Garmin fenix 6x pro
Probably the best watch I’ve ever had , battery life is excellent, golf app outrageous all round brilliant watch
A good bit of ki
I do really like this but if you use everything on it you only get about 6 days battery life
Great smartwatch
Wanted a decent smartwatch that I could also use for golf – this fits the bill! Great battery life that lasts for at least a week and includes 3 rounds of golf gps. Too many apps to list, but sleep monitoring, body charge, pulse ox and distance covered when out hiking seem to be pretty accurate. Great choice of front screen faces that are easy to read and it looks good on the wrist.
Garmin fenix 6pro - worth every penny
Great watch! The design, the features, the build quality, the battery – all top marks!
Absolutely love it!
Use it to track my Type 1 Diabetes as it is compatible with the Dexcom G6. Tracks my Steps, Sleep, Heart Rate, any sports activity you want to pursue, sets targets and has 20+ Ski Resort maps. I bought the one you put on charge and you can get up to 9 day charge depending on what you use it for. Links to your emails and you can also use it to pay for purchases in shops if your bank allows it.
A stunning watch
Does everything you need and more, brilliant watch that’s already improving my training.
Battery life is dependent on watch face so try not to have too many variables running on it!
Awesome watch
This is my 2nd Garmin Fenix, previously had the 5. The 6x pro has come on so well, it beats my previous Apple Watch series 6 hands down!
This is so much more robust, the battery life is 50x longer than my Apple Watch which I was charging daily, this will easily last 5 days with all the sensors on, longer if some are disabled. Previously these didn’t support iPhone notifications in the UK or with Apple products, however I now receive all txt notifications even my ring doorbell. I haven’t utilised the full capabilities of this Watch yet, but know it certainly will not disappoint. Worth checking YouTube reviews on this too, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this watch to anyone. There are variations too. 6s – smaller size, 6- normal & 6x largest screen size.
Then you have sapphire or gorilla glass, sapphire obviously more stronger, however I have had no issues with my gorilla glass one. Yes, I have knocked the watch a few times, walls, doors etc, but the marks just rub off!!
A very sturdy watch that has a full 10/10 from me!

Brilliant.
For what I need it for, getting out on the hills by foot, MTB, and general fitness, this is brilliant. The only fault I have is that it sometimes loses heart rate. This is probably because of my tattoos, however, I haven’t had this with my instinct tactical or forerunner watches previously. This isn’t anything to stop enjoying the watch though as I use an external HRM.
It’s an amazing watch plus I got a good deal. Good battery and easy to navigate. Get one.
Love i
Absolutely brilliant price of kit and it even tells the time.
Great watch for multi sports
I took some time to buy this because it’s an expensive watch BUT I’m really pleased I finally took the plunge! It lives up to everything I’d hoped it would deliver and I’m particularly happy with the swimming tracking. I’ve had fun with the Connect app and with clocking up miles for a virtual challenge. Best watch I’ve had
This is my first Garmin watch – my previous fitness/smart watch experience was limited to only FitBit Versa for a few years, and a brief purchase of a Fossil Skagen Falster 3 that I loved but had to go back because the battery wouldn’t last a day.
My initial impressions: the Fenix 6 Pro is chunky, and sits taller than a fitbit – initially I was wary, but it sits very comfortably and looks well – it just took a few days to get used to it. Now I would find it weird to go back. Likewise physical buttons were a change from touch screen – but these work in all weather, rain, or with running or cycling gloves on – they just work. The lack of touch screen means a clear always-on display, with a light button for use at night. If you are running, holding it to view it will auto light it for you.
There are so many options and features on this watch that initially it seems too much – likewise the many options for data fields when running etc. But you just search for what you need up front, then over time keep learning and customising it, and it can give you whatever views and data you want.
The tracking on exercise is superb, with good recommendations, and planning for rest times or variations. Likewise HR monitoring, sleep tracking, stress, and the Garmin “body battery” concept.
Battery life is incredible. If I just used it as a watch, I could get 12 days+ off a charge, although it’s more like a week with a few long runs/cycles, and I also sync podcasts to it and play straight from my watch while I run. I can leave my phone if needs be without issue.
The always-on screen works, and while I did not opt for a top line model with Sapphire screen shielding, the regular one has taken knocks without any visible marking. While locking my bike, I dragged the glass hard along a sharp metal edge on the fork of the bike, and thought I had ****ed it, but there;s only a very faint ghost line that I have to tilt and look for to see it. The glass is very scratch resistant.
It’s not a cheap watch – I bought mine on Black Friday – but it’s really impressed me and a yea ron I’m still very happy with it. Rock solid construction, best in class battery with an always on screen, a wide range of different fitness tracking options with far more depth than casual trackers like Fitbit. I highly recommend it for someone looking to take their fitness tracking to the next level.
One year on - still delighted with my Fenix 6 Pro.

