FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the Fenix 7S and the standard Fenix 7?
A: The Fenix 7S features a smaller 42 mm case diameter and 1.2-inch display compared to the standard Fenix 7's 47 mm case and 1.3-inch display. The 7S is designed for smaller wrists whilst maintaining the same advanced multisport GPS functionality, training features and rugged construction. Battery life varies slightly due to the smaller size, with the 7S offering up to 11 days in smartwatch mode.
Q: Is the Garmin Fenix 7S suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, the Fenix 7S is water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 metres) and includes dedicated swimming activity profiles for pool and open-water swimming. The watch tracks distance, pace, stroke count and SWOLF score. It is suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling and water sports, though it is not designed for scuba diving or high-velocity water activities.
Q: How do I charge the Garmin Fenix 7S and how long does the battery last?
A: The Fenix 7S charges via the included Garmin proprietary USB charging cable that attaches magnetically to the watch back. Battery life extends up to 11 days in smartwatch mode, up to 37 hours in GPS mode, and up to 57 hours in GPS mode with UltraTrac battery saver. Actual battery life varies based on usage, settings and enabled features such as Pulse Ox monitoring and smartphone connectivity.
Q: Can I replace the strap on the Fenix 7S?
A: Yes, the Fenix 7S uses Garmin's QuickFit 20 mm watch band system, allowing tool-free strap changes in seconds. You can choose from a wide range of QuickFit 20 mm bands including silicone, nylon, leather and metal bracelets. Visit our Mall of the South boutique to view available strap options and receive assistance with sizing and fitting.
Q: Does the Fenix 7S require a smartphone to function?
A: No, the Fenix 7S functions as a standalone GPS multisport watch with full activity tracking, navigation and health monitoring capabilities without a smartphone connection. However, pairing with the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone unlocks additional features including smart notifications, automatic activity uploads, software updates, Garmin Pay setup and Connect IQ downloads for custom watch faces and apps.
Q: What training metrics does the Fenix 7S provide?
A: The Fenix 7S delivers advanced training metrics including Training Status (assessing if you're training productively, peaking or overreaching), VO2 max estimates, recovery time recommendations, training load and training effect scores. It also provides performance condition during runs (real-time assessment after 6-20 minutes), PacePro pacing guidance for courses, and ClimbPro ascent planning for climbs. These features help optimise training and prevent overtraining.
Q: Is the Garmin Fenix 7S covered by a warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?

Care Guide
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and display with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth after activities involving sweat, saltwater or dirt. Clean the charging contacts on the watch back regularly to ensure reliable charging.
- Strap Maintenance: Rinse the silicone strap with fresh water after exposure to sweat, chlorine or saltwater. Allow the strap to dry completely before wearing to prevent skin irritation. Clean between the strap and case back weekly to remove accumulated debris.
- Water Resistance: Whilst the Fenix 7S is water-resistant to 10 ATM, avoid operating pushers or touchscreen underwater. Rinse with fresh water after swimming in chlorinated or saltwater pools and dry thoroughly. Do not expose the watch to hot water, saunas or steam, as temperature extremes can compromise seals.
- Display Protection: The always-on display features scratch-resistant materials, but avoid impact with hard surfaces or abrasive materials. Consider applying a screen protector for additional protection during high-impact activities.
- Battery Care: Charge the watch before the battery fully depletes. Store the watch with a 50-80% charge if not using for extended periods. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures during charging or storage, as this can reduce battery longevity.
- Software Updates: Regularly update the watch software via the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Express desktop application to ensure optimal performance, new features and bug fixes.
- Sensor Calibration: Periodically calibrate the altimeter and compass sensors for accurate readings, particularly after travelling to different elevations or regions. Follow the calibration procedures in the Garmin user manual.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the Fenix 7S in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing in humid environments that could promote corrosion.
- Professional Servicing: For battery replacement, technical issues or software troubleshooting, contact Cassims & Co. for authorised Garmin service support rather than attempting repairs yourself.
