Alex says: The Garmin Fenix 7X is a GPS watch that offers a wide range of features, including a touchscreen, improved battery life, solar charging, a torch, and some software tweaks. Available in three sizes, the 7X is the largest, making it more comfortable for smaller wrists. The watch comes with a quick-release silicone strap and a titanium construction, making it lightweight, if heavier than other options on the market. The large screen is protected by sapphire crystal.

The Fenix 7X Pro adds a touchscreen, improved battery life, better solar charging, a torch, and some software tweaks. The touchscreen is fluid and makes the interface feel like a phone for navigation, making it a game-changer for scrolling and zooming in maps. The watch can be operated entirely by buttons and has decent mapping with terrain features and most paths marked. Battery life is exceptional, with Garmin claiming 38-578 hours with GPS on, but this is typically 100-200 hours with the heart sensor switched off. The screen now has a more obvious solar border, adding multiple hours to a full charge.
