Main new features of the Fenix 7 Pro range

Some points that are common to both versions (Solar and Sapphire) and to its three different sizes.

• Slope and endurance score (running and trail running). It helps you to evaluate your performance on slopes, and puts the focus on both endurance and strength. To do this, the watch software takes into account your VO2max as well as the volume of your workloads.
• LED flashlight: apply strobe mode to adapt the lighting to your movement and running form, so you have the ability to see and be seen, because you will have variable light intensities and the red safety light to improve your visibility while running in poor light conditions. It also includes the red safety light.
• New additional preloaded activities: There are many more, but, for example, paddle tennis and obstacle courses are available. As well as team sports such as basketball or soccer.

We must emphasise that all sizes of the Garmin Fénix 7 Pro Sapphire have multiband GPS, which highlights a better and more accurate positioning in addition to incorporating pre-installed maps to easily follow our route through the mountains.

The Sapphire range of the Garmin Fénix 7 Pro are watches with premium materials that, depending on the version, are intended for the most demanding athletes and who want to wear the American brand's best watches on their wrist.