This is my everday watch and was an upgrade from my Fenix 3 which I owned since 2016 and which has served me well through hundreds of activities of many types and millions of steps. The Fenix 6 Pro is around the same size as my old 3 but feels slimmer and lighter on the wrist which I appreciate as I wear it 24/7 and the older one sometimes was a little uncomfortable at night when sleeping. The 6 Pro is I believe a shade lighter but oddly feels much lighter, maybe due to case shape?.
The device itself is amazing, battery life is around a couple of weeks and you have the ability to tailor your battery mode to requirements i.e turn off various battery hungry features for example to extend life if needed. In contrast my older Apple watch needed charging every day!
Activity tracking is as good as ever with the 6 Pro, running and swimming are my main interests, I use a different device for cycling. Step counting on my older 3 was a little erratic it wouldn’t for example always record steps if you were pushing a bike but would record steps occasionally when changing gear in the car. The 6 by contrast seems to be able to overcome these issues and “seems” more accurate.
The display is bright and clear, at first I was not sure about the new interface however after a few days I have come to love it. Watch faces can be installed as per other Garmin devices so you can have the face you want with the features you want. The device connects to your phone so you can get notifications, you can even apparently setup Garmin Pay should you want to make small purchases with it, not actually something I need.
I haven’t used the navigation feature yet either but have looked at the maps and like the ability to view popularity overlays. I don’t play music on it but understand you can use Spotify or another music provider to save carrying a portable player although expect this would drain your battery quicker. The device has Wifi so you can upload your music easily.
Overall I’m really pleased with my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and would recommend it to anyone who wants a watch that encompasses pretty much everything, is highly customiseable and with a battery that last a week or two between charges.
Very impressive
Brought mainly for Kitesurfing to use with the Woo device. Not tried it out on the water yet as only got it yesterday but really impressed with all the other features and quality feel. Can’t wait to see live data of my Kitesurfing sessions.

Swimming
I purchased this for my partner who loves swimming. He said it is the best watch he has had and it’s perfect for keeping a record of his laps in the pool
Not for me
This on paper is a really nice fitness watch with over a week’s battery. My only let down is the screen. Coming from a galaxy smartwatch I’m to used to a vibrant screen.
Awesome watch - perfect for my needs!
For the fitness guru this watch has everything thats needed to monitor your activities and deliver data that counts. 14 days of battery life and with sleep tracking it is more than useful…. Absolutely love it!
Great!
Long dreamed of replacing the sports watch with a newer model! Provided a convenient occasion to do this! My expectations fully fulfilled! Mini computer on the wrist of the hand! Super gift!
Love this watch.
I have skinny wrists, was worried this watch may be too big. Its not. I upgraded from a Vivoactive 3 music and the bigger screen is so much better. Watch is significantly heavier, but I soon got used to it.
The only gripe I have is that when paired with my Jabra Elite 65t headphones the audio can cut out when I wear the watch on my left wrist while running, (it’s fine on the right wrist). The right bud is the master, maybe it’s too far/obstructed from the watch. Otherwise, brilliant.
Brilliant smart watch
I switched to this smart watch from a rival brand, and it blows the competition out of the water. The battery life is better than claimed, it is customisable and the fitness and health tracking work brilliantly. I use this mainly to broadcast my heart rate while cycling and I would definitely recommend this watch.
Super device
Superb bit of kit very very pleased, easy to order with super fast delivery one happy custome
Best smart watch I’ve had
Solid watch. Does everything I need and more. Used mostly for cycling with the odd run, gym session thrown in. Had a polar V2 before this and they are night and day different.
The only draw back I would say is I use the watch fully (HR,steps oxy etc etc) and train around 1 or 2 hours a day so battery life is around 4 days.
HR tracking as with all watches is a bit iffy but I have always used heart straps. I would say on average about 5 or 10 BPM difference

