Is it worth upgrading to the Fenix 7 Pro?
The addition of the LED flashlight, mutli-band dual frequency GNSS support (which really is
class leading GPS accuracy), the new optical HR sensor, extra memory and extra battery life
may mean that some will make the leap and upgrade to the Fenix 7 PRO while others will be happy to
ride it out and wait for the Fenix 8 sometime in the not too distant future.
The new features such as Hill Score and Endurance Score metrics and other additional data points
will be made available to existing Fenix 7 via a software upgrade in due course.
Does the Fenix 7 Pro have ECG and skin temperature monitoring?
At present neither ECG nor skin temperature monitoring is available on the Fenix 7 PRO. That being said, the new optical HR sensor hardware
on the Fenix 7 PRO makes the watch 'ECG-ready' as it is capable of providing both but Garmin is waiting
for FDA certification before it can switch these on. Garmin will not provide any launch dates until
FDA approval is received.
The existing
Fenix 7 watches do not have the most recent optical HR sensor so will never be capable of ECG monitoring.
What are the differences between the Fenix 7 PRO and Epix PRO?
With the launch of the three new sizes on the Epix PRO, the only two remaining major differences between the watches are display type and battery life. The Fenix 7 PRO has a MIP (memory-in-pixel) display while the Epix has the AMOLED display. It really is down to personal preference rather than one being better over the other, some love the clarity of the AMOLED display while others prefer the unobtrusiveness of the MIP display. With regards battery life, the solar charging feature of the Fenix 7 Pro along with the MIP display gives the watch a clear lead over the Epix but at the same time both watches have impressive battery life. If it is long battery life that you are after than the Fenix 7 PRO is the watch to go for.
