Have a Fenix 7 Pro solar. It's fantastic for the hills. Managed a good deal via Amazon of £400 a few months ago.
i sleep with it everyday (47mm). dont really notice, but i swapped out original silicone band with nylon band on day one
Had a 265, moved to a 47mm Fenix 7 Pro because I wanted full mapping since I started trail running and MIP display and didn't care about potential new features. Yes, the Fenix units weigh more, but a good chunk of that weight comes from the stock chonky silicone straps. The difference between case-only on my kitchen scale was \~10-13g if I remember correctly. When running, I definitely noticed the additional swing weight on my wrist with the F7 on stock silicone, but don't really notice it now that I have it on a nylon band.
💯 I waited to upgrade my 6s Pro, which was seeing significant battery decline, until the fenix 8 came out. No 8s with MIP, max battery life of like four days?? Ended up buying a 7s Pro at a significant discount and it’s drastically better than the 42mm version of the 8.
I bought last year Fenix 7S Pro, the 8 was 40% more expensive even with the lowest price available online and added discounts.
Fenix 7S Pro as the 42 mm case is perfect for me and has all the sports functions such as all accurate sensors and the premium built quality. Also the price as with the discounts went okay otherwise wanted Fenix 8 43mm!
For sports the best is Fenix probably not the newest ones but for example 7 Pro

I have the same and it's bulky AF. I still love it, but it's thicc. Forerunners are much flatter and sit better
