How to set heart rate zones on garmin connect app for Fenix 7s Solar?

I need to set my heart rate zones but I just can't find where to do it!!

Apparently, it's not possible on Connect Web, but I can't seem to find where and how to do it on the app either!

This is what I get:

I want to insert the minimum and maximum value for each zone, like in this example (Fenix 6X on iOS):

This is driving me crazy!

The option to enter "BPM" has been removed for fenix 7 series.

You have to set by %.

As bluefish has mentioned, you cannot do that anymore. Only percentage.

On your screenshot second column is in percent scale. This should allow you to define zones with simple math.

In fact I did not like…

Let me Google that for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=garmin+fenix+7+solar+owners+manual

First result from the top

fēnix®‎ 7 Standard/Solar/Pro Series Owner’s Manual (garmin.com) page 131 shows how to set it up directly on the watch

In GCM (Android) I have to go to Devices -> FR955 (sorry I do not have Fenix, but that should be the same) -> User Profile -> (at the bottom of the screen) Heart Rate & Power Zones

I still do not understand why I have 3 of those: Zones and Sport Heart Rate (split into Running and Cycling), but that was not your question

I appreciate you taking your time to reply, but this still isn't what I'm looking for.
This will only give me the option to set zones as a percentage, not absolute values.
Again, how can I insert specific HR to define HR Zones?

This is what I'm looking for (eg. from Fenix 6X on iOS Connect app):

In fact I did not like previous system. That table suggest that Zone 1 is everything from 0 bpm up to 68% of LTHR.

Right now Zone 1 (by default) is between 67% and 75%, and I think this make more sense.

Ok, thanks.
It does make it a lot harder to match you HR Zones on TrainingPeaks though, TP doesnt use %. But yeah, I'll just have to do the maths.
I just think one could still have the choice, can't understand why that's gone...
Thanks for your help.

If you have read my answer, you have read that this is NOT possible with the fenix 7.

From the fenix 7 forum (found by searching with "zones by bpm") :
