I love that Garmin gives us so much control to literally do anything we want on these watches. Most people have no idea how powerful these devices actually are.
I just bought my first Garmin Watch, a Fenix 7 Pro and this video was probably the most insightful video I've seen on setting up different aspects of the watch. Thanks!
Have been using my Epix Pro Gen 2 (47mm titanium) for almost 3 months and I love it!! What a fantastic tool!
i have had my Epix pro gen 2 47 mm for a couple of weeks now, still getting to grips with it.. i need to find some better straps as the i hate ones that the strap looses the lugs.. i dont miss my apple watch at all...
Great Video!! I went from several Apple watches to the Garmin. Epic pro 2 sapphire edition!! Almost 7 months! Learning something new all the time. Like around 9:27 in your video. Great info! Use the motocross, e-bike and overland a lot. Now can get info I want.. just wish you could start and stop sleep mode manually. Instead of time. Don’t really have sleep schedule. So when up past bed time you set. Have to keep turning off sleep mode so I can use the watch.
This is a great in-depth introductory video. I hope Garmin will consider producing something similar when major firmware updates are released, letting users get an overview of the changes.
I absolutely love Garmin. But this epix 2 pro should have had a bigger display and less bezel around. Would look 300% better. Please Garmin 🙏
I have an Instinct 2 but this was still an incredibly useful video. I thought I was pretty experienced at this point, but still learned lots of useful tips for customizing activities and data fields. And that bit about displaying the data fields on the watch while changing them in the app on your phone... Very handy!
What a great in-depth video with many features described. This is much better than reading the manual. Thanks a lot Garmin.
Most comprehensive Epix Pro Video to date!!! Loads of tips with explanations to learn, nuggets of knowledge here!!!
This is a great, comprehensive, easy to understand guide. Thank you 👍
Garmin devices are world class good. Solidly made. Durable. Lasts forever. They are also masters of battery life, especially on devices with solar.
Thanks. This was helpful and appreciated .
Really useful information. Much appreciated
Extremely useful, thanks keep updating
I just purchased this awesome watch, and it almost cost me a wife 😂😅😊 The watch won by a country mile. But seriously it's an amazing watch so far, i came from a G Shock rangeman, so i have a lot to learn about the Garmin fenix 7x pro sapphire solar.
Incredible video, I dont have a Fenix 7 Pro but wanted to learn more about them. This video really showcases some of the features, its impressive for sure.
Hey, thanks for this. Great video and I was not sure how to use a lot of the function on my new Epic 7s and this has given me a brilliant insight, so I can use it better to track my fitness.
Receiving my Epix Pro tomorrow and this video will be a real help in setting it up. Can't wait!!
How are you liking it?
@@darriusholt Absolutely love it. Choose the 51mm version and it doesn't feel oversized. I have the display set to always on and with 30-60 min activities per day, I easily get 7-9 days of battery. Sleep reporting is accurate and even the flashlight (set to red mode for me at night) has proven very, very useful. 5 stars for sure.
This was SO helpful. I will be saving this!
Really great informational video. Expecting more on Enduro 2 though. I heard ECG function is anticipated to come for Enduro 2 users. Would love to hear about it!
I got the Fenix 7 Pro before a run I took with my company.
One thing that i wished it had (not sure if i overlooked the feature): I typed in the course the day before. The watch therefore knew the distance. Would have been cool, if while running, there was an option that shows how much of the distance was either completed or remaining (10% left). As motivation.
Well done, viewed it as I am waiting for my new Fenix7pto to be delivered. will be back for a review or 2 once I have it strapped to my wrist. Thanks
Really Useful. Succinct and to the point
Tanks alot❤ i have the forerunner 965 who basycally have the same menue and you'r video was really helpful 👌😎
Super, dziękuję za proste wyjaśnienia
Great video with some nice tips. I use an instinct 2x as my all day and sports watch and love it. Great watch, highly customizable, super durable like gshock, full of features, great for gym, running and outdoors. Love it
Just picked up an epix gen 2 standard for $599 from my local Bass Pro, cannot wait to get into my first garmin watch
Nice! Very informative!👍👍👍 Bravo!
Great tutorial 👍🏼
I love the default watch face but don’t understand why the days at the bottom begin with a Sunday and doesn’t change to match my setting of Monday as the first day of the week.
😡
Thank You So Much.
thanks this is great - it is on point and specific - !!
It would be great, if in future there would be an option to set on/off AOD for each activity 🤔
i really like the Epix Pro watch face. Would like to have it on my 965
Would add after initial setup download updates! Then play with settings.
thank you!
