Here’s pretty much everything you need to know about the upcoming Garmin Fenix 7 lineup

After unveiling its latest “mainstream” alternative to the industry-leading Apple Watch and an affordable new hybrid smartwatch that doesn’t have a lot of direct rivals just last week, Garmin is pretty clearly inching closer to releasing another… few wearable devices.

Enter a “stylish” new design and even longer battery life

It’s perhaps needless to point out that the Fenix 7, 7S, and 7X will not actually look radically different from their predecessors on the outside while also including most of the same internal components.

That being said, it’s certainly impressive to see the upcoming Fenix 7X, for instance, listed as tipping the scales at 68 grams by itself and 98 grams with a “QuickFit” 26mm bracelet included while touting a battery life of up to 28 days in “smart watch mode”, 89 hours in “GPS mode”, and 62 days (!!!) in “Expedition GPS mode.”

The Fenix 7 and 7S will bring similar battery endurance upgrades to the table while more or less retaining the Fenix 6 and 6S weight figures, which was definitely no easy engineering feat.

In case you’re wondering, the overall frame and display sizes are not changing, and neither is the screen resolution of any of the three variants, so if you’re familiar with the measurements of the Fenix 6 series, you’re familiar with the Fenix 7 as well.

All the sensors and “premium multisport” tools in the world

Of course, the professional athletes and outdoor fanatics that will undoubtedly be interested in buying one of these bad boys when they’re eventually released might care more about things like VO2 max, blood oxygen, hydration, respiratory rate, and continuous stress monitoring, not to mention topographical maps, detailed golf course maps, and SkiView maps.

Unsurprisingly, all of that incredibly advanced stuff will be pre-loaded across the board, and on top of everything, the Garmin Fenix 7, 7S, and 7X will also share standalone GPS tracking (well, duh!), PacePro technology for grade-adjusted guidance throughout even your most intense workouts, and a Recovery Assistant that sounds like a new and potentially very useful voice-controlled feature for a lot of future buyers.

Made from “fiber reinforced polymer” and guaranteed to withstand water immersion up to 100 meters, as well as extreme temperatures and various types of shock, the Fenix 7 series is likely to start at the same $550 recommended price in the US as the Fenix 6 lineup, evidently delivering plenty of (outdoor-friendly) bang for your buck.

There’s also the Epix 2 to consider if you’re in the market for a “premium multisport” smartwatch this year, but after Roland Quandt’s earlier leak, this particular product hasn’t revealed its full specifications, which might hint at an announcement further down the line.

The second-gen Garmin Epix is expected to borrow many of the Fenix 7-series features while sporting a super-high-quality AMOLED display rather than an energy-efficient transflective LCD panel, thus looking likely to push the starting price dangerously close to the $1000 mark.
