Any links to online stores should be assumed to be affiliates. The company or PR agency provides all or most review samples. They have no control over my content, and I provide my honest opinion.
A familiar trend with Garmin, they put all their brand new products live on their website before the official announcement and embargos lift.
The Garmin Fenix 7 and Garmin Epix 2 are now both live on the website.
At the moment, there is no word of the Garmin Fenix 7S.
Further Reading: Garmin Epix Gen 2 is available to buy now on Garmin from £799.99

Whats New?
We already knew most of the information from all the leaks.
Real Time Stamina
Use this data to track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike.
Multi-Band Frequency support on the Sapphire edition
With the Sapphire edition, get superior accuracy using technology previously only available to the military. Access multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites for improved position accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically don’t penetrate.
Health Snapshot
The product page doesn’t say anything about this but I assume it is a screen with an overview of your health.
Realtime Settings Sync with Garmin Connect Mobile & On Device Connect IQ Store
One of the big changes is that the watch should be much easier to use and manage. You can now access the Connect IQ store from the watch itself.
You can also manage all the settings via the Garmin Connect Mobile app and sync them to the watch.
VO2 MAX for Trail Running
I know a few people that will appreciate this. In the past, trail running could mess up your VO2 Max readings due to the increased effort at a slower pace. Now it is separate.
Up Ahead
Get at-a-glance awareness for selected POI checkpoints ahead. View performance metrics, split times and distance/elevation — plus a summary of key trail points coming up.
Other New Features
- Tournament Legal
- HITT Workout
- Pairs with Garmin Gold App
Maps & Storage
It is worth noting that there is a bit of a change with the maps and storage
Sapphire models have 32 GB of storage and are pre-loaded with worldwide topoactive maps. Non-sapphire has 16GB, and is only pre-loaded with the topoactive maps for your region.
