FENIX 7 must haves the wearable killer

I just want a stronger vibration for erotic purposes !
But that's me.

Really that would be a huge success !!

Among other things like a dual frequency gps chip, 4th gen elevate heart rate sensor for better accuracy, more colors and better resolution display(no amoled) etc, I wish Fenix 7 would have a touch screen and before you blast me, here’s how I’d like it to operate: in the quick setting menu option to turn touch on/off, aloe to setup by activity when you want touch screen to work vs not(run-no way, walk is ok for example). I do love the 5 button layout and it works seamlessly but I do wish for daily task it did have a touch screen and I believe there’s a way to make it work on a real outdoor watch.  

Please!!:)

Touchscreen - I don't want it - but it could be OK if it can be switched off by key press, and not reactivate itself too easily.

Memories of the Epix touch screen in the rain.. it was just awful.

I am not in need of upgrading, I actually tend to buy my Garmins towards the end of the live cycle, half the price and hopefully most the bugs are sorted...

So I came from my Fenix 5 Plus, and for me personally the F6 Pro apart from better battery life hasn't been an upgrade, it does have a lot more 'features' but most are gimmicks, and many do not work properly. GPS I think overall is worse. 

About the only thing that would interest me is the new dual band GPS chip which is supposed to improve GPS accuracy. But that's too late for the Fenix 7, that'll be Fenix 8 / Forerunner 965..... so it's unlikely I would get the Fenix 7. The all black F6 Pro also looks horrible compared to the slate grey F5 and the silver F5+ so actually if they could improve the cosmetics a bit might help...back to F5 slate grey please! Oh and less bezel please, so much space is wasted with the black surround between the screen and the case....

I do not want a touchscreen or Venu type screen, I value always on and visibility in daylight far more.

All the features mentioned here plus:

• Industrial standard three phase power connector
• Separately sold back pack wearable hydrogen power plant to deliver a blazing 2 hours runtime with all that features

Why do you think it is too late for the new Sony dual band GPS chip? The chip has been available since last summer, and Garmin has already released two handheld GPS navigation devices with the new chip.

Everybody, seem to want a dual band GPS receiver. Are there any good tests with such devices in different activities?

Actually, having dual band GPS may not increase the accuracy for all activities. I remember from some old tests with Broadcomm GPS chipsets that it takes some time to reach the best accuracy. For example, a minute or more to reach to 30 sentimeters accuracy and you needed to stay at the same position to reach that. How is the things nowadays? Is dual band good for only slow activities, or will it help running inside a forest?

And take Polar V800 for example, it doesn't have neither dual band, nor multi constellation GNSS support. It only works with American GPS but, it's maybe more accurate than todays GNSS watches.

Technically GPS currently guarantees a precision of 7.8m horizontally. If a receiver tells a higher precision it's done via sampling in software over the most recent positions. If the location is fixed this is quite easy to achieve. But in moving conditions you have to take account for speed, direction, changes in those etc...

Dual band receivers have advantages in reflective environments. Since the two frequencies do behave different wrt. to reflections the receiver can easier differentiate between the "original signal" and the reflection. So running in Manhattan will benefit from it.

Another point really is the design of the antenna in the receiver. So sensitivity and placement of the antenna and filtering of the positions in software is much more crucial than having the top notch latest chooser.
