Garmin Launches New Fenix 7 Smartwatch

Garmin has launched the Fenix 7 smartwatch, the latest model in the lineup of its best smartwatches for cycling. The Fenix 7 comes with all the features of its predecessor, plus increased battery life and a brand new model that tracks your stamina. Furthermore, an additional model, the Fenix 7X, features a built-in torch providing quick-access hands-free light.

The Fenix 7 is the next generation of Garmin flagship model, a rugged multi-sport smartwatch designed to help its wearer improve their athletic performance. The new model features a touchscreen interface with extra button controls, as well as intuitive topographical maps for off-grid navigation.

The new Fenix 7 comes with all the features of the 6, including the Recovery Time Advisor and Daily Workout Suggestions. The latest addition is the Real-Time Stamina tool, which allows athletes to monitor and track exertion levels during a run or bike activity. This can be used to provide an idea of how much energy is left in the tank, so you know how hard you can push before the finish line.

It also introduces an integrated hands-free multi-LED flashlight with both red and white LEDs for many uses.There are five models: Fenix 7, Fenix 7 Solar, Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar, Fenix 7S Sapphire Solar, and Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar.
