I returned this watch from Amazon due to it being faulty and bought the solar version elsewhere at a cheaper price. So shop around for deals first.
I have had numerous sports watches and the 6X Pro is the best of them all. It has all the usual stats and measures respiration, body battery, pulse ox amongst others. I bought it specifically for the GPS maps so I can go hiking without needing to carry a map. The battery doesn’t last as long as stated unless you deactivate some elements. Overall an excellent purchase.
After 3 years of recovering from illness I bought this to help motivate me back into a more active lifestyle. Having owned a basic running watch years ago. Garmin 410 I am amazed at the variety of functions this watch has. So far used it for Gym workouts. Swimming, cycling and walking. Simple to use and set up out of the box. Highly recommended this for multisports enthusiasts it’s an absolute Gem
Does everything I need for running, cycling, sleep tracking, swimming, triathlon etc
Wife is really happy with this watch. Amazing battery life and perfect for everything she needs to track her fitness. No issues at all.
Only issue I would say is that the app doesn’t let you customize your metrics such as kg for weights and miles for bike – km for running etc… Would be super useful as someone from England to be able to do this.
Fantastic watch, with brilliant features.
Sadly I had to return mine as because it’s the X model it’s just so big. And I’m not a small chap.
Went for the 6 pro solar instead which I find a lot more comfortable
6s pro: what is better than my 5s – it has music, better heart rate tracking, blood oxygen level tracking and maps, all of which were upgrades from my 5s. Its also smaller than my 5s with the black bezel rather than silver and looks ‘sleeker’. The screen is slightly higher resolution which makes some of the watch faces look nicer and it has the updated UI which is better than the older 5 series. It now takes my heart rate under water which is a nice to have as I do a lot of swimming. I also find it syncs with my garmin connect much faster than before which is great. The watch can now connect to wifi but and connect to my amazon music account directly which is cool.
Now to the downsides – its not perfect. I actually find the battery lasts slightly less than my old 5s did. Which is a shame as I tend to do a lot of distance events which require battery for 10+ hours with GPS and this watch can ‘just’ about make it. I can’t say I’ve noticed the gps being any better than before, even though it supposed to be more accurate.
I’m glad I upgraded but am a little disappointed with the same battery life as before.
Amazing watch maps tracking all fantastic on this Garmin would recommend for anyone who loves the outdoors life
This is my first smart watch, I decided to take the plunge this 2022 during Black Friday week.
I suffer from arterial flutter and so though it would be handy to have a contestant rate measure. Having had several catheter ablations (burning out nerves in the heart) I can not longer feel what my heart is doing, so I had to purchase a quite expensive blood pressure monitor that can also detect AF. Of course this is a big piece of kit and not really mobile.
So far the heart rate reading measured against my blood pressure monitor are spot on accurate. The sleep measurement also seems quite accurate as checking it after waking and feeling like I could have done with another few hours it des say poor rated sleep and alternatively when waking up feeling like I slept for days, it says I had a good sleep. It provides measurements for the time you were light or heavy sleeping, the time you were in REM and time you were awake.
The alarms are neat and have thus far woken me up at the required time. I do not use it for exercise as my choice of fitness workout is Inline and roller skating. An activity not covered by Garmin and so far I have not found an app or widget that is really correctly designed for skating.
The battery life is outstanding. As mentioned I have the health sensors on full time as well as the GPS trackers and blue tooth connected to my watch providing notification’s and several other bits of info and I get a couple of days over the indicated14 days from a full charge (. Out of the two days that have thus far been sunny the solar face over an hour and a half of constant exposure to the sun gave me back around 2% of battery). So whilst I do not think it would be possible to run this on solar alone, when summer arrives I expect to get at least another week out of a charge. Also if I chose to run it in battery saver mode, turning off all the sensors and GPS, it indicates that it will give me nearly a month on a full charge. Eat that Apple, you I’watch users.
Brilliant watch. Smart features are a bit flaky and not a touch screen. Garmin pay is very limited and awful unless you have a card from a middle earth bank. Fitness features are outstanding. I did consider returning it. Still hanging on with it and hoping I’ll get used to it.
