The fenix 7 was designed for individuals with active outdoor lifestyles, and comes packed with Garmin exclusive features to give you the most out of your workout or activity. To ensure high performance in the worst possible conditions, the fenix 7 was tested to meet U.S. Military standards for thermal, shock, and water resistance. The controls are composed of a push-button and touchscreen combination – allowing for quick, responsive access in virtually any environment. The fenix 7X also has additional features such as an integrated solar panel to greatly extend runtime. Other features of the fenix 7 include a wide array of biometric sensors to monitor your body’s performance throughout the day. These sensors track heart rate, oxygen absorption, stress levels, hydration, and respiration. For the activities that take you off the beaten path, the fenix 7 comes standard with advanced navigational apps. Multi-GNSS support provides access to GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems for better navigational accuracy than GPS alone. In addition, the fenix 7 comes pre-loaded with sport and outdoor themed apps such as Backcountry Ski apps, Climbing apps, and animated workouts.
