It’s got better GPS and solar charging, but the best part is it’s comfortable
WhileWhile multisport smartwatches are the best option for training or outdoor activity, I often don’t enjoy using them. I’m a small person with tiny wrists, and rugged fitness watches tend to be bulky behemoths. They snag on jacket sleeves, irritate my skin, and distract me during workouts. I’ve woken up in the middle of the night to rip them off and had to re-do tests because bad fits led to inaccurate data. So I was genuinely surprised when these problems evaporated into thin air while testing the surprisingly wearable $899.99 Garmin Fenix 7S Sapphire Solar. If all smartwatches came in multiple sizes, perhaps people would have an easier time finding one they actually like.
Fit is an underrated factor when picking a smartwatch. It’s easy (and more fun) to get carried away poring over features, aesthetics, and performance. Garmin stands out as one of the few companies that offer oodles of options for each product line. Seriously, there are 16 watches in the Fenix 7 lineup. The 7S is the smallest at 42mm, while the 7 measures 47mm, and the 7X is a whopping 51mm. Not only does the Fenix 7 series come in three sizes, but you can also opt for standard, Solar, or Sapphire Solar versions with more premium materials. Style-wise, they all come in a wide range of colors to suit different aesthetics.
