Well the “app-setup” is nice, and the new “recognize pauses on intervals” and stamina. We’ll see if there’s a F7 sapphire solar in the future :)
Hefty price though 😱

There's already a F7 Sapphire Solar :-) but maybe only in the X size, as I didn't look at the smaller ones.

They have it in the 7s too which is what I’m coveting 😬

Question for those who Know garmin strategies with new releases as I have bought the 6s but not until a while after release and all previous watches were 2nd hand.

Is the price likely to drop on the new 7 in the next few months? Or will it be Black Friday type deals at the earliest?

I am very tempted but would be annoyed at myself if I jumped in now then 3 months down the line offers started appearing.

Thanks 😊 and I know it’s probably like asking how long is a piece of string

I doubt there will be many discounts on the higher spec ones before next autumn unless the market decides they are over-priced. For a start they will need to clear out all the F6 stock so they'll need to make those look really good value by keeping the 7s high.

Having read through some of the detail if I had some spare cash I probably would upgrade to a 7 for a few features - battery life, in-app configuration, and a few minor things I find annoying on the F6X that have been improved. I have no spare cash and the F6 is still an excellent device.

Thanks flanker that was my thought but then I haven’t done this early before I got the 6s when John Lewis had a promotion on and everywhere else it was still full price.

I almost went for the solar last year waited for Black Friday but talk of the 7 coming I didn’t figuring if it wasn’t that much different I’d get the 6 solar as it would price drop.

There are enough improvements to think sod it life’s too short and interest free £20-£25 a month I won’t miss and will sell mine and that will pay it off quicker too.

Then I think I don’t need another watch the 6 is already more than I need 🙀😖😂
