fēnix® 7S Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition vs Venu 4 41mm
Size, specs & wrist fit compared

Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 43–60mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The fēnix® 7S Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition wears larger than the Venu 4 41mm (42mm vs 41mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Venu 4 41mm is the slimmer of the two (12mm vs 14.1mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Venu 4 41mm feels lighter (33g vs 58g, case only).
Among the 656 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the fēnix® 7S Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition is thicker than 81% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.
The Venu 4 41mm is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 374 41mm watches in the database.
The fēnix® 7S Pro – Sapphire Solar Edition is 1mm wider, 1mm longer, 2.1mm thicker and 25g heavier than the Venu 4 41mm. Both are circular.
