Fenix 7

Pros

• A refurbished fenix 7.
• On my fenix 7, I was like, “cool, this may be useful here and there”. EDC flashlights because I work at night at times and my watch’s light has been way more handy and less gimmicky than expected
• Fenix 7 or epix 2 pro are plenty enough for what you're trying to do, if you want to make the reasonable decision.
• i'm well aware this is a huge upgrade, but i'm not sure i should keep it, even if they sent it to me.
• Parent context: The Epix 2 Pro seems to be the most compelling out there for the money. I am not sure I want to go back to a MIP display but the Fenix 7 is a very nice watch for sure. Reply: I appreciate your suggestions. The Epix 2 Pro...

Cons

• Try finding a Fenix 7 or Epix 2 in your local marketplace, look at different sizes to broaden your search.
• I can’t think I’m missing any stats/data that were on the Fenix 7 that I killed earlier in the year
• Parent context: The Fenix 8 microled is better, since you asked if anything is better Reply: I’ve had one for about 4 weeks now. It’s very similar to my old Fenix 7 in terms of available stats and battery life. Looks a lot nicer as wel...
• I'd suggest looking at the Forerunner 255, 265 and 570 and the 955 through 970; at the Instinct 2 and 3, and at the Fenix 7 if price is an object.
• For the record, I never had much luck with solar charging on a Fenix 5 & 7. Even on 2 hr runs outside in the sun it really only added 3-5% if I recall correctly.
