I bought my Fenix 7X watch as soon as it came out and was in stock in my local REI store. That’s two years ago! In this video I share my 7 favorite tips & tricks that will help you get the most from your Fenix 7, including the Pro versions. I’ll include how I have set it up, how I use it, and what still annoys me.

    Great set of tips many of which I’ve been using on a daily basis. I’ve had my Tactix 7 for almost 2 years and it’s been an excellent watch. Like you I use the flashlight everyday, especially when I wake up and go to bed! Before that I was an Apple Watch user since 2015 but after upgrading to a Garmin I’ve never looked back.

    I have had my Fenix7 for about 7 months and love it. I wouldn't be without it. Love it.
  • I got my Garmin Fenix Pro 7 a couple of weeks now... and i cant agree more, i love how it communicates with me :)
  • @2649
    Really appreciate the video
  • @bjc1219
    Great video, thanks! All useful tips that I agree with and use regularly. You made the key point right at the top: motivation! Not only do I feel encouraged (nice word) to keep up and intensify my workout routine but also to diversify things. Now, a gym trip seems a bit more 'stale' and I'm more inclined to take full advantage of my watch out on a long bike ride or run outside. Before owning a Garmin, I got my epix Pro (Gen 2) back in December, the normal scheduled gym routine was all I really did.

    Wow! This is such a high quality video. Not sure how you don't have many more subscribers. Your delivery seems effortless, like you have had decades of experience in front of the camera. Thank you for this video, you have gained a new subscriber. Looking forward to whatever you post next.
  • @milanpintar
    this is amazing, I've had my epix pro since it came out and didn't know half these things
  • @josejr.8671
    i bought the enduro 2 for the real bright flash light. love Garmin. and of course all its features.
  • @VernL4
    YES!!! I'm totally with you. Apple watch makes me think of Starbucks. That's just the target audience for Apple. Many people will follow fads based solely on what they see other people doing and/or what other people have. Very few will actually do research and compare specs and features. I honestly feel that consumers should educate themselves before making purchases. Sadly, few people actually do that. I'm sticking with my Fenix 7 as well!
  • @ActiveIdeas
    Fantastic video mate! Made me miss my Fenix 🔥
  • @Belgarathe
    Agree on flashlight. Didn’t think I would use it and ended up using it every night
  • @Neazzy
    Video quality, background and the lighting is incredible man! I thought you are in like 600k subscribers 😅 keep going! Well done 👏🏽
  • Great video! In regards to style, I personally like the forerunner series watches a lot more. I had a fenix 6X for a while and I hated the way it looked. Love my FR955. Keep up with the good work and keep the videos coming 😊
  • @themole85
    palming the watch also works with the epix btw, just tried it and was baffled :D
  • @SteveLewis-0-
    Nice list. I love all those things. I also love daily suggested workout combined with calendered events. Like the tactix I see the 8X coming with an amoled option which might move me from my epix.
  • @Mr.3000TX
    I just made the switch from Apple Watch to epix pro 2, I am very impressed and don’t have any regrets
  • @thisisit7841
    Just got my Epix Gen2 and noticed another way to trigger the morning report: After waking up early you can open your "last activity" tab of the pull down menu. This will show "sleep". If you open it there will be an option to end sleep and thus show the report.
