Fenix 7x on female wrist

Hi, i am just about to update my Fenix 5s, I did have a Fenix 3 which was a lot bigger, and I didn't have a problem with the size of the 3. I am struggling to see maps on the smaller 5 (getting on abit now!), I am leaning towards the Fenix 7x mainly due to battery life and the larger screen (it seems to me that when the solar band around the face of the watch is taken into consideration, the size down from the Fenix 7x, screen will be the same as the Fenix 5s which is too small for me to see easily. Do any ladies with small wrists have the Fenix 7x and any issues, I did try one on and the main body of the watch completely covered the top of my wrist. Thanks

I have the same problem, also have the 5s and the 7x is not only going to be too big but way way too heavy.

The 5s weight is already distracting during running and the 7x is way heavier.

But I need the…

Would that not be a question to actually ask in the F7x group as thats where people who wear it are best place to answer and well will see your question??

But I need the bigger screen.

So I either have to wait for the sport edition in the plastic case (955? May?) or go coros pace2

Given the crazy prices I think I'm done with garmin universe unless they get competitive cost-wise

I'll never buy a -S model again after discovering the battery is much smaller and wears out much more quickly.

The 7x is just as big as the 5x, so no need to ask in the fenix 7 group. It might be a bigger change to find a girl wearing a 5x here than a girl wearing a 7x in the fenix 7 group.

(personally I think my forerunner 935 is just big enough and that's slightly smaller than the regular fenix 5, or fenix 7. The forerunner is a lot lighter. I'm a male but have quite small wrists. And I'm an endurance runner. And I don't like the rugged looks of the fenix series. And I don't see any added value of watches preduces after my forerunner. So I might not be the one to give you advice. But the 5s does have poor batterylife, that I know. And with years it will be reduces quite a lot.)
