The Garmin Fenix 7X has a flashlight that shines out of the top of the watch case. It contains both red and white LEDs, and can be used to help you see in dark conditions, or to make you more visible to others when you're running at night. Smaller Fenix 7 watches don't have a light. Display Despite its design upgrade, the Fenix 6 doesn’t look hugely different when placed side-by-side with its predecessor, the Fenix 5 Plus.

Fixed an issue where the applied ballistics app could not be launched through the controls menu while running another app. (tactix Delta AB only). Fixed an intermittent issue where the weather widget would fail to load data when connected to an iOS device.

It is really easy to live with and looks the part. A rugged, yet stylish sports watch that states to the outside world: “I do more than just the day job”. Those with smaller wrists will struggle with the 47mm version, but the 42mm version is smaller than many smartwatches. It’s certainly the best Garmin Fenix for women and equally ideal for anyone who feels that the larger case size of Fenix watches is too bulky on the wrist.At the end of each workout, you'll be able to see how your time was split between different heart rate zones (Image credit: TechRadar) Battery life
