Runners, road runners, who occasionally go wild; currently run about one to two hours a week on Wednesdays, running at 100-200km/month; occasional cycling (but basically abandoned after being a dad), summer swimming; gym haters, occasionally doing some simple aerobic and strength exercises at home.

After taking running as a daily habit, there are several brands of sports watch use experience, the earliest can be traced back to The Periteng, which has stopped doing sports watches, to Songtuo ambit2, to the Apple generation, and then to Jiaming;

Garmin products This is the third (fenix3HR-5-7), but also the three sports watches used recently, that is to say, after entering the Garmin home, all aspects are quite satisfied, did not transfer out. Apple watch used a generation, really can't stand the daily charging frequency of traveling and forgetting to take the charging cable to waste, and it has been out for a few months without any attempt;

The product is purchased for self-purchase and has no product interest;

Non-professional evaluation media, only ordinary individual users;

Recently saw Amazon overseas fenix7 in Zhang Dama is still quite hot, not a small price difference is also heartwarming, so this article mainly from the perspective of an ordinary user to talk about the main use of the feeling, to you entangled in the national bank or sea tao of you to see if the value is worth spending nearly double the difference in the purchase of the bank version, but also to you have an upgrade or into the pit Garmin idea as a reference.

Put the conclusions (not in order of those imaginary ones) in front

If you are struggling with the following points before purchasing, based on my own experience of use, the conclusion is first said:

  • After the overseas version of fenix has supported Chinese, the advantages of the national bank version visible to the naked eye are only dual-frequency multi-star and sapphire faces (curious foreigners do not consider the bumps on the surface), and exclusive NFC and two-dimensional code payment functions;
  • The dual-frequency multi-satellite positioning system can indeed bring about an improvement in positioning accuracy, but errors cannot be avoided in the occlusion environment. If you are not in the pursuit of that little extreme trajectory accuracy improvement, it is not recommended to upgrade the equipment in your hands for this upgrade;
  • In my own experience, sapphire can be repeatedly bumped in the outdoor and daily use scenes with no traces on the surface, which is still of some value, but it does not seem to be good enough to spend thousands more;
  • With the current open use scenarios, NFC and payment QR codes can only be regarded as better than nothing.

Begin

Fenix7 after the release of January is actually not a big wave, because it seems that the upgrade has not poked my pain points, fenix5 has been used normally, stable and reliable has not produced any demon son. Later, looking at the 7 unique dual-frequency multi-star positioning of the running roadmap posted by the review blogger, it was slightly shocked by the accuracy (in fact, it was to find an excuse to burn the equipment), and after thinking about it for two days, I still couldn't bear to place an order. It has been used for two months from the beginning of February to now.

appearance

Fenix5 used for 5 years

The previous fenix5 was selected as a stainless steel sapphire version, because the card watch of the DLC had been used, and it was felt that the DLC was not scratch-resistant and less impact-resistant, and the metal color also looked more Sven, and the work would not be particularly abrupt. Fenix5's stainless steel ring has traces, take the polishing rod to polish a few times, so many years down there are no major traces. Originally wanted to continue to choose the metal color, did not expect that in this generation in China has become only black circle optional, to experience the dual-frequency multi-satellite system is only titanium coated flagship version, did not have to choose (in fact, I still envy the stainless steel version on Amazon).

Interjecting digressions, it took a while to find that the domestic team elite version and the flagship version of the color matching are a little different, the elite version of the confirmation key armor is red, the flagship version is black and black. In my wife's words, "a middle-aged man does not know what nerves to send when exercising, clothes and shoes are not complaining, usual clothes are black and gray, sportswear sneakers are a bunch of bright yellow powder", yes, sports equipment must be riotous. I didn't expect that in this generation of fenix, there was no way but to choose the most low-key all-black color, and I couldn't get even the only little bit of commotion.

The position of the bezel screws changed, and fenix became less fenix

The biggest change in the appearance of this generation of fenix is that the few screws on the bezel are changed to the position of the lugs from the beginning of 3. I actually feel that there is no taste of the suit thug before, the rough feeling of adding a few screws in the refinement that was only available on fenix before, and I like the sense of conflict (personally I feel that the appearance of fenix5/5 plus generations is the best look, basically straight-faced and angular, and a few large screws are very special. 6 added a little arc and also softened a little). The bezel design of the fenix7 really has a sense of indifference. Only the letters and patterns inscribed on the bezel can show a hint of refinement that is better than nothing.

