You are citing a legal disclaimer that Garmin wrote for liability, rather than factual data on how the sampling rate actually functions. In my experience, the watch takes readings continuously at about 1-2 times per second at rest. During activities, that rate probably increases.
Good point bro, don't have F7 Pro SS but the Fenix 7X Solar Sapphire with the Forester watch face on too! Until the Fenix 9 or 10, I think we can take advantage of these watches offer for now
[Fenix 7X pro sapphire solar](https://www.cabelas.com/p/garmin-fenix-7x-pro-sapphire-solar-titanium-multisport-gps-smartwatch) can be had for around $500 or [$425](https://www.scuba.com/p-grmf7xpwgb/garmin-fenix-7x-pro-solar-51mm-gps-smartwatch-slate-gray-with-black-band) for the non sapphire glass version which is pretty great considering the only major advantages the Fenix 8 ($1k+) has is diving capability and phone calling.

Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar with the stock silicon band. Can be disinfected easily if needed, has taken an absolute beating, and the battery lasts a solid week even with tracking twice-a-day workouts.
This is the reason i gave up on Garmin. I had a 7X Pro SS and when i saw that they abandoned my model, gatekeeping features for the sake of segregation, i called it quits.
The AWU2 has been perfect and besides the battery life, i get everything i need. I’m not an endurance athlete or anything of the sorts so 2 days of battery life is more than enough for me (2 days in full usage).
Garmin are crazy and assholes, at the same time, with their prices and practices.
Same. I don’t mind a small watch watch jus giving me turn by turn hints or audio queues. But no fking way I’m visually scrutinizing a map on my wrist..
are you guys not Apple users? I’ve owned two garmin watches and an Apple Watch and I’d still choose an Apple Watch any day.
That said, if map navigation is a priority while biking, nothing beats the ergonomics of having a garmin bike computer on mounted your bike. But you loose the versatility with that choice.

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
