My husband purchased this for me as an anniversary gift and it’s overall really fantastic!My favourite things:1) I have managed to download free GPX maps of of all my planned long runs, including the ultra trail. This watch allows you to also do the course in reverse to mix things up! I am doing more trail & fell runs now and don’t need to keep a physical map for navigation.2) The battery life is 9days!! Ok this is a lot lower with GPS on but still covers my 4hr to 10hr races. It’s such a relief to know your watch isn’t going to die on you half-way through a race and you can revel in the data afterwards.3) The 6S Pro is a lot smaller on my wrist than my current Polar watch.I can’t tell I’m even wearing it on runs it’s so comfortable.4) I love the fact you can customise the watch face. It’s a small detail but I have: battery, full date, time and hr visible. ?5) Great watch if your clumsy...this is one tough but if kit! I’ve only had it a couple of weeks but have already dropped it on tiled flooring glass down ? AND tripped up on very rough terrain during a run ?? But no damage done- not even a scratch!There are so many things to like but those are my top ones.Things that could be improved:1) Ok so many have reviewed that the HR is inaccurate. I can confirm this. I wore both my hr watches at the same time and the farming is 10bpm higher than Polar. Polar have great reliability one of the best and most accurate on the market. Therefore, I am inclined to take Polar reading as more accurate. Consequently, I have purchased a chest hr monitor to gain more accuracy. Haven’t tried this yet so unable to comment.2) Pricey! Come on Garmin reduce the price so mere mortals can enjoy your amazing products! (I can’t believe my husband actually got this for me. He’s just the best ever.)3) Garmin Pay does NOT work! NatWest and First Direct have NOT yet agreed to use this method of payment, so I currently am unable to use. I even tried a credit card and they have also refused. I can only conclude this has something to do with the lack of security offered whilst using the payment system.4) Charge port has exposed pins for charging cable connection. I really hope this does not corrode with sweat (!)I had this problem with two previous Polar models which I washed every time (and dried) after use but this failed to prevent damage. Polar did kindly replace my watch free of charge very quickly no quibble, and clearly learned a lesson, as all newer models were sealed.All in all, it’s an amazing watch and if it stays problem free it will certainly be the best I’ve had.

I upgraded from a Vivoactive 3 to the Fenix 6 Pro and I don't regret it one bit (and yes, it's almost 3 times the price). The build quality, the functionality, the number of options etc. is not comparable.For those who think it might be too big on your wrist like I thought (I'm 5'7 and weigh approx. 175) and am used to watches that are about 42mm by 12-13mm...so the Fenix 6 coming it at circa. 47mm, I thought would be a bit much. But I was pleasantly surprised that it doesn't look too chunky and the added display size and battery duration is 100% worth it.Some reviews speak about the HRM not being accurate...to be honest, I found that if you don't put it in a particular activity mode,it is not going to monitor your HR accurately - I tested this by cycling with a chest HRM strap on and whilst I was at 160+ on the chest strap the Fenix wasn't going above 100 bpm whilst not in a particular activity mode. However, once you switch it into cycling or indoor cycling, the HRM was much more accurate and was often 1 or 2 beats within range of the chest strap - this might have to do with battery saving when you are not in an activity mode, but I'm not sure. That being said...I'm happy with the accuracy and can't complain as I plan to set it to the activity I plan to workout on when using it anyway. So far I have also done runs with it and the activity monitoring was bang on. (please remember to update the software as well when you get your watch, as it could have been sat in the warehouse for a while...)As expected, I love how it gives you all the metrics you may wish to track/use..VO2, cadences, elevation, recommended recovery times, Loads, pace, speed, heart rate, aerobic training effect, hydration, respiration etc...and that's just a few from running.There's a lot more you can do using the Garmin app on your phone and I haven't tested it all out yet, but look forward to in the future.Finally, the build quality is excellent and is all out of metal...including the buttons, which feel great and have good feedback when you press them. It also looks great.For anyone getting the non-sapphire crystal like I did, I'd recommend you get a screen protector (I got the ones by VGUARD) as well as a dust plug for the charging port (got KIMILAR) just to add some extra durability to your watch.100% recommend and if you get one, enjoy it!

