Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 54mm, the Fenix 7 Pro Solar is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 49mm, where the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 51mm starts to hang over the edge. Above 54mm both sit cleanly, and the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 51mm gives you more presence.
The Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 51mm wears larger than the Fenix 7 Pro Solar (51mm vs 47mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
On the wrist the Fenix 7 Pro Solar feels lighter (79g vs 88g, case only).
Among the 48 51mm watches we hold thickness for, the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 51mm is thinner than 90%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
