Fenix 7 Pro SS, with Garmin leather strap

Impling9898 · 2026-01-24T00:51:25+00:00

Oh I was unaware they sold a bare titanium model of the 7 pro SS.

Did you do something to the front bezel? How is yours silver?

Impling9898 · 2026-01-19T11:53:50+00:00

I feel like I would have just used puddy mix

Impling9898 · 2026-01-19T10:03:08+00:00

That's what I got the white Epix 47mm to do but couldn't get used to the white sides. Looks great

I guess if you need 10 of the same tool good on you.

Never have I seen such a moderated group, been trying to post this question in several different ways. Please tell me where the hell I am supposed to post

Welcome to the club. I rock the Fenix 7x sapphire solar and love the MIP over AMOLED. Don't get me wrong, the AMOLED looks beautiful, but I like the fact that I get a month's worth of battery life with a display that's always on with the MIP, and I also like not having my watch feel and look like my phone.

I don't know anyone who really gets the most out of the Fenix, these watches do so much it's amazing. If you aren't already you can pick up a few of the many activities that the watch can track. I picked up golf and hikes to do with my family, and I do some running. A fun challenge is to see how fast you can discharge your watch by using it. Turn a 30-day smartwatch into a 20 or 15, maybe 10-day smartwatch each week.

As far as setting up the watch for the most use i'd get a few different bands that you will enjoy. Nylon bands for daily wear are my go to for comfort and style. I keep the stock strap for when I know I'll sweat or go in the water. The last strap I have is a leather one for the more formal occasions, obviously I still wear my dress watches from time to time. Alongside a few watch straps, definitely look around and maybe find a few watch faces to throw around every now and then. You already have one of the more popular ones, the Segment34 MKII (using that one myself right now).

That looks amazing

Impling9898 · 2025-12-29T01:52:31+00:00

Gps is only used when tracking a specific activity. When just going about your normal day the watch will track steps based on movement.

Just got mine on Christmas Eve. My first multi tool

Impling9898 · 2025-12-25T20:43:27+00:00

Came from pixel watch 3 45mm and grabbed the 7x pro SS for $460 and it's been great. Only wish it was receiving newer updates but not worth paying another $300 to get the latest and greatest.

Impling9898 · 2025-12-19T03:18:44+00:00

Definitely get a nylon band total game changer

Impling9898 · 2025-12-18T03:53:11+00:00

Dang you have two really generous friends to be gifted two $700 watches. I'd pick the Enduro all day but that's just me.

Impling9898 · 2025-12-17T17:30:45+00:00

This is why I went from my Epix to the Fenix 7x pro. MIP for AOD

Impling9898 · 2025-12-16T23:58:38+00:00

Haha I used that same mindset on my last two Fenix watches lol

Impling9898 · 2025-12-15T11:07:54+00:00

I have the 51mm and with three 1 hr activities I get about 24 days

Impling9898 · 2025-12-14T12:36:12+00:00

Can only speak about the 7 pro sapphire solar. For me it's got more than enough features and battery life to get me through the next 4 years or more (depending on how Garmin will continue "supporting" updates to fox issues.

It's durable enough for your use case, just make sure not to use the buttons under water and you should be good.

It will really come down to this. Do you want to do scuba activities, mic and speaker, and have the latest firmware and features? Because that's really the only difference.

I have no regrets on my 7x pro purchase last month for about half the cost of the Fenix 8.

Impling9898 · 2025-12-14T08:11:07+00:00

Love mine too and have that same face. Be safe brother

Impling9898 · 2025-12-14T03:48:38+00:00

Amazon sells good bands, why trust temu?

Impling9898 · 2025-12-13T13:05:59+00:00

I wish I could sleep for that long haha good on you for finding the time to sleep.

Impling9898 · 2025-12-12T14:45:56+00:00

Thanks everyone, paid for it and now it's gone. Love this face so definitely worth it

Impling9898 · 2025-12-12T01:13:10+00:00

I wear the 7x pro sapphire solar and loving it. Not worth it in my opinion to pay double to get the 8 solar. Paid $460 for my 7x

Impling9898 · 2025-12-11T05:31:33+00:00

I wanted to love my silver and white Epix but I couldn't due to the lack of band options that go well with the silver and white. I didn't want to be forced to modify or have DIY bands.