I bought this watch as I wanted off-road GPS navigation with a decent running app and music via bluetooth. Comparing it with other, cheaper, smartwatches that would run View Ranger and Google Fit on WearOS, I decided to keep this watch. My Pros and Cons:+ Strong battery life, even for the 6s. It lasts around 4 days while using GPS for shorter runs (>10 km) and checking stuff every now and then. I aim to use it for a 24 hour walk in Wales and can be confident it will last with navigation.+ GPS and music without carrying my phone, cheaper wearOS devices would need the phone with one all the time+ Advanced running and fitness stats, including a decent Garmin Coach program.Great for race planning and preparation.+ Very light weight compared to other watches, esp. compared with the Fenix 6 Pro+ The body battery, sleep analysis and pulse oxygen measurements are very useful for general physiologyCons:- 300 GBP more expensive than other watches that can navigate, pace runs and play music- no control for music on the phone, only for tracks directly on the watch- Street navigation more cumbersome than Google Maps (Nevertheless, Sendpoints is a great help in putting in new locations from the phone)- The weather app is not the most accurate data provider, way overestimates probability of rain- The strap is quite thin and the watch small. Great for running but a sophisticated urbanist with bigger forearms than mine might find this watch too small and unaesthetic

I had the Fenix 3HR, moved to the Fenix 5X and now I have the Fenix 6X Pro.This is an amazing watch. It’s certainly better than previous models and feels more like a premium product.The increased screen size makes it easier to read and the screen itself has an increased resolution. The display is much clearer and looks smart. The animations are good when changing screen modes or syncing via WiFi etc.The DLC protected bezel is a massive improvement. I’ve not managed to scratch it so far - both my 3 & 5 were scratched in days.The mini widgets display is a massive improvement over the old single widgets display and I love how the activities can be edited from within by simply pressing the up button during an activity.The oxygen sensor works well as does the HR sensor.It’s more accurate than previous versions.The extra metrics are also welcome. They tend to motivate me and I love how in-depth the data gets about workout load.As always the maps are good. GPS is very quickly locked on and accurate. The gorilla glass version seems more accurate with gps than the sapphire models. And the gorilla glass is clearer and brighter too.This is a great Garmin watch and it feels like they’ve put more effort in to making a product that feels nice to use as well as having useful feature.I use mine for,CyclingRunningGym / weightsSwimming

I was really impressed by the things this watch had to offer but I found myself using only the features available on the cheaper options.It looks amazing and despite being a little bit heavy, the rubber strap held it comfortably in position and I barely noticed it on my wrist.The GPS accuracy was spot on, as was the HR and ox sensors but as I have discovered with other Garmin watches, the altimeter was not so accurate, putting me at -100ft below sea level when I was up a mountain and could see the sea 450ft below.I am told there are different settings to correct this but for a £500+ watch, this should be a straight out of the box working feature IMO.The battery life was impressive,compared with my old Garmin Instinct, I could get a week of use, including 10+hrs of GPS tracking and still have more than 20% left.If you’re thinking of buying this as a fitness watch and this is at the top end of your budget, I would recommend choosing something lighter and with less features and saving the rest of your money for something that will make your sport more enjoyable.This watch is for an extreme minimalist outdoorsman who wants the luxury of GPS, music, fitness tracking (and a wallet, where you can use Garmin pay) without having to carry a phone.

It takes a bit of getting used but when you do get used to this watch can literally save your life. There's been two times I've been on a trail and completely lost myself and this watch has gotten me home.The gps is usually very accurate although before the update I did have some problemsThe heart sensor gives almost identical readings to my chest strap.It's a great watch for swimming ,running,cycling and general readings like stress and sleep.One small accessory feature which was really valuable to me is called "breathwork" it's like a meditation app in the watch that helps you control your breath. I feel the watch is fairly light . I'm a small guy . I have gone on 20 km runs and I didn't really feel the watch on my wrist.It is expensive but for me it has been worth every penny and it has definitely helped me in my trainings . It will take time to find where all the settings are and adapt to all the hundreds of features but once you do it becomes a very natural process.

Best sports watch functionality-wise so far. I had doubts if 6X would be too bulky though looks fine (my wrist is 16.5 cm). Watch fits well for me and wrist-based heart rate is surprisingly accurate for me in all conditions (even at high pulse, tested with forerunner+chest strap to compare).Biggest disadvantage would be the price although it can easily be justified if you do use the offered features.Fenix 6 Pro series is the closest to life-style smart watch among the fully featured sports watches.If you lean towards more apps, bigger ecosystem, phone-like features then you’d go for Apple watch. If you are looking for proper sports tracker,don’t want to have It only for this but actually use it as a watch that doesn’t need to be charged every other night, go for Fenix 6 pro.

