I was wondering this as well... i doubt you'll see it get much cheaper than maybe $425.

I recall last year when I was watching prior models of Garmin watches and wondering the same thing. I will opine based on that experience that the bigger issue is that they will sell out prior to triggering a lower the price.

This price is just a little better than everywhere. Google it. The watches are below $500 in many places.

You sure you're looking at the 7X PRO SAPPHIRE solar? This one is $549 on Amazon and Best Buy.

Garmin's moved along from major Fenix 7 firmware updates, outside of bug fixes and other minor updates, since the Fenix 8 release.

It's this one. There are at least 2 or 3 other sites with similar price right now for the solar sapphire pro version and multiple sites have it at $500.

This is not a huge deal right now, but I can tell you as a Software Developer myself who has made custom watch faces from scratch, that at some point they will update the standard version of ConnectIQ to the next major release version and if your watch doesn't support it, you will find that you can't install most newly released versions of watch faces and Garmin watch apps because your watch isn't on a new-enough CIQ version.

If you're motivated and tech-savvy, you can sometimes find the app file itself and sideload it, but there's no guarantee that it will run on your watch if the implementation of that app requires new functions that didn't exist in your watches CIQ version.

I'm in this boat right now with a Garmin Forerunner 955 that I downgraded to an old firmware version due to the newer firmware versions that they released being very buggy and inefficient with battery usage. The Forerunner 955 is basically a Garmin Fenix 7 without a flashlight and wrapped in a smaller, less-rugged shell.

I tend not to like to update my devices to the latest releases of firmware/software until they are fully vetted. Garmin is particularly bad with the quality of their firmware releases. Almost every new release of firmware seems to break something or make something that used to work well not work that well, and also degrade the battery efficiency. Firmware security is not a real issue with these watches (at least not yet), since we aren't using them to do things where our devices are a hacking target.