Does Stress/Body Battery continue to work if I am connected to an external HR sensor (armband or chest strap) during a long (8-hour) Activity?
Or do Stress/Body Battery only work when using the watch’s optical HR sensor?
Great video. I have a Fenix 7S and this was really helpful. Anyone else has a “double click felling” on the buttons? Is this normal for Garmin? Doesn’t feel premium for such an expensive watch.
My blue tooth link to my iPhone is shorter than it was on my Fenix 3HR. I ideas on how to increase the distance?
There are a ton of great channels out there, DesFit, Chase the Summit and Pascal Marquis Unbox (my personal favourite) ... Now CZcams has decided to finally show me the Garmin Channel 😂 the algorithm at work. I wish I would have found this video earlier. I love the Tactix Delta that I've just bought in a Sale for a steep discount, brand new from a Jeweller . It's so great to finally cut the cord and enjoy a watch without the battery issues of an Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which I also bought recently). I'm amazed what even this 5 year old watch can do. Imagine what future Garmin watches will offer. Don't dump the OLED Display thou, it gives the user so much freedom.
I live in the Middle East in the middle of the desert. What is the best model that suits me? The most important feature is determining locations and maps without the Internet.
Great video! Whats model is the white garmin on your hand? 😍
Thank you for your question. That happens to be an epix™ Pro (Gen 2) 42mm, Sapphire, Whitestone Case with Stainless Steel Bezel and an UltraFit (20mm) Gray Nylon Band.
Thanks for video! How do you change heart rate for each zone? Just bought a Fenix 7 pro
Thank you for your question. You can manually adjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. The following links will walk you through the steps of setting your Heart Rate Zones. I hope this helps.

@@GarminRetailTraining unfortunately been there done that.....there is no more 'user settings ' on mobile. And there is no more changeable hr zones. I can only update via percentage. Which complicates the whole process.
The connect Web asked for downloading of app? It is a vicious cycle that leads to nowhere.
Hello i can only find 3 weather overlays instead of 4 after updating my non pro epix with 14.31 firmware. Kindly apprise
Sorry to hear about the challenges with the weather overlays. Please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.

A 90 vo2 max? Nice.
Garmin should now focus on updating the app for Android, making only one with possibility to have a widget on smartphone android screen to better monitor (as Samsung does for example)
I have recently bought a Garmin Fenix 7 pro saphire solar in white colour, and I like very much the gray watchband this woman is wearing. Which on is it and where I could find it?
Thank you for your question. If I understand correctly, you have the Fenix 7 Pro - Sapphire Solar (Titanium with Fog Gray/Ember Orange Band). The band you see in the video is our UltraFit Nylon band. You can find it by clicking on the link below, then click the "Accessories" tab, then click "Bands". The gray band you are looking for is all the way to the bottom of that section. I hope this helps.

Is there any way to get current weather update via the GPS location where there is no cell phone connectivity and Wi-Fi access like when hiking or mountain climbing
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, in order to receive weather information through the weather widget:
1) The fenix needs to be paired and connected to the phone through the Garmin Connect App.
2) Your smartphone Bluetooth setting is turned on.
3) Your smartphone Location Services are turned on.
With that said, the Fenix 7 has a barometric altimeter - allowing you to monitor changes in weather by keeping tabs on the barometric pressure changes. The following link discusses the Barometer Settings as well as Calibrating the Barometer. I hope this helps.

It is a shame that Garmin does not interact performance graphics features for activities such as climbing or bodybuilding or swimming. We can find each session but we can not compare the scenists between at a more scientific look with for example since the application of the Exel tables. For example for muscululation there could be data such as the amounts of weight combine performance statistics. and climbing the quotations ect ......
Is there a smart watch does that? I'm sure Garmin have look into it just requires more IT
So charging to 100% before turning it not required?
Thank you for your question. While our smartwatches do come with a partial charge out of the box, we suggest charging for 2 hours before use.
I get lap notification every mile but want per km……my units are km……so what do I need to change ???? Thanks
Thank you for your question. To change one of the devices in this video from Miles to Kilometers, go to Settings > System > Format > Units > Distance. You can then select Miles or Kilometers. After you select Kilometers, you will need to go into the Run activity and go to Run Settings > Auto Lap > Auto Distance. Adjust your distance accordingly. If you run into any issues or have further questions, please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to assist. I hope this helps.
I have the Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar and the screen does NOT look as CRISP as these. Is that normal?