The wearing effect of the wrist circumference of 16cm

My wrist is not thick, the thickest position of the wrist joint is only 16cm in a circle, and I actually feel that I can't hold it when I use fenix3. It feels like the 47mm is still slightly larger.

Black vs stainless steel natural color metal band

Strap 22mm, quickfit interface, and garmin other common. Fenix5 used a few years to have a strap left. At that time, there was another reason for wanting to choose the silver ring, this stainless steel strap is probably the only one in the world, because at that time garmin's metal strap was only stainless steel coated gray-black, and it took a while to feel that it was really incompatible with the body of fenix5, and it took a few days to slowly grind off the front plating with sandpaper (quite time-consuming, the back was lazy to improve and still retain the black coating, which is a two-color belt).

Steel strap and black dial, that's quite conflicting

I didn't expect the back one to be used again. I decided to keep this stainless steel, in case I change it again... However, I have to say that garmin's pricing on accessories is really fierce, in order to match this black and into a black titanium DLC metal belt, light is a little lighter, but the price is really let me tangled for a long time. And the strap is really easy to scratch, and now there are obvious scratches.

Weight comparison of several different material straps

Off-topic, if you need to be light, it is recommended that the Ma family find this kind of woven Velcro tape, I have more than a dozen dollars, light and easy to use, adjust the length of the running belt at will without shaking. It is more troublesome to replace each time and it is best to clean it every time. However, in the face of price, these are not disadvantages.

Concise and clear, with basic information. The ability to get the latest notification messages on your phone reduces the number of times you pick up your phone.

The fenix7 series still uses the mip screen that has always been used. The reason why the Amoled screen of EPIX, which is basically the same for other hardware, is because in most of my usage scenarios, for me to see clearly during the day and the endurance I value more. I don't particularly care about fancy screens, and even all along I have been using this time to see clearly, basic data has a good system with its own dial, and I have not used those third-party dials that are full of data.

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

The screen is noticeably yellowish and has low contrast. The shooting environment is not natural light, and the photo has a little bit of white balance is not accurate. The actual naked eye effect is still relatively close to the picture.

However, the solar panels that cover the screen cause a noticeable reduction in screen contrast, and the screen is visibly yellowed to the naked eye. The daytime impact is not too large, but next to or at night without lights, the lower contrast causes the visibility of the screen to be significantly lower than that of fenix5, which has the same conclusion as the non-solar version of the friend's fenix6. The clarity of the screen This is a clear advantage of the non-solar version.

There is also the solar panels on the outer edge of the screen, which will appear obviously red at a certain angle, some people say that it is particularly ugly, I think it is OK, but in order not to be too prominent, I have turned the words on the dial red. Red plus black personally feel OK.

nfc & payment function

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

The nearly crippled nfc function has been found to have no other use than the traffic card, and even the access control card of the community cannot be simulated. The use of this Beijing interchange card in other cities is unknown.

The nfc function may be that the use method is not right so far has not been used successfully, in the mobile app binding interface can only be bound to the Beijing what pass bus card, and then used in the list of cities in the bus system. I bound one, and deliberately tried it at the subway gate in Guangzhou, but the daily reach machine was unresponsive, and later found that it seemed that before each use, I had to call up the shortcut on the watch by long pressing the button in the upper left corner, open the wallet first, enter the set payment password, and then use it close to the nfc device for a period of time (this is not too sure, because there is no second test). And used to watch with left hand, the general toll machine is on the right, it is not as convenient as directly brushing the mobile phone, did not try again (almost forgot that there is a balance above can be returned).

Garmin's nfc function is also very confusing, before I remember that there are several banks that support adding to nfc payment, now I don't know why nfc is only open to bus cards. Access control cards and the like are also not supported.

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

The payment interface can use the touch screen to enter the password, which is quite convenient.

You can also bind Alipay and WeChat like other bracelets, and you need a password for the first time on the same day, and then you can wear it continuously on the same day without entering the password. You can detach from your phone while using it. This can be used normally as long as the merchant can scan the code. When you open the payment interface, the watch will automatically activate high brightness. In the outdoor sports this function is still convenient at the time. For example, when running a mountain, you are accustomed to receiving your mobile phone in your backpack, so you don't have to take out another mobile phone. But many small shops need you to scan his QR code, then there is no way.

