The Garmin Fenix E is the basic model of the Fenix smartwatch line. With the Fenix E I measure my sports and health data precisely. The Fenix E has few extra functions compared to other Fenix models, such as a voice assistant, solar charging and a built-in flashlight.
Screen and size The Garmin Fenix E has a bright AMOLED screen. I can easily read all my data on it, even in bright sunlight. The screen of the Fenix E is not as bright as that of the Fenix 8, but it is beautiful. The watch case is robust and thick, just like with all Fenix smartwatches. I think it is a pity that the Fenix E is only available in one size. This means that it is not suitable for everyone. It is now too big for my narrow wrists of 14 centimeters in circumference.
Battery life of 2 weeks An AMOLED screen normally costs a lot of battery. That is why I find it impressive that the battery life of the Fenix E is long, namely 2 weeks. I exercised several times a week with GPS on. That also uses a lot of battery. However, I did indeed use the watch for about 2 weeks before I had to charge it. I know of few other smartwatches that can do this so far.
New sports options in Garmin Coach With the Garmin Coach program, I choose a training program that improves my results. Previously, I could only choose between running and cycling. Now strength training has also been added. I think this is really cool. I like to get some guidance in building more muscle strength. I follow a training program of 4 to 6 weeks for this. Each training consists of different strength exercises. This way I learn which exercises help with muscle building. The other programs have also been expanded with the option 'get fitter'. This means that I do not train for a specific distance or time, but to become generally fitter. This gives me several training sessions to do in a week. That keeps it fun.
Fewer functions The Fenix E is a kind of basic Fenix model. As a result, it lacks functions that, for example, the Fenix 7 (Pro) or Fenix 8 do have. These include solar charging, a voice assistant, a built-in flashlight or speaker. I understand that this is precisely why the Fenix E is a cheaper model. If these functions are not important to you, then the Fenix E is a good option for you. Personally, I especially miss the built-in flashlight. I use it more often than I thought.

The many sports options and functionalities are an enormous added value in the daily use of the watch.

I was looking for a Garmin sports watch that supports the latest software to continue receiving updates for a while. The Fenix 8 is quickly on the expensive side, the Fenix E offers a nice intermediate solution for people who are looking for a sports watch with map functionality with the latest software.
Battery lasts a long time (depending on how much you exercise and listen to music via the watch).
I myself have a wrist circumference of 15-16 cm and this watch is on the large side, but is acceptable in size.
The biggest drawbacks are that this watch only comes in 1 size (47mm) which is less suitable for small wrists, fortunately this is just acceptable for me. In addition, the storage capacity of 16gb is just enough to install all European maps, so for world adventurers this can mean a lot of map management.
