Garmin Fenix 7 Pro targets serious explorers
Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 6:42PM Garmin has launched the Fenix 7 Pro series, joining the new Epix Pro line. The Fenix 7 Pro series includes solar charging, a powerful LED flashlight, mapping upgrades and a red safety light, all of which are intended to provide greater awareness when training in the dark. The heart rate sensor also got a significant boost, with new optical sensors and sport-specific algorithms that track your pulse rate across a diverse array of activities. However, there is no ECG app, so you'll have to look elsewhere if that's a primary concern.
The Fenix 7 Pro series also introduces a new endurance score and hill score features. The former measures how easy it is to engage in prolonged physical activities, while the latter uses your training data and VO2 Max to gauge your running strength on steep climbs and long ascents. The Fenix 7 Pro boasts an updated mapping system with weather overlays, points of interest and improvements to topographic maps. There are also new preloaded activities like whitewater rafting and motocross. The Fenix 7 Pro is available in multiple sizes and designs, starting at USD 800 (around CAD 1,083).
