Has anyone tried the GPS reception of Fenix series watches on a commercial flight?

I was with my phone on a window seat, holding it near the window. I guess it could work with the 7 too if you keep it close to the window all the time.

Also, it helps if you get a good GPS fix shortly before boarding the plane, because getting a fix once you're inside, and the plane moving at high speed, can be much more difficult.

I don't know how it looks on the F6 specifically, but some users of other watches reported that the watch showed incorrect speed, because speed indication was limited to approximately 250 km/h.

Another thing to be aware of is that the barometric altimeter won't work properly inside a pressurized airliner.

This was a flight with a Fenix 1 and the position could be seen on the map of the watch:

It works if you sit at a window. I never again tracked a full flight with one of my newer watches. The height was somehow confused because the watch measured the pressure within the cabin.

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, it seems hopeful that officials will lift the 250km/h limit, this feature that pilots can use for emergencies.

Thanks for your answer,

My previous F6Pro worked only a while by the window. Can't search the signal. Maybe I'll try my new F7 in a month if I get good seat.

Maybe the speed limit depends on the activity type used for recording?

Quite possible. The aviation watches from Garmin can show correct speed. Also it is quite likely that the Marq Driver has no such speed limitation, although I have no info on that. However I suspect that for sports-related activities there is this limitation, and not because Garmin imposed it on purpose, but probably rather due to limitations in the sports fit file specifications. Again, I do not have any firm info. Just making an educated guess.

Actually the barometric is working perfectly, it doesn't stop working because you are in a plane. However, if the plane is pressurized it may not give you the answer you expected, but its still working perfectly. !!
