Garmin fenix 7 Solar
Features
The Garmin fenix 7 Solar has the latest technologies to let you track your workouts, help you perform better and harness the power of sunlight for more battery life.
The fenix 7 Solar has all of the same great features as the fenix 7, but it has the additional benefit of Power Glass™, which has the ability to convert sunlight into battery life. Garmin has redesigned their solar panel to both increase the surface area and the efficiency to give you more battery life than the fenix 6 Pro Solar Edition.
The updated and ultratough design features a 1.3” display that is tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance. The new fenix 7 Solar features both trusted button controls that work in any environment and a responsive touchscreen interface, so you can quickly and reliably access your selections.
Downloadable topographical maps and navigation sensors help you track your runs better than ever before, so getting lost is a thing of the past. You can access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) that give you the most accurate readings and can track your run in more challenging environments than GPS alone.
The fenix 7 Solar tracks pretty much everything you can think of during your runs, including pace, distance, heat and altitude adjusted VO2 Max, heart rate, trail running adjustment, recovery advisor, real-time stamina data, and other advanced training metrics.
There are also some great features on the fenix 7 Solar to help you race. A visual race predictor gives you an estimate of what your pace could be for the distance you want to run based on your past performances. Garmin also developed PacePro™, which keeps you on pace during your race with grade-adjusted guidance. Plus, the “Up Ahead” feature shows you selected map or course information for what’s coming up ahead, including aid stations, upcoming distance/elevation, and key trail points.
The fenix 7 Solar has all of the great features you know and love from Garmin. Smart notifications appear on the phone, so you will always get a text message or alerts. You can listen to your music with 16GB of storage, and WiFi connectivity, Garmin Pay, and the battery life in the fenix 7 Solar is great to tackle even all-day adventures.
