Hi all,

I’m considering buying the Garmin fēnix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar GPS, 47mm, Grey/Black for £379.

For those who own one, or have recently upgraded from/to it: is it still worth buying in 2026 at that price?

I’d mainly use it for general fitness tracking, running, gym workouts, hiking/walking, health metrics, GPS, battery life, and everyday smartwatch use. I’m not too bothered about having the absolute newest model, but I do want something that will still feel solid for the next few years.

A few things I’m wondering:

Is £379 a good deal for the Sapphire Solar version?

How does it hold up now compared with newer Garmin models?

Are there any major drawbacks I should know about?

Would you buy it again in 2026, or spend more on something newer?

Thanks in advance.
