Having tested almost every watch that Garmin has released over the past five years, and worked several Black Fridays and other major sales, I usually have a good idea about which Garmins are likely to be reduced at any given time.
However, I didn’t see this £150 discount on the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro coming because it’s quite a new watch that sits close to the top of Garmin’s range. It’s one of the best sports watches available, and a 20% discount like this is unlikely to be bettered—even in the upcoming Black Friday period.
The Garmin Fenix 7 Pro has all of the brand’s top sports tracking, navigation and smart features. Along with offering best-in-class tracking, training analysis and maps, those smart features include NFC payments and music storage.
It also has a built-in flashlight, which is one of the big hardware upgrades on the standard Fenix 7, along with a new heart rate monitor that I found accurate during workouts, and which can also take ECG measurements.
The battery life on the Fenix 7 Pro is great and this is the main reason to get it ahead of the Garmin Epix Pro, which has the same features but a bright AMOLED display. The AMOLED screen is great and more vibrant than the LCD screen on the Fenix 7 Pro, but the Fenix’s display is still easy to read in all conditions and preserves battery life.
Black Friday is fast approaching and I expect there to be great deals available on the Fenix 7, which is an excellent watch in its own right, but if you want the latest and greatest Fenix this deal is undoubtedly worth checking right now.
