The Garmin Fenix 7 is for anyone who enjoys competing and wants to push themselves to new limits, whether it's a cycling sportive, a half marathon, an Ironman, or the grueling sweat of a CrossFit competition. The Fenix 7 doesn't assume you've already figured out a whole training schedule and how to balance work and rest — instead, it provides tools to help you analyze your current fitness level, establish a realistic goal, and train in a way that will help you reach it.
It includes the same powerful workout tracking and training tools that helped the Fenix 6 become the best multi-sports watch in 2019, as well as some new features that make it more accessible to new users.
The addition of a touchscreen is the most evident enhancement here. The watch retains the five physical buttons found on prior Fenix watches (including a newly reinforced start button), but it's a tremendous assistance when it comes to panning through maps. However, it's been done with caution; the screen is locked by default during workouts to prevent accidental button presses, and Fenix purists may turn off touch completely if they choose.
