Not sure how I found this channel but instantly recognised the voice from Dartmoor camping videos!
Lol yup it's me or him 🤣 welcome thanks for joining ☺️
It is curious how , maybe CZcams push the occasional video of mine to other channel subs and pot luck if they open it and think I recognise that mad voice lol
IMO this is the best smartwatch out there! Just got mine an hour ago and was completely dead and now on the charger waiting to be unleashed! lol
You will love it for sure. I assume you had the 6 before the 7? Yes I'd agree nothing touches it and that is a very broad opinion too. I got the apple 7 to play with but it's just well lol this does everything you need and I don't miss the call talking thing but I suppose that would be handy but rarely and I've not missed it. Good luck with your watch let me know how you get on and any idea ideas always welcome
@@wildaboutwatches I've had Fenix's since the 3 HR days when they first put a heart rate monitor on the damn thing. This time I am coming from a Delta Tactix to a 7X. I won't be going the Delta line anymore because I didn't use the features and the bezel I found had sharp edges that would scratch things if bumped into. I like the tapered, soft corners of the Std. Fenix line now. I also go several Apple Watch versions and having to plug in every day sucks and it is a toy. Garmin's health monitoring is not a toy. It's a professional tool compared to Apple. That's my opinion anyways :) Thanks for getting back!
@Ralph Reilly I've used fenix 6x for 18 months and nothing touches it. It gives me notifications tells me if phone ringing what more smartness do I need. I have the apple 7 and it's just a toy and struggling to find a use fir it. Worth getting for channel but what do I say about it lol got a few thoughts etc
Thank you for stopping by to watch my video. PS its me just my other channel lol
@Ralph Reilly I had Apple watches before...
@Ralph Reilly dumbest comment I’ve seen so far….you must be an Apple fanboy
Very instructional, well put together and fun little video. Thanks!
Thank you and thanks for the subscription means a lot too :)
Mate great review ... You even made me laugh through it a few times .... Great sense of humour sir. Thanks for the great and helpful and insightful review... Keep on keeping on 👍
Thank you very much for great comment. Somehow I pulled all the stops out on this one lol I have a few more videos on the fenix 7x that you might enjoy and find useful. I'm just me and 99% what you see is mine so unfortunately I'll not get the tactix you spoke of in the other question. I doubt garmin will send me one lol
Very happy to hear you enjoyed the video though
Gotta be one of your best edited videos to date... really loved the unboxing and the overall setup... brilliant job my friend ;)
Now, need to cover that backlight, as I wanted to see where the light was coming from, as it wasn't from the screen like on my Fenix 6Pro
That blast came from the death star that thing is fully operational....
Haha I guess inadvertently I have left you wanting more 😅 like hens teeth editing like that lol it just fell into place 😅 iPhone and a wing and a prayer 😆
Good thought I'll do something on my flasher soon as that is quite a bit external difference and new feature. Thank you for watching really appreciate your input
great watch, I have a black one.
Good video , also ordered one 7x , its waiting for me when I Get back from holliday , cant wait 🙂🍺🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️😁
That's great thank you for watching enjoy your fenix
Lots if videos here and the 6x videos will be of use too
nice and quik info thanks
Pleasure thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
👏🏼COMPLIMENTI🔝 bravissimo!!!
gran bel video recensione!!!!! Hai spiegato in maniera eccelsa ogni suo particolare!
Sceglierò senz’ombra di dubbio il 7x 😊
If only the 7x had the clarity display of the Epix2.
Yea but then you lose battery and various other things like in your face display... but I do agree slightly more visible would be nice
The fenix 7x sapphire solar watch has a major drawback, the screen in the menu as well as the messages that arrive when the phone is connected to the watch are set to black background and pale blue text (due to the poor finish of the sapphire glass, there is no white color, but pale blue color) and that text is hard to read. There is no option like on older models of garmin watches to change the background to be white or pale gray and the text to be black, which would be more legible. (Inverter color or display color setting). As soon as you sweat a little around your eyes during activities, you can't see clearly, or if you have a smaller (+ eye diopter) for reading, which most people over 40 have the same problem, you strain to read what is written on the screen. Otherwise, the watch is excellently made, but this problem with the screen and the lack of an option to set the background to be white or gray and the text to be black, which is more pleasant and legible for the eye, makes the garmin fenix 7x sapphire solar watch unusable for many people and if not documents in some software update the watch is a complete and utter failure. I found a lot of the same comments in several forums which says that the problem is not innocuous.
Damn it boy, I have the same knife in orange.
Sold
Thank you for this witty upload. With Garmin having just released new variants of the Fenix and Epix 51mm lines, would you consider an AMOLED display to be a practical alternative?
I've not seen or used tbh so can't comment but someone I know prefers fenix outside plus says in always on the battery very poor. I'd love to see one but for now I'll need to be good ....
Is the colour of this watch grey or black? What colour is written about this one?