Later update: 1. You have to have the app open on yr fone in order to get notifications and 2. I cannot get outlook to sync never mind display notifications. I’m still inside the 30 day periodand I’m really tempted to return this watch.
Update 3 month in. I love it it’s great.
I’ve had a few Garmin watches the last bein the instinct which is a great watch and tracker. When I saw this fenix for the price I didn’t hesitate I know the new model is out but this still packs a punch. I train Muai Thai so this tracks my cardio really well. The heart rate monitor is on the ball and the sleep tracking is also amazing…
I’m not very in the sport and fitnes. But I love to swimming and for this reason my previous watches stopped to work. Battery life as well is must have for me. And finally I have watch with very good battery life and I can swim without worrying. I can’t give review about rest of features, but as it says ultimate sport aupport.
The watch was difficult at first as used to hawaii watch with touch screen,
But getting used to it and really like the watch it’s lighter than the Hawaii, and is little smaller but the multi function for training is grea
I bought it six months ago and my previous tracking device was Fitbit Versa 3.
Well, well, well, what a change.
I took this device mainly because of swimming, however on every step I was pleasantly surprised.
Used it once for running and showed up pretty accurate. Bicycle use was great as well.
Swimming was a bit touch and go.
It gets pretty easily confused sometimes by a stop mid lane and adds one length.
Sleep tracking works mostly ok. Couple of times I found that ten minutes or so it hasn’t switched off my sleep cycle.
However the battery is terrible! About four to five days with all the functions running 24/7
Generally quite happy with i
I’ve had the Garmin Fenix 3, 5 & 6…The 6 Pro is by far the best to date. Seamless connection to bluetooth headset means no carrying around a phone, the memory also holds hundreds of tunes and buttons are easy to navigate =)
Great watch for the purpose I bought it, I love stats and that is what I get.
I am not convinced the heart rate monitor is accurate mind you, but data fields are perfect for my requirements.
I am pleased with this purchase – I bought it to help with my rowing training. It is, however, capable of lots more. I fear I’ll never get best use from it because I’m just not aware of all it can do. Minimal help from the written information that came with it and info on t’internt is overwhelming.
Overall I’m still pleased (esp with battery life – around 15 – 20 days per charge.)
Moved up from 235. I know it was big but was not expecting it to be this big – and heavy. It is also hard and probably
impossible to fasten down if you have a slimmer wrist. I will likely stick with the 235 for races and use this for long runs and exploring.
Love this watch. Does everything I need it to and has a very good battery life. It is also light making it easy to wear all the time.
Amazing running watch . Had it a week before I knocked it and scratched the glass gutted. The gorilla glass is supposed to be scratch resistant not true get a screen protector before you use this watch . Otherwise an amazing watch
Chunky on the wrist, but it does come with lots of features. The battery life is amazing and also have low power mode which pushes the battery further. Takes a bit to get used to and use all the features but once you get familiar, it’s a good multifunctional sports watch
Brilliant watch. Great for golf and running. Battery lasts ages
Brilliant watch, just bear in mind of its size, easy enough to set up. I put a protective case on it , but then made it look even bigger! Battery life is immense, you’re talking days not hours .If you’re in the market for a multisport smartwatch, won’t be disappointed.
It feels comfortable, the strap looks smart. I use it for running, cycling and swimming. The daily workout suggestions are grea
Like:
mature OS
Perfect Heart tracking
GPS is good most of the time
Dislikes:
Sleep tracking can be better
Struggles in thick tree cover
Display should be better for this price
Costly for these features
Wasn’t as large as I expected but I prefer this larger size,more polished app than other watches I’ve had,accurate,screen is filtered and visible in bright conditions which is a major plus for me,good build quality though expensive price point but goes on sale at a better price point occasionally.
Great bit of kit Garmin love the unit, however
I Bought it with intention of using it in conjunction with Amazon music as advertised but the Amazon Music App is not available in the Garmin store in Ireland (it’s in the UK ) and is an Amazon decision confirmed by Garmin support.
Amazon has a large footprint in Ireland and i have prime in Ireland can’t figure out why Amazon doesn’t include The App In Ireland extremely frustrating and disappointing.