Daily use

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

The net weight of the watch body is 49g, and the attached silicone tape is 20g, and the subjective feeling is not heavy. As a reference I remember that the body weight of the 945 is 39g, and the weight of the fenix7 Elite edition is 59g. However, I can't feel accurately, after all, I am also a person who has completed the whole horse with a 150g running table, and I am not sensitive to the weight on my wrist.

(Here do not put the picture, lazy to record and turn, know that the touch screen operation in each interface is smooth enough on it)

One of the more important points of this upgrade is the addition of touch screens. To be honest, after a few days of experience, I turned off the touch screen function. The first is because the logic of garmin's system and the five buttons is clear enough, and after using the habit of using it for a long time, it does not feel the need to improve the efficiency of use through additional interactive methods. Another is because the size of the dial is a little difficult to control in the process of sliding up and down, and it often appears that you want to slide up one or two lines but exceed it, and you have to slide a few more times in the opposite direction, and the efficiency is low. Personally think that the interaction "efficiency" on the smart watch is an important experience, in addition to the buttons (including the rotating crown on the Apple watch), Samsung's way of rotating the bezel is also a very efficient one, but the limited screen size touch screen is not a good solution.

So although the interface of the system is smooth enough when sliding, and deliberately tried to use the screen when it is wet, the sweat during exercise and the light rain outdoors should not affect the use, I still turned off this function.

In addition, I don't know if it is the quality control problem of the first batch of products, the five buttons of my piece can only be said to be very general, and it is the kind of feeling between the buttons that there is a difference, one or two are pressed down there will be a clear clicking sound, and there are several that are relatively soft in the end there is no sound feedback and dynamic change. What's more divine is that the feel may change at different times or after a few more presses, which is a bit random. Some friends said that after the large-scale supply will improve this problem, for reference.

The interface that is used the most in daily life, quickly glance at the brief content of the notification on the mobile phone, and determine whether to open the mobile phone operation (in other words, the push frequency of Zhang Dama is also really high, and the first place in the screenshot is Zhang Dama's).

Others seem to be like this, as if it has been complained about is not a smart watch but has always been called a smart watch, the interaction with the mobile phone is only to display notifications, there is no other real sense of the app to install (garmin's own IQ platform so-called app is really difficult to say), and so on these are still the original garmin. Consumers who want to see a smarter evolution on this generation are disappointed. However, my expectations for watch reminders have not exceeded telling me that I have new messages or phone calls to reduce the number of times I open the phone, or add relatively low-frequency applications such as daily alarms, so I can basically meet my needs on fenix, thinking that when the freshness is still there, I have not really replied to WeChat on The Apple Watch, there is no need to create demand. Of course, bracelet products can also meet this part of the demand, not discussed here.

map

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

The content of the map is still quite rich, but limited by the size of the screen, it is not easy to see the roads and other information of the city map clearly.

There are really not many use cases for maps. City run bar, in the familiar place can not be used at all, in the strange city bar, mobile phone to see the map whether it is easy to operate or the operation that requires navigation is much stronger than the watch. If it is off-road, in fact, the general city map is not very useful, and the practical value of contour maps is greater. However, after consulting garmin's customer service, due to regulatory restrictions, the official currently does not provide contour maps. (Supplement: Seeing that Gao chi can provide contour maps, I don't know if it is because garmin is a foreign company, anyway, this is not as good as Gao Chi)

I have downloaded the unofficial contour map on the Internet, and anyway, there is no contour line information in Guangzhou Mountain and Maofeng Mountain, which are already high points.

In scenarios where navigation is required, such as trail running or long-distance hiking, fenix can plan the route on the garmin connect platform first, and then import the watch, and then use the navigation function in most outdoor activities. It is worth mentioning that even if the watch does not support maps, such as flying 3 flying 5, it can also use the route navigation normally, but the navigation interface does not have map content and can only display the planned path and the current anchor.

Endurance (battery)

More focused (limited) features lead to better endurance.

