Garmin Fenix 7 Solar

The latest Garmin fēnix makes it easier to stay in touch with how you train. The touchscreen on the fēnix 7 lets you choose between tapping, swiping or tried-and-true buttons. An efficient solar panel could make charging a thing of the past. These watches blend smartwatch functionality with advanced heart rate-based training tools and a backcountry GPS. Onboard sensors breakdown every movement, comparing it to how often and how hard you train, how you rest, and even where you train – factoring in altitude and temperature. The data lets you map the evolution of your fitness, from stamina improvements to recovery times. And when synced to the free Connect app on your phone, you can download training plans, review activities, stream music, receive texts, social media alerts and emails, track weather and more.
