Garmin Fenix 7 £519.99, garmin.com A durable do-it-all adventure watch, this is the best GPS sports watch now with added solar staying power
Garmin has cemented its Fenix series as the top choice for serious athletes in need of a serious tracking tool. And with dedicated sports profiles for a huge number of disciplines from HIIT to hiking - plus a whole range of training metrics fed by its arsenal of sensors, the Fenix 7 stays true to that template.
Rated for up to 89 hours of battery life with full GPS enabled, the Fenix 7 is equipped to go the distance - and then some. Power Manager offers granular fine-tuning to eke the very most out of every charge. Opt for the top-spec 7X Solar edition and it'll refuel from the sun.
Built for bossing almost any sport, the Fenix 7 is as handy at tracking daily wellness as it is at providing real-time stamina estimates. Support for contactless payments and offline Amazon Music mean this durable ticker is no connected dum-dum, while support for TOPO maps makes it a navigational powerhouse.
The only fly in this capable ointment? The sizeable price tag puts the Fenix 7 firmly into premium territory. But if your budget stretches (and your pursuits demand it), this is the ultimate combo of tracking smarts and sporting endurance.
