if you're not super keen on the AMOLED display, the Fenix 7 Pro offers better value for money for outdoor athletes. These are watch faces made by third-party developers and the in-house Garmin folks, too, with the collection growing all the time.

One big difference between the Fenix 7 Pro and the Epix Pro is the solar-charging display, which can only be found on the Fenix 7 Pro. Mixing analog and digital watch looks, Summit gives you room to pick what's shown on the three digital sub-dials including battery and distance covered. The Fenix 7 Pro’s battery can last for up to 122 hours in GPS mode with solar charging, according to Garmin, assuming constant use in 50,000 lux conditions.Sleep tracking, for instance, is fine for overall duration, but its sleep stages can vary widely from what I get on the Oura Ring. But there are two things that the Epix Pro — and the Fenix 7 Pro — has that its regular counterparts don’t: a new heart rate sensor and LED flashlights. One for mindfulness fans - or anyone that needs to take a breather after a stressful moment in their day - the CalmGuru face uses breath circles to indicate when to breathe in and out, with your current heart rate positioned at the center of the screen. We'll be spending more time testing this area over the coming weeks, so check back to discover the true extent of the differences between the heart rate monitoring performance of these two watches. There are additional policies for optional health insights, contactless payments, and safety features.

Our score hasn't moved even with a lot more hills and mileage increases over the past six weeks, for example. In our time using it, we mostly had the display maxed out and always on, with blood oxygen monitoring turned on during sleep and the screen off between 22:00 - 07:00. This trio won't feature AMOLED displays, it seems, with that still remaining the Epix's key upgrade, but all of the new models do appear to have an all-new optical heart sensor setup on the rear.Regardless, the battery serves well, even with the torch’s red mode on for an hour with GPS, which was nice for street running at night. Once you factor in solar charging and the always-on screen, the Fenix 7 Pro becomes a clear winner of the battery race. The Garmin Epix Pro now comes in the same three case sizes (42mm, 47mm and 52mm) as the Fenix, each with an AMOLED display. A huge array of leaked images have given us our first glimpse at the rumored Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) and Garmin Fenix 7 Pro range, hinting that an official announcement could be imminent.
