• RE: Fenix 7X - What I really love and I miss

    You changed the plastic lens of the heart rate diodes to glass! Not only me but (learning from the posts in this forum) many others suffered from a rash wearing the Fenix 6X 24/7. Since I switched to the 7X with the glass lens the rash has…
  • RE: So... which Fenix 7 did you buy?

    I was always going to get the 7X Solar Sapphire because I prefer the look of a large watch. Plus it comes with a few extra features & longest battery. That was pretty much a given.

    I was thinking of splurging on the one that came with a titanium band…

  • RE: Alternative to FR235

    I will think about that.
    Good call as i did not know that there was a difference.
    Today i have no rash but last week i had red bumps with rash right under the strap.


    One question - how tight do you normally wear the watch? I keep mine fairly loose when…

     I am a tour guide. I wore my instinct to do a bike tour today for a 100 km ride in Phuket and my wrist got burned from the charging port of my instinct. At first I thought it was rubbing my skin raw so I tried adjusting the watch but it was the same.…

    But, in the presence of a salt solution, as in sweat, just the presence of two difference metals may be enough. No need for voltage

    I know I have had far less irritation since adding a port plug. If the pins have any nickel in them, it may be enough with…

    This is my first activity tracker, and i was quite satisfied with the information that provided. I could watch my heart rate during the day, my sleep was recorder, GPS was very good and convenient, etc. However, several bugs or discomfort points are present…

    Some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to certain foods, which can trigger a stress response in the body. These reactions can vary widely and may include physical symptoms like digestive issues, skin rashes, or even changes in mood and energy…

  • RE: does Light from sensor emitted from Garmin watch cause disturbed sleep?

    It largely depends on your sleeping position and how loose the watch is. If it's loose enough for it to get in your eyes as you're trying to sleep, it's probably looser than it should be for accurately recording incidental HR etc through the day and definitely…

  • Early observations coming from a Fenix 6 Pro Solar

    Got a Fenix 7X Solar Sapphire (Ti Carbon Grey) yesterday, really quick delivery from REI btw.  I have an Epix Gen 2 on order to compare.

    Hardware

    • It feels very light for a 7X.  Running with it is not a problem in terms of a larger device. Note, I run mostly…
  • RE: When 5x not in use

    The HR turns off within a few seconds of your taking the watch off, and should restart as soon as it detects movement AND skin close to the sensor.

    In terms of reconnecting, (at least on Android), I go to the Bluetooth settings page on the phone, - I don…
