I was looking to upgrade from a Garmin 920XT, and after doing my research, I determined that the Fenix 6 fit my needs as an athlete. I am please with the ease of use and the features the watch offers. I like the color of the band (orange) and the overall look of the Sapphire version. While the battery life is sufficient, I like to using all the features on the watch, and that reduces the time between charges significantly. I am still finding my sweet spot when comes to features I want to use all the part/al/none of the time. Overall, I am very happy with the watch.
I switched from an Apple Watch to this because I wanted to use the Daily Suggested Workout programming. While obviously not the same as having a coach, I really appreciate the daily workout (or rest) recommendations based upon my physiological data. For the last month, I've followed these recommendations almost exclusively, and I believe it's been helping my fitness.
This is my third fenix, I love Garmin watches. I use this primarily for running, but it has just about any activity you can imagine.
Highly recommended.
Very well built. Nice materials. Robust and reliable. New GPS chip responds quickly to starting activities. HR and Pulse Oximeter work well. Tons of activities available through Garmin plus third part apps
I love the activity tracking, syncs seamlessly with my phone. Very durable
