In your opinion, is the ring on my Fenix 7X pro normal?

Hi guys, I'm posting some photos of my Fenix 7X pro, which I purchased in September, it has always had a part of the bezel that seems slightly detached. In your opinion is this normal? After about 2 months I'm starting to wonder if I should call for assistance. I'm really fond of my fenix, but I don't want it to have problems with water infiltrations in the future.

If you zoom the photos you can see better.

Bye, see you soon!

It may not be good but it's kinda normal. Plastic and metal just don't come close easily. Some watches seem better some are like this. Mine is like this but now I couldn't find the gap. You won't have…

Hi,

I just unpacked my third F7Pro, which I'll return afternoon because of mess again in sensor and it seems exactly the same. I don't think this is a problem, but on my F7 it seems to fit perfect or at least much better. The quality of Garmin seems to be going down. If I don't use Varia radar, I'll switch to Suunto or Polar.

Hi, thanks for the reply, in fact I also noticed that the build quality of the Fenix 6X pro (which I had for about 3 years) was better than that of the fenix 7X.
I imagine that your last 3 photos are of the Fenix 7, while the first 2 are of the fenix 7xpro. I hope that over time it is not a problem that can affect the functioning of my fenix.

Exactly, F7pro and F7 silver, both 47mm. IMHO I think the gasket is circular around the display, so the only problem might be dirt sticking in those gaps.

You won't have water ingress problems related to it as the blue gasket is under the metal bezel, but there may be some dirt there.
