The only exception being the watch faces that say ‘Fenix Pro’ or ‘Epix Pro’ on them. Garmin typically sees these upgrades as largely incremental, rather than a major new product series.Īs such, all of the new software features will also be seen on the existing Fenix 7 series and Epix units. This means that it maintains the existing Fenix 7 branding, but is now the Fenix 7 Pro (and not branded something like the Fenix 8). Historically speaking, anytime Garmin adds a ‘Pro’ or ‘Plus’ branding to an existing product, it means that it’s an in-between product cycle.

These include Garmin’s fancier AMOLED display, as well as also featuring a flashlight across all models. Of course, it’s not just the new Fenix 7 Pro series that’s been announced today, but also the new three-sized Epix Pro units as well. In addition to those hardware upgrades, the Fenix 7 Pro series also gains a new optical heart rate sensor package and updated MIP display for better low-light conditions, plus a few new software metrics, including a Hill Score and Endurance Score. Sure, there’s still the fancier sapphire-crystal models if you want them, but the only difference between the different Fenix 7 Pro series units are the cosmetic/material differences (or battery between sizes), not features or functions internally. And atop that, every model now has multiband GNSS/GPS, and every model has 32GB of storage. With the new Fenix 7 Pro series, all three size Fenix 7 Pro units include a flashlight. If you wanted a Fenix 7 series device with the flashlight of the Fenix 7X series, you’ve finally got your wish.