Because the endurance of the original fenix5 has always been quite satisfied, even if it has been used for four or five years, the battery has been depleted, according to my use intensity, three to four hours of outdoor exercise per week (GPS + Beidou) plus daily continuous wearing, once a week recharge less than 20% of the battery. So far fenix5 sport mode to open GPS consumes about 8-9% per hour of power, if you use long-endurance ultratrack mode about 3-4% per hour power consumption. Even if it is a three- or four-day business trip, you can safely go without a charging cable without electricity, and maintain indoor or outdoor sports records during the business trip. This is a big reason why I've been using garmin.

Therefore, I did not pay special attention to the endurance of fenix7 before purchasing, but the endurance of fenix7 was actually used to give a small surprise.

I think that unless it is the frequency that apple watches (for example, not specifically), which has to be charged one or two days a day, the use of this sports watch purely means how many days on standby or how much time to continuous outdoor exercise, because between the two charging cycles will definitely span daily use and sports use. Therefore, I can't say how much time this watch can actually stand by or continuously exercise, plus this time the official is still quite hard to publicize the solar charging capacity, the time outdoors every day is long and short, can only talk about the subjective endurance feeling.

My usage habits are set, all-day happiness rate (if you want sleep monitoring data and the like must be happy on fenix7), blood oxygen off, connect the phone to receive notifications (hundreds of messages every day), daily notification vibration reminder exercise process vibration plus sound reminder, daily and sports in the sunset after the wrist to light the screen for 4 seconds. As an office social animal, the daily state from Monday to Friday is rarely outdoors, and the help of solar energy to battery life is almost equal to zero except for outdoor exercise on weekends. The use of these two months down the general daily power consumption of about 2-3%, feel just daily use (do not need to work on the movement record of the positioning system) then the monthly charge is completely OK.

To see how long a full charge can last in the integrated state, it was charged to 99% on March 17. These days, the hand has not been taken off, and by April 7, the remaining 1% indicates that the battery is extremely low and the system cannot perform routine operations. During this full 21 days the heart rate and Bluetooth are turned on, and the night into sleep mode heart rate Bluetooth even the phone and the like will not be disconnected. All the activities recorded through the watch during this period are as follows:

This full endurance period records all sports, including outdoor and indoor sports.

Among them, indoor sports do not require positioning work, so the records of outdoor sports are taken out separately and counted:

Recorded statistics of outdoor running during the period.

The weather in Guangzhou around the Qingming Festival was very bad, so there were several consecutive periods of time without going out to exercise. Under such a premise, the full power was given three weeks of use time, and more than ten hours and nearly 100 kilometers of outdoor sports trajectory were recorded. I am very satisfied with this endurance.

Because it is estimated that the remaining power is not enough to support the outdoor sports record of about two hours in the last two days, in order to squeeze out the last bit of power, we also tried the ultratrac positioning mode that claims to greatly improve the endurance. From the relative power consumption is indeed strong, the comprehensive estimate in this mode of the actual endurance can reach about 50 hours (in fact, the last record of the number shows that only 1% of the power is used, because it is also synchronized with the mobile phone to the exercise record and dropped the 1% of the electricity), 100 kilometers can climb to the end of the worry-free

。 (Positioning accuracy put back together)

Through a limited number of loose activities comparison, overall, solar energy for the improvement of endurance seems to be a little, but on the basis of the original very good feeling is not so obvious. Therefore, it is not recommended to worry about whether or not to have solar energy when choosing different versions.

I have been seeing in other reviews that the multi-dual-frequency multi-satellite positioning that is evaluated as "greatly increasing power consumption" does not seem to be particularly high in my actual use process.

At the last time of this test, after the synchronization of data, this interface appeared.

Show you this interface. It is estimated that many Jiaming multi-users have not seen this interface. When the battery is used to 1%, the "extremely low battery" prompt will appear, and the normal operation has been invalidated. If it weren't for such an extreme operation, I would never have seen it. (Glanced at the Apple watch user next to it.)

In order to test whether the solar energy can be in the end, I once put the balcony for half a day.

Plug in one, once tested whether the solar energy really played a direct charging effect, sun for half a day, the result found that there is no charge of 1% of the electricity. Garmin you could say this new panel is strong, but I don't quite believe it

Positioning system

Dual-frequency multi-star is the main driving force for this upgrade of fenix7, and I have also seen the evaluation of the EPIX of the light-year god in the station before, and the performance under the dual-frequency multi-star positioning has also been said in detail. There are also other gods in the station who have a detailed trajectory comparison, you can find it to see.

