Comparison of the previous model fēnix 6 and fēnix 7

When a smartwatch is remodeled to a new model, it is natural to upgrade the basic functions, such as improving the accuracy of the map, knowing more accurate location information, and improving the performance of the heart rate sensor. is done in
Here, we would like to introduce the major improvements and new functions that have been added to the previous model , fēnix 6 , and the new model, fēnix 7 .

(For example, the number of heart rate sensors has been changed from 4 to 6)

change in design

Let's start with the design.



Regarding the size of the case, it is easy to understand when comparing it side by side with fēnix 6 , but it is almost the same size.



Also, solar charging is done using a glass disc, but the bezel is thinner than the old model in order to increase the area of ​​​​the solar cell.

In order to increase durability, we have adopted a "metal button guard" and metal reinforced lugs from this time, and combined with the narrowed bezel, it gives a very cool and stylish impression.

In fēnix 6 , only button operation was possible, but with this version upgrade, it supports button operation + touch screen .
The combination of button operation to prevent malfunction during sports activities and the touch screen makes it more intuitive to use.

Greatly improved solar charging performance

After checking the solar function, compared to the conventional fēnix 6 ,
The solar charging function has greatly improved .

In smartwatch mode of fēnix 6X
It was about 21 days (normal charging) + about 3 days (solar charging) ,

In smartwatch mode of fēnix 7X ,
About 28 days (normal charging) + about 9 days (solar charging) ,
Solar charging has greatly improved over the past.

In addition, the conventional solar glass was normal glass, but from this time it has evolved to sapphire glass , so durability has increased.

* If exposed to light of 50,000 lux for 3 hours every day for 1 week outdoors, it can be charged for a total of about 24 hours (smartwatch mode).

Equipped with AMOLED display

This is only for epix , but for the first time in Phoenix's design, a model equipped with a beautiful color AMOLED display has appeared.

* AMOLED (active matrix organic EL) is a type of organic EL display that uses organic light emitting diodes (OLED) as display elements, and uses the active matrix method for the drive method.

Download map

In fēnix 6 , the map data was already installed in the product, but in fēnix 7 it became possible to download additional data later like a topping.

A new world map has been added, and a detailed road map of Japan and a mountain climbing topographic map of Japan can be downloaded separately in all sizes.

Other changes in basic functions

4th generation optical heart rate monitor improves accuracy

Six sensors with higher accuracy monitor your heart rate variability 24 hours a day. ( fēnix 6 was 4 sensors)

It provides various indicators along with the analysis of Firstbeat (first beat), and by grasping the state of the body numerically, it can lead to further performance improvement.