I got this during prime week, so was at a really nice low price.
I can’t complain at all about the quality of this watch. It is used mainly for tracking long runs and sleep tracking.
1 – The sleep tracking seems pretty decent. Obviously this is going to be subjective to the code in the software for the tracker. As it will give you different results compared to other brands sleep trackers. But the app seems pretty spot on to be honest. Everyday I’m told I have a great sleep I can honestly say it feels like I have. The same can be said when it tells me my sleep was off or not good at all.
2 – The battery life is great, after a full charge it states it is good for 8 days. And based on my usage I can say this is an acurate time frame. There is nothing worse that having to always chage a smart watch, but this device seems to last a lot longer that any I’ve had in the past. I would say it is a little on the slow side to charge. But seeing as I have to do it less than my past watches, I can’t really complain too much about that.
3 – At the Prime price I got this for this watch was a steal. It was great value for money to be honest. If I have to pay the price it is showing now, having not seem the Prime price, I think I would still be happy with my purchase.
4 – The garmin app is great, full of useful features and you can spend a lon time going through all the stats the watch collates from your day. It is regularly being updated as well, with new features and tweaks being added. So far I’ve not been disappointed with the app at all.
Highly recommended.

Fenix 6x pro
Fantastic watch’ battery last ages if you turn off all none essential apps off’ i use for tracking my walk’ hike’ runs easy to use very user friendly
Great watch
Obviously if your into your fitness then the Garmin 6 X Pro is one of the best fitness watches on the market. I have has several Garmin watches over the years and they seem to get better. i love the 6XPro and if your thinking of getting one do not hesitate its a no brainer.
The Garmin Fenix 6X PRO
Was shipped from UK to KSA and that was extremely quick
A good all round watch, which I wished I had got earlier versions prior to this to get up to speed with what it is capable of doing !!!
Great smart watch and gps
Great watch for lifestyle tracking and GPS jus a pity I had to buy a different strap as the supplied ones are very sho
Garmin Fenix 6x pro
The watch itself is really good with the only minor downside being that it’s quite chunky and relatively heavy. Comes with decent detailed maps loaded which makes navigation super easy. The battery life is amazing with lots of options to extend it if you’ll be going for over 2 days.
Marked down as it’s very expensive and the app is a little over complicated.

Awesome piece of ki
Only criticism is that the HRM when exercising gets confused and tracks cadence rather than HR. Every other feature is awesome, particularly love uploading a route when I’m in new territory and following the turn by turn navigation.
This is my first every smart watch/health/activity tracker. I’m glad I spent a little more than I had planned for this watch.
For some time now my wife has had a Fitbit but I couldn’t find something which had all the functions I wanted in their offerings.
Initially I was going to go for the Garmin Forerunner 745 as I had read and watched decent reviews about the watch, that it wasn’t as good as the fenix 6 or Forerunner 945 but was a decent smart/health/activity tracking watch.
Went with this because it was over 200 cheaper than on the Garmin site, so far I’ve been very impressed, it’s really helped me keep track of my fitness and activities, the only slight issue I have is that although it gives a good break down of your sleep pattern, having reviewed my data against my wife’s Fitbit, hers was more representative of her sleep.
However that function is an added bonus to me so I’m not too bothered and truth be told if your main concern is sleep tracking then you can probably find something with the same/better results at a lower price point.
As for build quality I can’t fault it, isn’t too heavy for me, but feels reliably robust. There is a nice tactile feel to using the buttons and unlike touch screens I haven’t accidentally pressed them like I do with other devices.
Also there is a lot of articles and videos on how to get the most out of this watch.

Fenix 6 pro. Well. Do the job. But I can’t believe that watch for more than 400 can’t properly count steps
I’m a driver and driving all day I can make 10000 steps only changing the gear ridiculous. My previous Apple Watch was far better and more accurate.
But if go in to sport function. Very good nice hiking function with maps, good running programs works very well with hrm run strap.
Overall it’s a very good watch and need some software updates to sort the step step counting
Good, bu

Slightly disappointed
So I’ve only had this thing for a couple of days so can’t really comment on battery life yet, I like it it’s a really nice watch but it’s so basic the settings are non existent, it does not register heart rate at all!! And the display is absolutely terrible it does not look good and honestly I’m kinda regretting buying this. Was with my friend today who has venu 2 and that looks amazing compared to this
Amazing sports watch
I’ve had polar sports watches for 25 years, based on the reviews I thought I’d try a garmin this time and it’s excellent. Nice big screen so it’s very clear, fairly intuitive, easy to hook up to my existing polar heart-rate and bike sensors.
After years of deliberating I love i
Good size, the fenix 6 pro, light weight, battery lasts 2 weeks with fair use, running, swimming and cycling for me. Tonnes of stuff I haven’t learnt yet but slowly getting there. At 400 ish it’s a great purchase, recommended.