I'll also briefly summarize the experience: if you want to pursue high-precision trajectory recording, it is worth starting. But don't improve the effect imagined.

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

The general environment where my outdoor sports start is like this. For reference.

After using dual-frequency positioning compared with the use of GPS mode, there is no significant improvement in the positioning success time before starting the movement, probably within 10-20 seconds from the beginning of the outdoors on the first floor, out of the community can basically show that the positioning has been successful, it may also be because my home is the kind of environment where there are more high-rise buildings around, which is not an ideal environment for initial positioning.

Typical outdoor sports scene 3: almost no shade, the sky is directly visible, and the open air conditions are good

About 60% of the routes I run have trees that obscure a considerable part of the sky. Previously, when using fenix5, although it was not common, there would be random positioning drift in these sections, and sometimes there could be positioning points floating hundreds of meters away, resulting in a rather abnormal segmented pace. Take different equipment in different modes of the same section of the distance to compare, the actual environment is the first photo above, overhead trees are luxuriant, half of the sky is basically invisible (Guangzhou's Binjiang Road zhongda North Gate to Guangzhou Bridge section, the ideal restoration trajectory shape should be a few long-distance smooth arcs):

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

fenix7, ultratrac positioning

Obviously, under the commonly used positioning mode (except ultratrac), the positioning stability of fenix7 is more than a little better than that of the previous two generations. Not only is the accuracy of the recording path high, but the apparent random drift during the recording process is "almost" absent during the two months of use. If you are not satisfied with the accuracy of the trajectory and consider upgrading the product in the front belt, you can consider starting.

But if you compare several modes of fenix7 itself, especially the dual-frequency positioning mode of the National Bank version, it can be said that this is the best gps sports watch with the best recording accuracy, but if the dual-frequency multi-star positioning is compared with the same multi-star positioning system as the international version, the gap between the gap is not large, at least after I compared a few sections that often run to the road section, I feel that the accuracy improvement in exchange for the difference of more than double the price is extremely low (have I been charged IQ tax).

As for the ultratrac positioning mode, it can be seen from the trajectory chart that the frequency of localization sampling is greatly reduced, and then connected to the trajectory, so it is impossible to avoid the loss of detail information within the two-point time interval. It is a good option if the data requirements such as accuracy and interval pace are not high, but the battery life is required to be long.

Some other features

Real-time stamina

As if this is also a new feature of fenix7? If you wear it all day, you initially feel that this estimate is still reliable. In the case of not pulling the extra long distance (30+) this year, the distance that I can generally maintain is about 35km, and the real-time physical exertion is comparable to my own perception. And when the average pace is different, the distance estimate given will be dynamically adjusted. This feature can be used as a reference for practicing LSD.

Including the daily body electricity data, the value given by the watch is still quite consistent with its own feelings. Sometimes when you wake up, you feel very tired, and the body power display on the watch is relatively low, which should be somewhat related to the quality of sleep the previous night.

This feature is still interesting as a reference. When exercising long distances, it should be better to avoid physical strength hitting the wall.

Heart rate testing

There is no heart rate on hand, and it is impossible to make comparisons. But a little mention, this generation of heart rate sensors has a very high sensitivity, removed from the hand for about a second green light to stop flashing, placed on the surface of other materials does not seem to flash the lamp to measure the heart rate. There is no case of recording the heartbeat of the air.

Other exercise records

By the way, let's talk about other sports I often use besides cycling and swimming (you can use underwater heart rate, but you can't test it because the nearby pool is not open).

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

By connecting editing and storing movements on the watch, it is possible to record the movements that are often done more regularly. A few groups a day do not believe in not to die.

Garmin connect can find a lot of strength and aerobic training courses, after sending to the watch can be found in the corresponding sports mode "course", by seeing the action demonstration, follow the training and other functions are quite perfect. If the course on connect feels inappropriate, and you can create or edit it yourself, I believe that the standardized actions on the platform have exceeded most people's understanding of the training actions, which is enough.

Not whole those virtual Garmin FENIX7 two months of real use experience

Casually slipped a few randomly to set a position... For those who never accepted the coach's arrangement, it was like seeing the practice schedule of the acrobatic troupe. However, on connect or on watches, you can see animated action demonstrations.

