What bluetooth version does F7 line have?

I have the same question.

Also I'd like to know if Bluetooth LE Audio with LC3 codec is or will be supported.

Bluetooth chip inside the watch supports 5.0 but don't know how it's utilised.

Why does it matter? 

Hi members!

I would like to ask 

Garmin Fenix 7X : 

- what version is Bluetooth

- does it support bluetooth LE

- does it aupport aptX audio codec

Thank you, Markus

only partial answers : no aptx, it would be too power hungry, bluetooth LE is here yes

is Bluetooth technology based on 5.0  ? or higher?

it's a very important information and isn't mentioned in specification

it's at least bluetooth 4 (ie, ble handled), but can't tell if it's higher.

Just as a matter of understanding, what bluetooth 5 would bring to you ? I'm not getting the point of the question :

- energy saving ? won't change anything, as the duration of the watch is what it is

- supported devices ? bluetooth 5 devices does support connection from a bluetooth 4 device

so I'm not seeing, as a consumer, or as a developper, what it would bring in this specific use case, did I missed an obvious point ? just curious to know

BT 5 has much better range of connectivity and also stability. I have Samsung S21Ultra and Garmin stands for aprox 10-12 meters away from phone. With clear view. But Galaxy Watch stands along for 25m (my whole garden). Same experiance in buildings. 

thanks for sharing, anyway, What I'm puzzled with, what thing would you connect your watch, and taking farther than one meter actually ? what kind of device would require this that connect to the watch ? Aren't all the sensors close to you when doing sports ?

do you have some very specific fitness devices in minds ?