Quite simply the best fitness watch I have owned
Absolutely brilliant watch, looks and feels wonderful, built like a tank but light enough to wear 24/7. The additional features are really useful. I turned off the ox pulse stuff as that was not particularly great, but everything else is perfect. I get 21 days between charge!!
Only watch you need.
My previous Samsung s3 compering to fenix is useless rubbish.
Fenix doesn’t pretend to be sport watch, it is sport watch.
One example: Samsung battery with GPS on lasted 90 minutes- pure joke.
Fenix 60 hours.
Generally it beats Samsung gear on every field.
This is such a brilliant buy – not cheap but you really do get what you pay for. I love being a bit of a teckkie, but love still not explored all its potential. Fantastic battery, sleep functions, health monitoring, . . it’s got it all. DO much better than my last watch by another leading maker. Just wish it was touch sensitive, but I can see why that would be a problem.

Super pleased
This was purchased after many hours working out the best watch for me.
I liked the look and size of watch face.
A lot to learn bit so far really pleased.
The seller was excellent and watch arrived a lot sooner than I was expecting.
Great buy
For money spent to best multi sport watch on market, battery life excellent. Put my apple series 5 watch back in the box.
Great Watch
So glad I upgraded, so much more to use. Great view of the maps. Highly recommend
Well worth i
I love this watch. Discovering new functions with it. It’s easy to use and set up. I bought a hrm strap as the wrist was out as most devices are. I also bought some screen protectors.
It’s noticeable how heavy it is at first but after a few days it’s normal.
I like how you can have a route devised on the watch via the Maps option. Great when not used to an area.
Genuinely the best sports tracker I've used.
OK so I bought this as a replacement for a vivioactive3 and a ganrmin edge 810 cycling computer.
The battery life of the vivioactive wasn’t good enough for rides over 4 hours.
Compared to the previous the fenix 6 lasts 5 days with 2-3 3+hr GPS activities easily. The accuracy seems reasonable and the metrics are good.
In short this is everything I’ve ever wanted from a GPS watch.
Love it!
Easy setup, features are not a problem to find. There’s a lot more to the watch than expected and will take a little time to become familiar with it completely
Fantastic watch
Does everything it says on the box much needed upgrade to my 245 forerunner.
Does remarkable stuff
If I were to buy again, I’d get the sapphire crystal face. No issue with this but for the extra cash … I think I should’ve.
Due to movement on the wrist, for totally accurate HR data without any intermittance, get a telemetry strap (chest worn HR strap).
In all other ways this is great and does WAY more than I expected. The software is really good and I’ve found seamless interface with stuff like my indoor trainer, and other apps I’ve tried.
It’s a lot of money (for most) but totally see the benefit. It’s not just a funky smart watch, it’s a heavily customisable sport tool

Top smart and fitness watch
Awesome awesome watch. Use it for hiking to give an easy access map, use whilst sailing to log my course, speed and vmg. Also great for tracking my workouts at the gym, as well as general fitness and sleep patterns. Looks great as well. Got the standard pro model and doesn’t look too big or feel heavy. Also get WhatsApp messages, emails, news alerts without having to get my phone out.
Best Watch eve
Everything you would ever want in a sports/activity tracking watch, great battery life , accurate GPS tracking ,phone free music , take the plunge and get one -highly recommended
Almost perfec

Stylish and functional
I absolutely love this watch. I’d wanted a fitness watch for a while but they all seemed “huge” on my slim wrists and that put me off. This one, whilst still being relatively large, is perfect for me. I also wanted something which was easy and uncomplicated to use. This ticks all those boxes. I’m not technologically minded at all, so didn’t want anything I couldn’t easily understand or navigate my way around. This watch is just perfect. I wouldn’t be without it now.

