Garmin quietly launched two additions to its lineup earlier this month – the Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) and the Fenix 7X Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi). These smartwatches are now available in North America. Both the Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) and the Fenix 7X Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) models come in a sleek Slate Gray with a Black Band, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the standard versions. The watches come in 3 different case sizes – 42mm, 47mm, and 51mm. Both of them offer built-in flashlights to help you in need. And the Fenix 7X Pro (No Wi-Fi) can even last up to 37 days on a single charge.
The Fenix 7 Pro and 7X Pro Solar Edition
No Wi-Fi models are very similar to the Wi-Fi-enabled Garmin Fenix 7 Pro
Series. That being said, the key difference between them lies in the absence of
certain features, including the Outdoor Maps+ subscription-based map content,
the ability to directly download TopoActive maps to the wearable, and the
ability to stream music via apps like Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music.
Notably, the ECG app, which tracks signals
related to heartbeats and aids in detecting signs of atrial fibrillation
(AFib), is also missing from the No Wi-Fi wearables. Surprisingly, these No
Wi-Fi smartwatches are priced similarly to their Wi-Fi-enabled counterparts. The
Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) is now available for US$ 799.99 and
CA$ 1,079.99 in the United States and Canada respectively. The Fenix 7X Pro
Solar Edition (No Wi-Fi) is available at a retail price of US$ 899.99 and
CA$ 1,219.99. However, the availability of these new models in other regions
remains uncertain.
