You often hear the phrase "the Swiss Army knife of X" referring to a product that does lots of things really well - and the Fenix 7 definitely fits that description. You'll struggle to find a better wrist-worn fitness coach.

Excellent battery life; Touchscreen is a useful addition; Plethora of workout modes; Really solid build quality;

Expensive; Garmin Pay not widely support by UK banks yet;

Outstanding battery life ; Excellent durability; Offline mapping;

The Fenix 7 is Garmin's most advanced multi-sports watch to date, but its new training tools have been carefully designed to make them accessible to a wider range of athletes. Stats such as stamina and training load are presented in a way that's simple to interpret, and clearly show the effects of this week's workouts on your longer term fitness. The new touchscreen is a bonus for browsing through menus, though fans of the Fenix series' five-button navigation can choose to disable it and stick with what they know. Battery life has received a big boost with no added weight, and mapping tools are greatly enhanced. The only conspicuous absence is a microphone for using your phone's voice assistant and taking calls, but hopefully that will come in a future Fenix 7 Plus edition.

Accessible new training tools; Superb navigation apps; Extra-tough design; ;

Low-contrast display; No mic for hands-free calls; Costs more than Fenix 6
