The Garmin Fenix 6 has been designed as a fitness tracker and training tool, with advanced workout tracking and training tools that make it the best on the market. The touchscreen is a huge help when panning across maps, and the watch retains the five physical buttons found on previous Fenix watches. But it’s been done with care; the screen is locked by default during workouts to prevent accidental button presses.
The Garmin Fenix 7 is a great choice for anyone who wants to push themselves to their limits. It doesn’t assume that you have a full training plan and know how to balance work and recovery – instead, it provides tools to help you understand your current fitness level, set a realistic goal, and train in a way that will help you achieve it.

Garmin’s watches compete primarily with Coros and Suunto. The Vertix 2 from Coros has many of the same features as the Fenix 7 series, but without solar charging. Suunto’s tried-and-true 9 Peak and 9 Baro multisport watches are also all-encompassing multisport watches with significantly lower price tags.
The Fenix 7 line comes in three sizes: 7S (small), 7 (large), and 7X (extra large). All three models have solar charging capabilities, but your size preference will ultimately be one of the most important factors in how much you pay. Each model is available in a variety of colorways, which you can view on Garmin.com. The Fenix 7X is the largest model and it has the most features, including a built-in compass and weather radar. It also has a heart rate monitor and an altimeter.