Do any of these garmins actually have a bright easy to read screen ? 6s pro solar NOPE , instinct 2 solar tactical- meh ... so is 7x solar sapphire?
Hello! Unfortunately, I returned my fenix 7x pro solar watch, and I will tell you the reason. It does not record daytime sleep. For example, if I sleep for 2 hours after dinner, it does not record these hours, it considers them as if I were active. From that moment on, what confidence can I have in the health parameters they display? It's a shame, I really liked the watch, but it's a major minus that I couldn't ignore, especially when I'm talking about a gadget of almost 1000 euros.
The fenix lineup indeed all Garmin don't do that unfortunately maybe in future
The night sleep pretty accurate from what I can see
Getting mine next week Tony... Blk version... : -)
Ah you couldn’t resist lol good luck it’s nice
Thank you for watching and posting comment
Wozu ist der rote Ring am Rande vom Display?
Is this colour grey or black? Which is written?
Appreciate the video, but get rid of those distracting lights/glare.
Hello yes any advice on that please? They annoy me too. What do I use that won't cause that thanks.
I try to keep the angle away lol
Thanks Tony. Was this the black or carbon version watch?
Hello it’s the carbon grey one not black my pleasure thank you
I have a Garmin 6x and have bought 7x. Will the data from 6x still be stored in the application on the phone when I add the new 7x device?
Great video, what is your wrist size? i am trying to decide between the 7 and 7x
7"
It's worth going for 7x If possible
Ps the red light, make some cash 🏆 🥇 🏅 😅
Do you know if they are going to release an upgraded Marq with thouch screen?
Hello, no idea sorry. I really only know much about the fenix lineup esp 6 7 , I probably should at least research the others 😅 thank you for popping by
Is that the carbon grey version?
Black :)
Will you do a review of the tactix 7
Thank you for request please see reply to your other kind comment
hello,
nice video, what model is it ? Titanium Titan or the black one ?
Hello Thank you
It's the grey one its not black
Does this color bezel show scratches easily
Does it support Tidal?
Can I text back people on this watch? Say I get a text from my friend?
Yes and no…… not anything you want like you can’t reply hey Fred go check out Hobbs and his watch and camping channel lol but if your friend sends text worded that to you you can have pre set replies like yes no home later I’ll be late love you lol etc etc you can do your own pre set replies and scroll on phone to it and reply yes etc that way
CZcams is suspect.
How am I officially subscribed to this channel and it takes over 3 months for this video to make to my feed
Terrible
I thought my friend went on sabbatical or started transcendental meditation 🧘♂️
Pmsl I probably got lost in my tent lol 😆 Great to see you here again at last lol 😆
What’s the name of that face on the 6x please? It has a running Baro graph at the bottom. Cheers
Hello nice to see you again, I think you posted a comment previously :) this one has the altimeter at bottom but but but lol you can change to baro and that is my preference by far. I have the fenix 6x and my plan is to do a video setting up this one to match or closely match how my 6 was in a video which hopefully helps folks and might be different approach to just saying in a video this is what you do etc etc
Re question which I'll do in video
It's in-built and my favourite.
Watch face
Down or up to black face that looks like it
Then top right to change background colour to white
Then all fiends can be changed there too to baro and battery etc etc
I think you might be subscribed please do if not. I don't do sponsorship etc probably never bother who'd sponsor me anyway lol nor saying I'd never but unlikely I like it like this really without breaking in to mention some product but viewing to end and subscribed helps a lot to push me out to wider audience. Thanks for watching and see you again
@@TonyHobbs Thanks for letting me know. Oops bad luck for me I have a Fenix 5. Never mind you cannot have it all I guess 😂 subscribed now! Cheers
@@Ajajambo lol 😆 too true the fenix 6 will drop in price and is a fabulous watch if you upgrade one day or save up another penny for the 7 lol I hear the 5 is good though too....
Thanks for the sub and chat take care
@@TonyHobbs spot on let 7 run it’s course and then perhaps pull the trigger on the 6 pro. 👍
@@Ajajambo plenty of videos on here to help you re 6 too lol any questions let me know and follow 7x videos as most is similar to 6 😀
Can this watch accurately track my runs without my phone on me ?
It should do
Is it touch screen?
Yes it is and this can be turned on off with one hot key as seen in another video of mine :)
Is this black or carbon grey dlc?
Where and how to buy it.

You will get notifications yes definitely and might be able to reply with simple pre set up replies like home late I'm busy see you soon type thing
@@TonyHobbs thanks ! 🤗
Had my volume at max and could hardly hear you.
Not had that comment before one tries ones best I'm not a pro like others and do sometimes struggle with audio levels
Hopefully other vids easier for you to hear here thanks for trying it all helps 😊
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the voice/volume in this video.
low voice
Yeah sorry still figuring mics out lol, thanks for watching though
Volume stinks
I'm not a pro by far no way and maybe audio not perfect but you can hear me clearly enough 😉 😜
Thanks for watching