Great Price
I was expecting to pay 600 to update my Fenix but the white was on special offer so I’m extremely happy especially since it’s a 6s
I’ve had this watch for approx 1 month, prior to this i had a FORRUNNER 235. I wanted something that could do proper Navigation Amazon had a great Prime Day deal for this so I took the plunge. I have not regretted it. I’m training for the Manchester Marathon and now as my runs are getting longer the Navigation system is perfect for telling me where to turn and displaying a countdown to the next turn ( I use MAPMYRUN to create my route, download the GPX file, them upload to the watch) another great feature I thought I would not use but love is Garmin Pay, It’s great being out on a run and you need a drink or a cheeky Ice Cream 🙂 you don’t need your card or phone the watch can pay for it. I sleep,shower do everything with the watch and have had no issues.

Great watch
Never leaves my wrist. Great for rowing which is the main reason I bought it. Much more aware of activity now.
For a unisex watch the strap is very sho
I really like the watch and features but bear in mind if you have a wrist circumference of more than 170mm you will need to have the watch on the last couple of holes and will be better purchasing the 20mm large quick fit strap. The watch still looks grea
I’ve only ever used activity trackers made by another top manufacturer (rhymes with bitfit) and I’ll never go back after this. Packed with features for all manner of activities (I mostly use for treadmill, mobile, trekking, kayaking and boating) I’m used to a watch geared towards just one type, but this is excellent for all.
Sturdy, smart, sensible editable menu options, the app is simple to use but packed with information, and the battery lasts a very long time! This thing is brillia

Fantastic watch
Does everything and more, excellent battery life which was the main reason I got this. Looks great and I love the stats and information it shows me on the watch and app
What a great sports watch
I have had a few Garmin watches, plus a cheap Chinese sports watch over the years, but the quality, functionality and build of the fenix 6 is fabulous. Having only had this for a few days, I am very happy so far. The Connect app is very detailed and for athletes that need this level of functionality, this is a great watch.

Durable and feature packed watch
I love the Fenix, my first foray into GPS watches and it’s been amazing. GPS works in my local woods and in and around the streets of London. So many sport specific features but also comfortable a great well-being smart watch as well. Amazing watch and with the Garmin Chestnut strap gives a classy look. Highly recommended!
A great sports watch
Really good, top quality watch. Excellent features. Accurate HR monitor and other body sensors and all relatively simple to use. highly recommend for any serious sports person.
First class, love it, Great at tracking my pool swims and gym workouts too. Down side it keeps telling me to rest for 3 or 4 days. rubbish I’m only 76 and life’s to short to rest for that long.

Faultless/
Works perfectly for me as a tool in rehabilitation from some serious health issues. I am able to chart my progress and tweak my activity for maximum progress. Well worth the price.
The maps function is a gamer changer for me. Being able to get autogenerated maps according to distance and your locality is something I have never had before and it has made me find places i never knew existed! I am monitoring my sleep performance every day and am desperate to finally get more Deep sleep in compared to Light Sleep. I love the battery life which atm i can get by for about 5 days without charging my watch. I use it daily though so its getting used a lot. Not managed to get Spotify to work yet but not too fazed as I always have my phone with me. Compared to the Apple Watch which is more of an extension of your iPhone this is a REAL sports watch which has encouraged me to be a better athlete, to train smarter and harder and know when I can and cant push myself. I could never see myself without it. The only thing I would like is to find some interchangeable watch straps to wear when I am not spinning, running or being an exercise maniac and want to look like a lady.
I am 5″4 size 6-8 and have the Fenix 6 Pro and it fits my wrist so well, doesnt move about and doesnt weigh much, in case any other ladies were interested in the difference. The battery life is better than the Fenix 6S which was designed for women, not sure why they didn’t get the same battery life across the models but compared to my Apple watch which sometimes didn’t last a whole day before dying this is amazing! I can even go away to a festival for a weekend and not have to worry about having my watch charger with me.
LONG LIVE GARMIN WATCHES…well Fenix anyway 😉

