Garmin Fenix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar GPS Multisport Watch

For all those who do not want to make any compromises!
Just like its direct predecessor, the GARMIN Fenix 7S Sapphire Solar GPS multisport smartwatch features a responsive touch display for particularly intuitive operation. Of course, the robust outdoor watch can still be controlled in the classic way using the tried and tested 5 buttons. So you can safely leave your gloves on while biking or snowboarding and still use all the functions quickly and easily.
GARMIN’s proven solar technology lengthens the battery life of the high-end sports watch to up to 46 hours in GPS mode and up to 14 days in smartwatch mode.

On the hardware side, GARMIN has first and foremost revised the heart rate sensor. Thanks to wrist-based heart rate measurement with the fifth generation of the GARMIN Elevate™ technology and intelligent training features, you can even achieve your most ambitious goals. In addition, all models of the Fenix 7 Pro series now come with integrated LED torch, which was previously reserved for the 7X.
Yet, the software has been upgraded, too. With the new Hill Score and Endurance Score, you can track your capability for running uphill and your ability to sustain prolonged efforts. Get the most out of every sport and outdoor activity with over 80 apps and navigate reliably to your destination thanks to pre-installed, international maps. Together with smart features like GARMIN Pay™, GARMIN Music™ and many more, the fenix® 7S becomes an outstanding multisport watch of its time.

Like its predecessor, the GARMIN Fenix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar impressively proves that compact design and high performance are not mutually exclusive. It actually has the same features as the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar (prod. code: 2342737), but comes in a lighter, more compact design with a 1.2-inch screen – optimised for athletes with smaller wrists and designed for daily use. It only has a slightly shorter battery life than its bigger sister.


Performance and activities!

• INTEGRATED SPORTS APPS: Use the pre-installed activity profiles for trail running, swimming, walking, cycling, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, surfing, indoor climbing and more.
• SKI AND SPLITBOARD TOURING APP: These activity profiles automatically distinguish between descents and ascents. Start your activity and the smartwatch will record it all day long.
• XC SKI DYNAMICS: When paired with the Garmin HRM-Pro™ chest strap (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise load of your cross-country workouts.
• SURF FUNCTIONS: Wave riders watch out! The fēnix 7 Sapphire Solar is compatible with Surfline Sessions™. This captures a video of every wave that you ride in front of a Surfline®-Kamera. Review these videos afterwards and find out how you surfed.
• MTB DYNAMICS: Save tour details including mountain bike metrics, as well as data about grit and flow. These data are used to determine the trail difficulty and how fluid your riding style is during downhill rides, so that you have a score to beat next time.
• HIIT TRAINING: This activity profile tracks your HIIT workouts (high-intensity interval training workouts), including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set up the number of laps, exercise/recovery intervals and more.
• DAILY TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS: View your daily training recommendations for the whole week. After each running or cycling workout, the information is adjusted or matched to upcoming competitions in your calendar in the Garmin Connect™ app.
• VISUAL RACE PREDICTOR: Based on your running history and overall fitness level, this feature provides an estimate of what your pace could be for the distance you want to run. Trend data shows the impact of your training over time.
• PACEPRO™ TECHNOLOGY: The PacePro function offers a dynamic pace setting based on your route profile and preference for a more moderate or ambitious climb. So you know whether you are going too fast or too slow on your current stretch.
• CLIMBPRO FUNCTION: With the ClimbPro function you’ll get automatic information about the remaining gradient and elevation gain while following a route or stretch going uphill. So you can see what is coming up and better ration your energy for the rest of the tour.
• GRADE-ADJUSTED PACE: For a better estimation of your current effort, this pace value calculates a comparable pace on a flat track based on the current incline. This way you can always see whether you can actually realise your planned performance.
• PERFORMANCE METRICS: Profit from advanced training metrics, running efficiency values, VO2max calculations adjusted to the heat and altitude, and the recovery advisor, to take yourself to a new level.
• REAL-TIME STAMINA: This feature tracks your performance during running or cycling and shows you the available energy you have during physical activities. This helps you optimise your energy consumption during your activity and avoid premature exhaustion.
• RECOVERY ADVISOR: After every training, the watch shows you the time needed to recharge before your next tough training. It is based on the training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activities and sleep.
• COMPETITION WIDGET: Prepare for your next race with training tips, personalised daily suggested workouts and predicted finish times based on track details, weather and performance.
• RUNNING POWER ON THE WRIST: Look at how much power you're putting on the trail or the road. This way you can regulate your effort and train even more efficiently. Accessories are not required.
• HRV STATUS: Gain a better understanding of your overall health, training performance and recovery with heart rate variability while you sleep. The feature is based on technology developed by our Firstbeat Analytics™ team.
• TRAINING CONDITION: With indicators like HRV status (heart rate variability), training log and performance, you get insights into your training habits. That way you know whether you are building up your form during training, are in top form or are tired.
• TRAINING READINESS: From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more. This way, you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard – or take it easy.
