Garmin Fenix 7 Pro

Since the first version of the Garmin Fenix series in 2012, there are already 7 editions of this multisport GPS watch to achieve maximum performance in every training session and in every race. Now, the American brand goes one step further in its premium proposals for the most demanding athletes, and presents the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro version with solar charging. This new sports watch is also accompanied by another top-of-the-range device, the Garmin Epix Pro.

Its slogan is a statement of intent: "All day, every day", this new Garmin Fenix 7 Pro GPS sports watch has all the advanced training features to take you to the next level in your progression as a runner either on the asphalt, or in mountain terrain. You decide! Although, of course, it has other plus points such as its battery life of up to 37 days, thanks to that solar charging that comes from the hand of the Power Glass system.

What are the main new features of the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro?

Putting in context this new release of the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro you must be clear that two versions are available: Solar and Sapphire, and with three different sizes (41, 47 and 51mm.), which refer to the millimeters of their circumferences. This is:

• Garmin Fenix 7S Pro 41 mm.
• Garmin Fenix 7 Pro 47 mm.
• Garmin Fenix 7X Pro of 51 mm.

Entering fully into the novelties that brings with it this Garmin Solar Fenix 7 Pro, we must highlight the following points. Some points that are common for both versions (Solar and Sapphire) and for its three different sizes.

• Slope and resistance score widget (running and trail running). It helps you to evaluate your performance on slopes, and putting the focus on both endurance and strength. To do this, the watch' software considers your VOmax2 as well as the volume of your workloads.
• LED flashlight, which applies strobe mode so you can adapt the lighting to your movement and running form, and have the ability to see and be seen, because variable light intensities and the red safety light 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.

But there is still more, this Garmin Solar Fenix 7 Pro also includes a new 5 generation sensor, which favors a more accurate measurement of your training parameters, with 6 led lights (orange and green) and up to 4 electrodes. It also improves the pulse oximeter function, which tracks blood oxygen saturation.

On the other hand, it is also important to emphasize that all sizes of the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro include multiband GPS, which highlights a better and more accurate positioning.