Simply the best watch available. Not worth the change up from a 5 plus, however it's the best you'll get at this point in time.Build quality is superb, and the aesthetics of the watch are excellent. Feels like a proper watch and performs like the best running watch available. Screen seems clearer than the 5, and the battery is on a par. Sensors seem very accurate as expected, and the watch sits well on the wrist. Strap could be a little bit longer for some, perhaps another cm or two but it's perfectly fine for me.Previous watches include suunto 5, Garmin 735XT, 645, 245, and Fenix 5. The Fenix 6S is easily the best among them.One small negative is my bank (Nationwide) doesn't work with Garmin pay yet.Indications are they won't sign up for it either.

Heart rate not the most accurate but I use a chest strapGps spot on slightly better that my old fenix 5Battery I get between 19 to 27 days with using the gps ever other day for running and cycling also use it fb or cross training every other day. I keep the pulse ox off as don't use or need it and if you use it for sleep only you will lose minimum 7 days and for 24/7 pulse ox you lose a minimum of 12 day.Love the music especially now it has Amazon link inIt's the best gps watch on the market at the moment I tested the suunto 9 baro and the polar vantage v as comparisonExpensive but if you are a serious all rounder the worth the money

Fantastic bit of kit this. It's really helped me in my training (cycling) and showed I was doing to many high intensity workouts. I now use this watch to gauge what zones I'm in and how often so I get a balance of rest, base, cardio and high intensity. The only annoyance I've found is the performance stats keep showing I'm not doing well despite feeling great and producing high power for the heart rate zone. Great variety of watch faces available. I've only taken it off to charge since I've had it. Navigation is superb, HRM is very accurate with stats near perfectly matched via wrist to my HRM chest band. Battery life is awesome too.

These are fantastic sports or hiking watches. Very flexible and easy to customize. I run two to three times a week. Using the GPS for walks as well up to 3 times a week, the battery charge lasts me a full week. Highly recommend. I came from the Samsung gear S3, the screen and interface is not as good as the S3. But every thing else is much better. For a big watch, the black verson is understated on the wrist. The information the phone app get from the watch is very complete and detailed. The wrist based heart rate monitor gives and identical count to my chest based monitor. Very good value for money.

It's an amazing watch and if you are a budding triathlete then you will get plenty from this device with accurate swim/run/cycle functions. Me I just use the walk/hike/cycle functions and it's a winner. With support for third party applications it will even track your sleep which works very well indeed once the battery lasts at least 5 days - longer if you keep the pulse oximeter switched off - shorter if you use the GPS...It's pricey but in this case you really do get what you pay for... Don't forget to buy screen protectors at the same time - last thing you want to do is stratch the glass!?

Perfect watch for anyone who wants a good looking watch that can double as a fitness device. I previously had the Forerunner 235 and while that was a good watch I found the face of it to be a little bit too big and everything felt quite plasticy.This watch looks good, has a metal surround and a solid and quality feel to it. The feature set has grown since my last watch and covers everything I could possibly need.The other benefit is that the transition from my old watch to this was seemless and automatically enabled new dashboards and data fields in the app which was a nice touch.

After changing multiple smartwatches from Apple, Samsung, Fitbits and so on ... I can only say that I am sorry I did not go for the Garmin to begin with... would have definitely saved a lot of money.Battery life when charged says 21 days. With no activities, it would do it.If you use GPS tracking, heartbeat broadcasting, navigating using the map it would still easily last you a good week and that is with HR running in the background.It is not heavy, straps start showing wear after time but definitely not asking for a change.

Wow - great bit of kit. It is going to take a while to learn all that it can do - but, getting the basics running, using the watch for running, walking etc., and connecting to Garmin Connect was a breeze. A nice watch with just so much to learn.However, what I have learned is I am unable to use the Garmin App and hence access and use the ayment facility off the watch unless I have IOS 12 or above on myiPhone, which I don't and can't as I have an old phone. Bugger. So now I need a new phone to make use of the new watch!
