Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar Specifications, Features and Price

Description

Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar Full Specifications – The Fenix 7 comes in three sizes; 42mm (Fenix 7S), 47mm (Fenix 7) and 51mm (Fenix 7X), and each of these is available in different models. The Fenix 7X which has the biggest frame size comes in 5 different models which include Fenix 7X Solar (discontinued), Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar, Fenix 7X Pro Solar, Fenix 7X Pro Solar (no-Wi-Fi) and Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar. The Pro models released in May 2023 are the latest models and the most advanced. All 5 models have the same design and features but the Pro models feature ECG, LED flashlight, higher storage capacity and an ambient light sensor that auto regulates the brightness of the display.

The Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar comes in a durable fiber-polymer frame paired with 26mm wide silicone straps that can be swapped if you so wish. Meanwhile, the screen is a premium Sapphire glass material. The watch has 5 physical buttons in addition to a touch-sensitive screen that makes it a lot easier to operate. It also has an LED flashlight that can significantly brighten a dark space. This can come in handy if you choose to train at night.

Like many other Garmin watches, the Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar is rated 10ATM, which means it’s waterproof and can survive water pressure up to 100 meters. Thus, wearing the watch while swimming in the pool or ocean is safe.

Like other Fenix 7 pro models, the Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar has an MIP LCD powering its 1.4 inches display. The display is colorful and easy to read both indoors and outdoors, thanks to the transflective MIP display used on the Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar and older models. The MIP isn’t as colorful as AMOLED but it’s a lot easier to read under direct sunlight. The Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar also has an ambient light sensor that auto-regulates the brightness of the display.

Like the Apple Watch Ultra 2, the Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar has a 32GB storage capacity that will allow you to download music to the watch. The supported music services include Spotify, Amazon Music and Deezer. Music downloaded to the Fenix 7X Pro can be enjoyed by connecting a Bluetooth headphone to the watch.

The Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire also boasts a monster battery life that lets you go long from a single charge. Garmin claims the Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar can go up to 28 days from a single charge, and when Solar is activated, it’s up to 37 days. That’s the longest battery life I have seen for a smartwatch.
