Beyond the Basics: How to use & customize your fenix® 7 Pro, epix™ Pro & Enduro 2

[@johntrussell7228]

I love that Garmin gives us so much control to literally do anything we want on these watches. Most people have no idea how powerful these devices actually are.

[@joby602]

They are more powerful than we can possibly imagine.

[@Craigeek]

I just bought my first Garmin Watch, a Fenix 7 Pro and this video was probably the most insightful video I've seen on setting up different aspects of the watch. Thanks!

[@Sinasi08]

Have been using my Epix Pro Gen 2 (47mm titanium) for almost 3 months and I love it!! What a fantastic tool!

[@philcordwell9123]

i have had my Epix pro gen 2 47 mm for a couple of weeks now, still getting to grips with it.. i need to find some better straps as the i hate ones that the strap looses the lugs.. i dont miss my apple watch at all...

[@serendipityguy]

Most comprehensive Epix Pro Video to date!!! Loads of tips with explanations to learn, nuggets of knowledge here!!!

[@bsmukler]

This is a great in-depth introductory video. I hope Garmin will consider producing something similar when major firmware updates are released, letting users get an overview of the changes.

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

Garmin devices are world class good. Solidly made. Durable. Lasts forever. They are also masters of battery life, especially on devices with solar.

[@janorolin8622]

What a great in-depth video with many features described. This is much better than reading the manual. Thanks a lot Garmin.

[@BobInVT]

I have an Instinct 2 but this was still an incredibly useful video. I thought I was pretty experienced at this point, but still learned lots of useful tips for customizing activities and data fields. And that bit about displaying the data fields on the watch while changing them in the app on your phone... Very handy!

[@Gseyer1]

Great Video!! I went from several Apple watches to the Garmin. Epic pro 2 sapphire edition!! Almost 7 months! Learning something new all the time. Like around 9:27 in your video. Great info! Use the motocross, e-bike and overland a lot. Now can get info I want.. just wish you could start and stop sleep mode manually. Instead of time. Don’t really have sleep schedule. So when up past bed time you set. Have to keep turning off sleep mode so I can use the watch.

[@abdullahelwan405]

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT BUT I FEEL LIKE SETTINGS CAN BE ALL OVER THE PLACE

This is a great, comprehensive, easy to understand guide. Thank you 👍

[@bissonFamily]

Receiving my Epix Pro tomorrow and this video will be a real help in setting it up. Can't wait!!

[@darriusholt]

How are you liking it?

[@bissonFamily]

@@darriusholt Absolutely love it. Choose the 51mm version and it doesn't feel oversized. I have the display set to always on and with 30-60 min activities per day, I easily get 7-9 days of battery. Sleep reporting is accurate and even the flashlight (set to red mode for me at night) has proven very, very useful. 5 stars for sure.

[@leonpatrick5606]

I just purchased this awesome watch, and it almost cost me a wife 😂😅😊 The watch won by a country mile. But seriously it's an amazing watch so far, i came from a G Shock rangeman, so i have a lot to learn about the Garmin fenix 7x pro sapphire solar.

[@fepic]

11 months later …how’s the watch…and the wife?

[@leonpatrick5606]

@fepic Haha, I brought her one to shut her up. I'm still getting a month of use out of the battery if I'm not doing much hiking or hunting, but if I'm doing either I'll get two solid weeks of battery. It glitches out on me a couple of months ago, not to sure why but it rectified itself within a minute or two. Other than that, there have been no issues with it.

Do you have similar video for Instinct (Crossover) series?

[@phillipcolonnelli5320]

[@shotbru]

Is there a way to increase the colour saturation/brightness on the Fenix 7 Pro? My screen seems very dull and colours not bright at all?

[@thatsagoodone8283]

I got the Fenix 7 Pro before a run I took with my company. One thing that i wished it had (not sure if i overlooked the feature): I typed in the course the day before. The watch therefore knew the distance. Would have been cool, if while running, there was an option that shows how much of the distance was either completed or remaining (10% left). As motivation.

[@ngcarsica]

Thank You So Much.

[@abomhmad5196]

I live in the Middle East in the middle of the desert. What is the best model that suits me? The most important feature is determining locations and maps without the Internet.

[@MarekZelek]

So charging to 100% before turning it not required?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. While our smartwatches do come with a partial charge out of the box, we suggest charging for 2 hours before use.

[@Kelberi]

Thanks for video! How do you change heart rate for each zone? Just bought a Fenix 7 pro

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. You can manually adjust your zones on the watch or using your Garmin Connect account. The following links will walk you through the steps of setting your Heart Rate Zones. I hope this helps.