For example, I usually do several sets of 5-minute HIIT every day, Bobby Jump - Squat - Open and Close Jump - Push-up - Sit-up - Bobby Jump, and in the mode will record the number of times each action is completed. And a bit of a surprise is that the number of hand movements like push-ups, which is not large, is quite accurate. However, such as sit-ups, it is best to follow the demonstration action at the beginning of the timer until the timer is completed, and do not change the hand action more obviously in the middle, such as shaking the hand or changing from the side of the head to the other position, otherwise the counting is likely to stop.

I don't love gyms, but these little features are useful for daily workouts.

As for more exercise patterns, it was beyond my comprehension, and I didn't even read the list. There are some balls that I really haven't even heard of the name

Different from other sports tables

Countless people online have the same question, in addition to the brand premium, why garmin sells so expensive. Apple's heart rate seems to be more accurate (in fact, in the end, is there a brand "more accurate" here is not unfolded), it seems that the function of the domestic watch is also quite full battery life will not be too far away, garmin on what?

Although there are very few rides now, and even the power meter on the bicycle is not available now, I would like to add a little bit of my understanding here.

First of all, the premium of brand and workmanship is definitely there, and the proportion is not low, look at garmin's product line design can understand how many different positioning products Garmin has crossed for products with overlapping functions.

The second and most important thing is ecology.

If you are a pure runner - this should be the identity of most sports enthusiasts at present, after all, the threshold is relatively low equipment requirements - want a sports watch as a recording instrument, so the products on the market should be able to meet your requirements.

However, when you find that you still need data such as route planning, training plans, and scientific maximum oxygen consumption as a reference, a large part of the products on the market are excluded; and then further discover that there are original equipment that can record what touch time, ground time, left and right foot balance these data, it seems that only Garmin and Gao Chi products can be done by adding additional accessories (domestic cattle x) If you want to be better in all aspects of the texture and make you happy, you can also wear a formal outfit, and the range is smaller. Garmin is currently a brand that personally believes that there are product distributions in this circle and the distribution is quite scientific (the distribution here includes both the division of functions between different product lines, of course, the pricing of different products, such as 945-fenix-tactix-marq, how big is the real difference in function?). )。 Your choice is likely to be the result of a brand marketing crowd segmentation.

If you are a multi-sport enthusiast, especially a bicycle, Garmin has a sports watch, Apple Huawei Songtuo Gollar has a sports watch, can be recorded through the watch; Garmin has a code table, Bai Rui Teng Wahoo also has a code table, and other brands with cooler functions and appearances.

But once you look for an intersection, you'll find that the overlap of the hardware is it (of course, data records and the like can also be recorded through different brands of products and then uploaded to different platforms for interoperability and analysis). It's the only thing that can complete your record in an ecosystem. And more importantly, it is also unavoidable for advanced enthusiasts, when you want to practice better through power analysis and cadence analysis, garmin's support for ant+ equipment is basically the strongest echelon on the surface.

Of course, if there is no need for these, or if you don't know what these features are, other products that seem to be functionally identical I believe can already do the functions you want very well, and the cost performance is undoubtedly higher.

At last

My positioning of sports watches is one that I am willing to wear on a daily basis (including aesthetic orientations). Like there were once two mechanical watches, which were defeated by the solar wave card meter and the motion meter, and now they are basically not used), which is reliable when it is on, the recording function is relatively perfect, and it is in line with their own habits. Fenix has always satisfied the above points, and every time I buy it, I feel that this little thing is really not cost-effective, but every time I change it and say goodbye to it, I feel that these years have not let my expectations fall short.

Small Easter eggs

Come and go, if you still see the end, put a small Easter egg for you.

When the fenix7 was received, a small transparent glue was attached next to the charging port on the back of the watch, marked "5V, xxA". But such a casual way of labeling is really ugly, so I tore it off when I got it...

So actually I forgot what the input current marked above is in amperes... It just left me with the impression that this guy is at least a charging speed has improved, because although I have not paid special attention, the charging speed of fenix5 is still quite slow, and it feels like it takes at least two hours to charge completely at a time.

Just this time the complete power is exhausted, let's record the time of the full charge. The use of Xiaomi labeled A port maximum output of 5V3A 30W A A-C dual-port charging head, fenix7 comes with A-port cable. And guess what?

From 1% to 100% in 2 hours and 33 minutes, it doesn't feel like it's getting any faster

Hope the above helps with your choice.