That's a great question! That may be due to using the epix Pro in the making of this video. The epix Pro has an AMOLED display, whereas the fenix 7 Sapphire Solar has an MIP display.
How do I get that watch face
Can you help me? My Garmin Epix on my activity MTB stopped recording data like distance and speed
All I get is total time
So annoying that’s what I got the watch for!!
Sorry to hear you aren't getting MTB data. Please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.
What is the average lifespan of let's say a Fenix pro 7 sapphire? Scared to spend 900 dollars on something that will lose support after a few years.
I'll stick with my Samsung galaxy watch 6 classic. I'm not a health nut by any stretch and the Smart watch features on my Samsung watch are awesome. I have no issue with GPS either. It's almost identical to my wife's Garmin forerunner 265 when we go on runs together.
Hello,
May I ask about start stop button, on my epix pro gen 2 42mm watch this button reminds me of old fashioned watch with wind mechanism, does it function in that way or it simply rotates ? Thanks in advance
We need ecg to available in uae please
تعال و حرر فلسطين يا عر صجى😢
Im not from EEUU, is she from Texas?
we need garmin to offer more custom screen colour options and stop wasting the amoled screen with limited choices
They must of had a recent fix on Garmin watches cause when I first bought the fenix 6x pro I had to connect it to a computer before you could use it and not you just turn on the watch and connect to phone and it’s done
Promo sm
Just purchased the Fenix 7 Pro sapphire, and was underwhelmed with the box. For a nearly $1k watch, the box is rather cheap. The Fenix 6 still came with a basic box, but a much more subsantial one.
Honestly, the Fenix 7 Pro box is worse than some I've seen from $50 Walmart watches.
Are you paying for the box or a watch? If the former, then I'd be happy to sell you a $100 box
@@jamestucker4800When you expect less you'll get less. It's cheap. As the owner of many high end products and cheap products alike, the Garmin 7 wins the crappy unboxing award.
Have you never been excited to unbox a nice product that you've paid your hard-earned money for? I don't expect the packaging of an Omega Seamaster 300, but I expect them to care.
When 1960's razors came in nicer boxes than today's 1k sports watches we've lost something along the way. Can you not see the bigger picture? It's really about more than the box.
@@jamestucker4800I don't understand why someone would complain about the box. Ridiculous.
Strange complaint man. You are buying the watch not the box
@@vasmav When you buy a luxury product do you not expect everything about it to be luxury? Standards have apparently fallen.
Sleep algorithms are not accurate and the heart rate sensor is also an exaggeratedly expensive watch
For me the sleep algorithm is exactly spot on, as in - to the minute accuracy. And the heart rate is also completely accurate for me.
For me, my measured sleep patterns line up to about minute accuracy to real life.
Bought a new fenix 7x pro 2 weeks ago. Its my first garmin. Its also my last garmin.
What a piece of absolute junk.
Also dont try and reach out to garmin support outside the US. You’ll just get a big fat FU.
Youre hilarious
Awww. Fatso also wanna be cute and relevant. You’re adorable.
I have the same watch and I'm very impressed with it. Why do you think it's "absolute junk"?
I'd like to know when you'll sell nylon "heathered" or not - bands that aren't about 130 dollars overpriced? will that ever happen? your silicone bands destroy my wrist. I can wear nearly any other brand of silicone strap without issue - I don't know where you source it, but for my skin it's a no go - I cannot justify spending 150 dollars on a nylon strap that couldn't have possibly cost more than 10 to produce.
Garmin watches are overpriced
Way overpriced. $800-$1200 for a smartwatch is ridiculous. I will never buy new.
There are several “smart” watches at this price level, many of them with less features than Garmin’s.
I agree they are not cheap but they are the best in this category by far.
@@Uns_Maps_8not the heart sensor
@@lsfire3489 you think so?
@@Uns_Maps_8 check out the quantified scientist he has tested the heart rate sensor of garmin watches to be mediocre compared with the best in situations of rapid heart rate change such as running and biking look about midway through his video on the heart rate sensors of rpix pro and fenix 7 pro
Garmin has the worst and most user unfriendly software I have ever seen in any of the smartwatches I used in the market. It is confusing and often does not work at all. I have a garmin epix (gen 2), carbon gray dlc titanium with black band, premium active and I will send it back for a refund. It will not find my Telstra WiFi 5G broadband connection my other WiFi items including other brands find with ease. Garmin, this is a useless piece of product that is not only overpriced but also user unfriendly. Do not purchase such an outdated unsmart-watch.
Hello :) I have fenix 7X pro. Do this device have drive mode. I want to track my car driving details. Thank you :)
