I'm an intense user of my Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar, doing many different kinds of sports and trying to track as much of my life and as accurately as possible.
These things need to be added or revised in my opinion:
1. Manually start and stop sleep tracking:
I often lay down in bed minutes to hours before I actually sleep, and if time will allow, stay in bed long after I wake up. These times are mistakenly added to the sleep time. Likewise, getting up at night, working for a few hours, and taking a power nap many hours later is counted as a sleep period with a long awake time. Overall, the Fenix 7 does not seem to be made for alternative sleep types, such as polyphasic sleep.
2. Add sleep tracking for power naps (during the day):
Should be self-explanatory.
3. Add weight measurements on the watch and add a widget to display body weight:
I don't want to search my phone and sync with IQ Connect every time I just want to add the current body weight measurement
4. Save a data screen as template; copy a data screen from another activity; create template data screens:
On almost all my (many) activities, I use the same data screen layouts. Currently, I need to manually create and edit ALL data screens with up to 6 data fields for EVERY of my 15 activities on my watch (see 5.) which takes for ever. I think there are multiple ways to make this simpler and faster as you can see in the title.
5. Let me edit the data screens in the IQ Connect App as well (and don't just show a note that it's not possible via the phone):
Should be self-explanatory as well. I don't care how beautiful the interface will be designed, I just want to use the big touchscreen of my phone for editing instead of the small watch display and buttons...
6. Backup and restore (all) watch settings so I don't have to painstakingly redo all from memory:
In case I switch to a newer model or loose / damage my watch and need to replace it. Especially in case points 4 and 5 don't get added, it would be a pain in the ***
Apart from that, I am absolutely satisfied with my Fenix 7 and have not regretted the purchase to this day. The many options, the long battery life and the very well thought-out design in both hardware and software makes the Fenix series, in my opinion, the best all-round fitness and multi-sport tracker on the market.
I'd love to here your opinion on my thoughts as well as the developers / product designers feedback :)
Cheers!