@@GarminRetailTraining unfortunately been there done that.....there is no more 'user settings ' on mobile. And there is no more changeable hr zones. I can only update via percentage. Which complicates the whole process. The connect Web asked for downloading of app? It is a vicious cycle that leads to nowhere.

[@Sozialkompetenz]

There are a ton of great channels out there, DesFit, Chase the Summit and Pascal Marquis Unbox (my personal favourite) ... Now KZbin has decided to finally show me the Garmin Channel 😂 the algorithm at work. I wish I would have found this video earlier. I love the Tactix Delta that I've just bought in a Sale for a steep discount, brand new from a Jeweller . It's so great to finally cut the cord and enjoy a watch without the battery issues of an Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which I also bought recently). I'm amazed what even this 5 year old watch can do. Imagine what future Garmin watches will offer. Don't dump the OLED Display thou, it gives the user so much freedom.

[@stever3979]

Iam looking for a farming watch, i play golf, walk, also i would like to have an altimeter. Do you have any suggestions Thank you

I have recently bought a Garmin Fenix 7 pro saphire solar in white colour, and I like very much the gray watchband this woman is wearing. Which on is it and where I could find it?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. If I understand correctly, you have the Fenix 7 Pro - Sapphire Solar (Titanium with Fog Gray/Ember Orange Band). The band you see in the video is our UltraFit Nylon band. You can find it by clicking on the link below, then click the "Accessories" tab, then click "Bands". The gray band you are looking for is all the way to the bottom of that section.

[@Gamestrack8080]

Is there any way to get current weather update via the GPS location where there is no cell phone connectivity and Wi-Fi access like when hiking or mountain climbing

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, in order to receive weather information through the weather widget: 1) The fenix needs to be paired and connected to the phone through the Garmin Connect App. 2) Your smartphone Bluetooth setting is turned on. 3) Your smartphone Location Services are turned on. With that said, the Fenix 7 has a barometric altimeter - allowing you to monitor changes in weather by keeping tabs on the barometric pressure changes. The following link discusses the Barometer Settings as well as Calibrating the Barometer. I hope this helps. www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-C001C335-A8EC-4A41-AB0E-BAC434259F92/EN-US/GUID-CDC9DDEE-C576-4E1D-B007-BC737686793A.html

Does Stress/Body Battery continue to work if I am connected to an external HR sensor (armband or chest strap) during a long (8-hour) Activity? Or do Stress/Body Battery only work when using the watch’s optical HR sensor?

[@Halv_Turken]

is it possible to change the color of your garmin epix 2 background (not clock face) color

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. No. With the AMOLED display the only color option for the background color is black with the customizable watch faces.

What is the average lifespan of let's say a Fenix pro 7 sapphire? Scared to spend 900 dollars on something that will lose support after a few years.

[@askewg]

I have the Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar and the screen does NOT look as CRISP as these. Is that normal?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

That's a great question! That may be due to using the epix Pro in the making of this video. The epix Pro has an AMOLED display, whereas the fenix 7 Sapphire Solar has an MIP display.

[@montalbano1972]

Garmin should now focus on updating the app for Android, making only one with possibility to have a widget on smartphone android screen to better monitor (as Samsung does for example)

[@richarda3764]

I just wish I could set the default data screen when I'm doing a strength workout on my Epix Pro. Having it default back to the workout overview with the rest timer hidden at the top in between each set is total BS.

[@gavhanmer6254]

How do I get that watch face

[@sarahsundstrom1425]

I'm an older person that's not very techy. But I'm also a long distance hiker that gets out sometimes for many months at a time I wish that you guys had a watch that was just simpler and if you do which one is it? My eyesight isn't that great and I just don't want to spend all my time fiddling around with a watch I'd rather just something rugged simple that tracks miles altitude weather and maps if it was simple to find but I find that nothing on these watches for me is simple so I'm back to just looking at a regular wash for 50 bucks but if you have something that might work for older folks that are still hardcore outsiders I'd love to hear about it! For instance is the instinct 2 easier?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your comments and question. It sounds to me like the Instinct 2 or Instinct 2 Solar would be a great option for you. It doesn't have a lot of the performance and training features, but will give you most of the essentials that you mentioned. The Instinct 2 will not have weather, but it does has a barometric altimeter that will track pressure changes. It also does not have maps. The following link will take you to the Instinct 2 product page so you can see all the features that it has. I hope this helps. www.garmin.com/en-US/p/775697
