews I've seen. Kudos!

[stevefarrimond]

Love the fact you answered the Question straight away.

Still watched the full video 👍🏻 keep it up

So many people worried about upgrading and here I am still sporting the 5X saphire and original Instinct. They do everything I need as a cycler and hiker.
Great video and lots of useful information.

LOVE THE FACT THAT HE GETS RIGHT INTO IT - NO BS - DIRECT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD

Thanks for the review. You answered the question I most needed, the swipe map feature is exactly what I need coming from a world without this ie., no 6X. Going to go ahead and upgrade at next watch purchase and spend the money for the 7X. Very useful info and loved that you came back months later to answer the questions you are asked. Same thing we all wrestle it worth it or not! Thanks again, and NO - don't sell the kids, but good luck with the watch

Hi from Belize. Love your videos. Thank you very much. I am medium to small built but got myself the 6x in part due to Arnold in your video.

Great video.
Large reason I moved from all the amoled smartwatches I tried to the Fenix 5x was the screen visibility in bright sunlight... Can't beat the Fenix. Plus being the sapphire version I can drive a nail with the thing if I need to without damaging it.

Great honest video Mark, love it, nearly as much as the t shirt.

Currently have the 6 sapphire, think I can wait until the 7 is in the sale.

Keep the videos coming

The 7 is so much more responsive than the 6. I use garmin for many years but I really enjoy the touchscreen for non-activities. More than I‘d have thought. And I have to say that my first thought when I took the 7 out of the box was „wow it looks so much nicer“ and I felt the 6 immediately looked like some ancient tech. I like the new features and the small tweaks to common guy items makes usage way more convenient as well. All in all I love my F7X Solar. Just wish it would integrate better with iOS.

Great review and comparaison. So relevant. You won a new subscriber. Thanks for your work and warm hello from 🇮🇱

[kojo]

Great vid. Love the humour.
Love the real life experience sharing.
Keep it up!

I love how you broke this down. I picked up the Fēnix 6 Pro 2 years ago from the basic 5. I loved the updates and based on this, I will save my money for the newest one when my 6 Pro kicks the bucket. Hopefully not for another two years.

[rockatanescu]

Thank you for your review, Mark. I was looking into buying a Fenix and couldn't decide if I should go for v6 or v7. Since I will most likely never use maps, I ended up buying the much cheaper v6 Sapphire as it's 65% of the price of a new v7 Sapphire. Thanks again!

Nice practical videos, great sense of humour. Like it.