A definite improvement over the Fenix 5.
Bought this Garmin Fenix 6 as a replacement for a Fenix 5 that failed (and subsequently recovered leaving me with two watches!!!). The Fenix 6 screen is definitely an improvement over that used on the 5 and the software is also laid out better than the earlier iterations. While I didn’t want to have to buy a new watch I am actually pleased with the newer design.
Fantastic battery life
Having a been an avid Garmin user for years this watch truly knocks it out of the park when it comes to battery life. It has a strong and sturdy design, fits well and the map feature is great when it comes to exploring new routes.
Purchased the watch because I was fed up with my iwatch failing to properly capture my runs (especially trail runs through woods etc)…. this watch however locks onto the GPS signal within seconds, regardless of the overhead conditions (trees etc)…. has so many options for what you want to see whilst running (pace,heart rate, cadence, elevation, time…. the list goes on!)…. battery life is awsom: 20days as a watch and 60hrs in gps mode…although I have yet to run for 60hrs to prove that’s true 🙂 ….
It also comes with bespoke training plans, which you can adjust and tailor for your needs, and the watch tells you what you need to do (slow down/speed up etc) whilst running so it’s like having a personal trainer with you all the time!
as a fairly serous amateur runner I have yet to find a drawback….

Good sports watch
Excellent watch and bought at a good price.Does all I needed of it.Heart rate monitor not the most accurate at times.
The only thing that I would prefer is if bezel was higher to protect screen as when I use glass screen protector it sits slightly higher than bezel.Afraid to use without protector for this reason
Had a Suunto core and it bezel is higher and never used a screen protector and glass scratch free after many years use .

Excelle
A brilliant device for tracking all that you do and helps you navigate and follow pre-loaded routes in the outdoors. Note that whilst it has all UK topo maps installed these do not have contours on which is a shame and caused me to purchase a third party map set.
Responsive, it does more than you possibly can use… So it is good for everyone… Battery – over 20 days… different faces to download for free…so it will look the way you like … Expensive, but worth every penny you spent on it!
Made her day.
She loves it, but would have preferred the grey one. It is a great little watch.
Amazing watch well worth the money
Battery life is amazing even when you use the gps
As I use it for kayaking cycling running and it lasts for days. The only thing is I liked the old charger likely old fenix 3 hr but that’s my preference great watch all round would recommend it to anyone who does multi sports
Bought this to help motivate me to get out and so some exercise.
The 6x Pro on Amazon was cheaper than the Fenix 6 on a number of other sites, so going large was a no brainer.
Good easy to read screen, that seems to be infinitely configurable to meet your needs (or what you are wearing).
A lot of smart watches come with a few days battery life and this has consistently given me 14 days between charges.
For a lot of people this is going to be overkill for your needs but the positive is that you are unlikely to outgrow it. The number of exercises it can record is a lot larger than most I looked at, and if it doesn’t include your exercise of choice simply add it yourself via the app.
The large screen sits quite nicely on the average wrist and doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable, the strap is a nice fit and I like that the retainer has a safety feature to slip into the last hole to help prevent loss.
it ain't heavy, it's my buddy

Garmin Fenix 6
Excellent battery life even when not on battery saver. Build quality is brilliant, feels as if carved out of one block of metal yet it’s not heavy.
I had a Garmin watch before so I was comfortable with the very comprehensive app, though the Fenix is a much more capable watch in terms of information.
It’s not cheap for a sports watch, and unless you’re using it for it’s proper purpose may not be worth the extra expense over the many option in the market.
But if you are using it for health and fitness measurement it is absolutely stonking at what it does and well worth the cost.
Bought for route navigation.
I bought this to replace my Polar m400. I wanted it as I’m getting more in to trail running and want to use the route mapping functions. It’s great after linking your Strava and Garmin accounts you go on Strava and find a route and save it then it’ll be on the watch once updated. Just select the route and follow the trail. I haven’t created my own route yet but have followed other people’s who run locally to me.

It’s a very nice watch to look at finding your way around it takes a bit of getting use to.
Great piece of ki
Great piece of kit. Took a while to pair with phone but Hauweii phone – that seems to be the problem. Sorted now however. So pleased I made the investment.
What more could you want?
Really great product
Tracks exercises effortlessly
Completely customisable
Very easy to add promenade or custom routes which is absolutely fantastic for hiking especially
Zero regrets in spending the extra to get this (9 months on)
super.
his watch is the best watch I have ever used, the maps are second to none and all the functions are super. highly recommend to anyone that likes being our doors. one thing I will say is there are a lot of functions/activities that I will not do but for what I use it for is absolute quality . my advice is to watch a few tutorials online first and be patient. once you understand how it works it awesome.
