quatix® 7X – Solar Edition — Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition fit my wrist?
The Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition looks balanced on flat wrist widths of roughly 54–73mm (about 14.4–19.5cm circumference). Drag the slider above to check it against your own measurement.
What size band does the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition take?
26mm. Any 26mm strap fits, so you are not limited to Garmin's own bands — look for a quick-release fitting if you want to swap without tools.
How long does the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition battery last?
Between 16 hours and 90 days per charge, depending on the power mode. Garmin rates Battery Saver at 90 days and All Satellite Systems + Music at 16 hours; the chart above lists all 8 modes.
How does the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition battery compare with other Garmin watches?
At 28 days in everyday use it ranks #32 of the 257 Garmin watches in our database — the top 12% of the range. The full ranking, including GPS and power-saving figures, is on our Garmin battery life comparison.
Is the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition thick for a 51mm watch?
At 14.9mm, thinner than 88% of 51mm watches, so it slides under a cuff more easily than most of its size. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.
What other watches are the same size as the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition?
Huawei Watch D, Omega Seamaster Chrono-Quartz, Tissot Lepine Mechanical all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin quatix® 7X – Solar Edition's 51mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
