I've had my tactix 7 with AP for over a year now. It's been awesome. I swim, run, hike, shoot, etc and it's been a champ. I learn something new on it every week. Unless you need/want something specific on one of these, the Fenix 7 will suit you very well. I have friends with it and they love it. A few transitioned form the Applewatch equivalent, and won't be going back.

Ordered a black/black Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar for a bargain. Hoping I like it as was originally looking at just the 7 Solar as cheaper and a slightly brighter screen or even the 7S Solar as slightly small and better for my wrist. (Coming from a 245M but used to have a Fenix 3HR Sapphire before that).

Tactix has no DLC coating therefore every eventual scratch can be ironed out due to Titanium's natural oxidation. With DLC coating once you scratched it there is no way to polish it ever again.

@sinepari9160 7 ай бұрын

Actually you can touch it up easily with a sharpie, believe it or not. It just gets a 'battle worn' kind of look which I like. I owned the original Tactix for about 8 years and it only looked better from the very little wear. I now own a Tactix Delta and the coating is even better! Not a single scratch in ~3 years now of very hard use. Also, only the bezel is DLC. The rest of the case is polymer and extremely scratch proof. I can guarantee that by the time it starts to look 'bad' you'll want the latest model :)

Thank you for in depth review!! Can you let us know how long it takes for Fenix 7 Solar Sapphire & Epix gen 2 to charge in full after it has been completely drained? Also can you use both devices while charging with portable battery? And finally if you can charge and use it, does either watches get hot while charging and using the gps? These questions will help me alot to either choose fenix 7x vs epix (gen 2)

@PascalMarquisUnbox 2 жыл бұрын

Charging time will vary depending on what power source you connect it. I would say between 1 and 2 hours for a complete charge but I never seriously calculate it. Yes you can charge it and use it but do not forget that you can't really put it on your wrist as the connection is under the watch. I never felt the watch warm at any moment.

@PascalMarquisUnbox 11 ай бұрын

Most welcome! I'm not a big user of that feature as I carry my phone with me most of the time. But the few time that I tested it was working really well. It's synced with some of my playlist on spotify and it just play it in my headphone without interuption. It just drain the battery a lot faster.

@xelionizer 25 күн бұрын

The fact that Garmin didn't opt to change the bezel on the T7 and make just a little radius/curve to counteract wear on the DLC coat further underlines the fact that this company diligently seeks out ways to make their products unsustainable. I mean, having a business model where you fart out another iteration of a watch every year with only the absolute bare minimum of change says it all IMO. I do enjoy and own a lot of Garmin watches, but I would like to see them giving us more for our money and the sustainability of nature as well.

This was a great thorough review. I actually use the Instinct 2 Solar, but although I do really like the watch, I can't help wondering if I should have spent that bit extra and gone for a Fenix. I love the always on display and solar ability, which is why I would pick a Fenix over an Epix. I don't think anything beats the Instinct Solar for battery life, but with a colour screen, the Fenix does an excellent job. I might sell my Instinct 2 and buy a Fenix? Not sure? I'm being fussy, but then a watch is a very fussy prone item. You wear it all the time, so you must enjoy it functionally and aesthetically. I'm a big fan of Garmin as a company and their wide range of products. I know many Iphone users who won't buy an Apple Watch....instead opting for Garmin with their more rugged watches and far better battery life. It is worth noting, before someone castigates me for this....but Garmin watches are not true smart watches in the strictest sense. They are fitness trackers and multi function watches. I don't think we will have to wait too long though, before Garmin adds music storage and phone calls to their flagship watches. It's already coming in with the Venu 3. Once that happens, Garmin is directly competing with Apple and that will change things quite a lot. It's still valuable to get notifications and know when the phone is ringing on my Instinct 2, but it has it's limits.

@PascalMarquisUnbox 7 ай бұрын

If battery life is the most important to you, you should consider the Enduro 2. It's probably equivalent to your watch. Finally, like you, I don't think garmin watch are smart watch. I see them as navigation tools and fitness tracker. Two completely different world.

@Justyburger 7 ай бұрын

Yes the Enduro 2 looks very tempting. There is a sale on, but it's still quite expensive though. @@PascalMarquisUnbox

@ersins.1941 2 жыл бұрын

An other great video full of details. 2 things: 1. My Tactix 7 (most beautiful and best smart watch ever) has a "Move Alert" to keep you moving. If I am not mistaken you said Garmin doesn't have that. 2. Touching the watch face sections taking you directly to that widget only works with original Garmin watch faces. Not the 3rd party ones and it's a bummer :( One more: if you happen to get about 350k solar charge a day, you don't need to charge your phone at all as long as you just use it as a smart watch, meaning no gps, applied ballistics, fly, etc.

@PascalMarquisUnbox 2 жыл бұрын

1. Thank you I've just found the option thanks to you. I did'nt know it was possible. I will test it. However I don't think there is the inactivity stamp on the callendar that was the main motivation from polar. 😉 So I will probably just ignore it. 2. Yea it's a great feature. Maybe the developer of the watchface can do it. It's a fairly new option.

I just ordered the new 965, which is essentially a Epix Gen 2 in a different form factor ( no metal body) other the bezel. The screen is a little bigger, and has a higher pixel density for even more clarity. KZfaq reviewer Desfit says the maps look amazing! I am not sure if the all metal body in the Epix Gen2 is worth 300 more in cost? What do you think?

@PascalMarquisUnbox Жыл бұрын

I didn't test the 965. I think it's a matter of taste. In theses price ranges I would personally pay more for the titanium case. But that is only a matter of taste there is no good answer. ;)

@mden2490 Жыл бұрын

@@PascalMarquisUnbox I guess you can make the same argument in reverse, for $600 do you want a watch that is essentially plastic? You may want to pay the extra and get an all metal Watch? The 965 does look more like a running watch, and the Epix more like a outdoors/ adventure watch?

@@slangingiron4016 tactix. Just looks better. If you dont care about the looks go for epix. Also looks nice and amoled screen.

Well in it's screen at least. But still it's the tactix and the fenix that remain on my wrist because of the size and the flash light. Actually... Personally, if I only had one to keep it would be the tactix.

One of the features of MIP as I have seen is easy reading in direct sunlight. The AMOLED screens in phones are not that good in sunlight, does Epix do better?

@PascalMarquisUnbox Жыл бұрын

If you don't see it well under sunlight it's because they are not bright enough. That is not the case of the Epix. Really the Epix is the best screen in every situation from middle of a dark night to the sunniest peak in the word.

I wish tactix came in 47mm option that thing looks amazing but its to big for my wrist :(

You should give it a try. I don't have a big wrist neither and it fit super well on me.

I thought I would buy a tactix 7 pro, but I'm really tempted to wait for a larger sized epix2 if that is even in the works. Unless there's a way for the tactix 7 to have an always on moderate brightness backlight. My ideal use for the watch will be during work driving in the city and knowing what cardinal direction I'm headed. Covering an entire beat, or responding to other sectors in the city means needing to know direction of travel at a single glance at my wrist, not flicking or turning my wrist to activate the backlight.

@PascalMarquisUnbox 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dougles. Yea I would love that bigger epix also. But yes you can have a dim back light all the time on the tactix.

Was only due to be recalibrated. I probably had left it off few days so it did not track the atmospherical pressure. Recalibrating is a very quick procedure.
