Garmin Venu3s vs Fenix 7

Hi everyone!

I am struggling to decide between a Garmin Fenix 7 Solar and the Venu3s. I know the Fenix is more sports-heavy, but apart from that, any other tips or ideas on how to choose between them?! I’d use the watch weekly for road cycling and rock climbing (indoors) and eventual hikes.

I’d really appreciate any tips or reviews you have from your own experience with these watches so far!

Thank you :)

I do bouldering inside and this is a reason I have epix sapphire. Any other screen would not survive climbing I suppose.

In my opinion you should opt for a watch with sapphire screen. Fenix or Epix, whatever…

Not sure about Fenix, but Venu doesn't have Garmin navigation included. You can use dwmap, but need to have phone with you if you need maps in background of bread crumbs style route line.

So maybe investigate this area.
