Faster not only because of the built in coach but the constant info about mile pace helps tremendously.

Much easier to use, while being mor comprehensive.
Tech support recommended the Forerunner 165 to replace my 645. The 165 is much easier to use, while more easily accessing data by swiping up from the home screen the n touching a category to view detailed data. Thanks for listening to my needs and making this thoughful recommendation.

Dense & Durable
New to Garmin and bought my first watch f?nix® 7 Pro - Sapphire Solar Edition.

Did not know what to expect after using an apple watch for years. Made the switch and the Fenix has provided me everything and more. It took a little bit to get used to, but once I figured it out, its an easier device to use than the apple watch.

This device has told me a lot more about myself that the apple watch didn't. It provides a lot of data that I find useful as I train.

This watch is bulkier than the apple watches but has been durable as I am a wreck less person and bump my wrist on everything.

I have enjoyed my purchase and would take the fenix over the apple watch I had any day.

Next hope is Garmin makes a fenix that is dive compatible next.

Excellent running buddy!
I bought my watch about 2 weeks ago. Love it! Amazing features and definitely an upgrade from my Instinct. Fancy AND functional. Only complaint is that there aren't many activity options for an active lifestyle like my own. Still a super watch, thank you Garmin!

Garmin Quality!
Fantastic watch! User friendly, reliable, and most of all comfortable. Personal use, local park runs to Ironmans and everything in between.

Love stats not a fan of not syncing to Rings
This would get a 5 star but I'm transitioning from Apple Watch to this but I don't like how it doesn't sync up all the way with rings, only a few stats per YouTube with the Apple Health app. So, I'd ruin my 4 year streak on Rings if I transitioned all the way to my Garmin Fenix 7 Pro. But, so far loving all the stats compared the my Apple Watch.
