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.
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
Pricey but helping me with my activities and allows me to pay for stuff when I forget my wallet
Top quality product. Thank you.
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 =)
All good for a upgrade afterm using tom tom for 7 years… no issues… just hab to learn control button (still learning)
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.)
went from galaxy watch to garmin. should have done it ages ago
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.
This is my 2nd Garmin and it is great. It has more functions that I will use but so far the battery life is great and a really neat watch to wear.
Was looking at reviews of this watch for so long, wish I bought it sooner, does everything it says it does and pretty accurately too, even though I use it mainly for cycling and a daily watch it’s just become a part of my life now, looks fantastic too
Really nice watch, it does what it says on the tin, nice ECG function and many sport modes, battery lasts about 2 weeks as a watch only, if I play with it all day long then the battery life is reduced to a week.
Overall very happy with the purchase.
As a keen hiker and runner, I needed a robust watch that’s going to do everything I needed it to do on the mountains etc and this absolutely does it all and more. The apps I have added are also working very well and I have no complaints at all.
Already had an instinct 2 that I use mainly for work and really liked it and decided to go for something more casual and I m not disappointed.
Upgraded to the Fenix 6X from the Vivoactive 4 (which I loved). It was key that I could still listen to music while running without carrying my phone.
Took a while to get used to the size difference but now that I am, I love it. Perfect for triathlon allowing you to measure transition times and has been accurate with open water swimming. Great watch, would recommend for triathlon!
Awesome bit of kit, for me, life changing. GpS could be more accurate but otherwise excelle
The battery lifetime is good but solar charging it’s just a joke ,not even close from what I was expected ( this was the main reason ive choose this model) . Excepting this Garmin is doing a great job as always
Best upgrade ever, was not sure about not having a touchscreen but all over that now. Good range of aftersales straps and worth purchasing a watch cover to protect the buttons. The battery life is just amazing and great when I am away no need to worry about charging every week.
Love this watch great for tracking hikes and syncing with Strava
My husband was very surprised when he opened his bday present and was delighted with it and it does soo much stuff so he says and charge is excellent .
This is not a touch screen smart watch. The reaction of the pulse sensor sometimes slow. The colours of the screen can be “washed out”. This watch is not a fancy stuff, rather a rugged outdoor multisport device.
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, 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.
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.
Bought this as an upgrade to the Garmin Vivoactive 3, which is a good everyday ‘smart’ watch for monitoring activity, less so for recording multi discipline activities and providing metrics. The Fenix 6 Pro is a step up in everyway providing valuable insight into performance, fitness and wellbeing. Battery life also phenomenal. As a bonus this was purchased as a Prime Day deal.
I have decided to buy this Garmin because my apple watch was not apple to track my long bike rides.
I am very happy with the watch in general. However, it took me a while to get used to the lack of touchscreen.
PROS: I did a few scuba dives with it (-20m) and it worked fine.
Battery lasts a lot. I can track at least 10h worth of activity with no issues
Contactless payments
Ant+ support – I can connect it to my power meter
Supports lots of sports
Sleep monitoring
Charges fast
CONS: I also wanted to use the maps function to navigate on the rides but I found that difficult.
Garmin pay is limited to a few banks
I really like thsi which replaces my Garmin 3 Saphire. Has many useful widgets and covers all my sporting interests. The only things I would like added is timer/countdown feature in the boating app, for race starts, and more customisation options for the watch face.
I’ve only had it 3 days and so far I am very pleased. I have customised the face and started to use it right away. The only thing I was disappointed is that it didn’t automatically detect my workout yesterday when strength training, swimming and not even when I was lifting 30 folded tables at an event. My last watch which was a fitbit and Samsung gear had this feature.
This is a great sports watch which i use mainly for hiking. Took a little while to familiarise myself with all the functions, etc. but after watching a couple of youtube videos it’s actually straight forward.
App work brilliantly to plan custom routes and GPS tracking works flawlessly up to now.
Battery life is excellent, screen and overall quality is very high.
Well worth the investment at 425ish when i bought mine.
The watch is excellent and has everything I need, and more, for my training requirements.
Recommend it.

After purchasing direct from Garmin’s site, on the same day Amazon dropped the price! Even Garmin couldn’t match it and it was returned! Complete bargain, love the watch and very happy with Amazo
Can’t really fault this watch as a whole. Great features and most fucntions are easy to use. There are some areas where better explanations on how to use the apps/widgets would really help…
Having had it for a few months now, the only real negative i have is that with hindsight i should have paid the extra money for the latest model as some new, key features aren’t available with this version.
Was using it for last 20days to track cycling, walking, paddle boarding. User friendly UI, battery holds easily over a week, when in battery saver mode apparently it can hold up to 60days. Paddle boarding tracker app is as good as it gets, the distance/speed measured compared to STRAVA app is the same (Garmin is more accurate). Its 1.4-inch display features tough, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass DX which also enhances display readability through a 75% improvement in front surface reflection, so no need for aftermarket screen protectors.
I always had an Apple watch and I was reluctant to move to another brand. A friend using Garmin persuaded me to try. I bought it when it was on offer on Amazon and loved it ever since. It’s a great smart watch, a lot more accurate than the Apple watch and the battery last longer. I had to charge the AW every day just using it for one workout. Two start for battery life as it is advertised as lasting something like 8 days. I have to charge it every three/four days which is obviously a big difference to 8 days however it’s a bliss not having to charge it every single night!
It takes a while to get used to some of the functions but once you get the gist of it it’s really a great watch.
Hi. This is a great watch,it looks good and functions well. Nice features very accurate gps, steps counter ok. Sleep tracking good. Compass feature good for geo tagging
Battery life ok when no gps used like 1 month but once its switched on its reduced to days or hrs. Solar charging I’m not sure if it makes a lot of difference yet as its not been that sunny.
Garmin connect app is well polished and easy to navigate.
Great watch for sport tracking stats let down by disconnections from phone issues . I have pixel 6 and connects for few days then phone needs resetting and watch to reconnect otherwise very good.
I know it’s a sports watch but not being toucb screen makes navigation clunky from my view point! I’m sure some will disagree! The actual watch face, clarity, battery life etc is excellent. Sits high off the wrist need decent size cuffs to cover i
Upgraded from my polar grit X to this I’ve always avoided Garmin favouring polar as I have years of running data. But I have to say I wish I’d moved over to Garmin earlier the battery life on the X is unreal compared to the polar grit X. For that alone it’s worth the upgrade. I love the map function I like how it can give you ordnance survey positions for hikes. It really is a good around watch.
Got the watch after a huge mix up of sending an empty box, however to my relief Amazon sent a replacement the next within a couple of days, the watch looked felt fantastic, but one thing let it down, there was no tocuh sceen, its all buttons, i researched the new one, thought save some money and buy last years model not knowing it wasn’t a touch screen, well i returned it and gone with the 7 solar sapphire, just not have to wait for the release date
This watch can be used to not just “track”, but also “plan” your fitness. I wear it everytime, and based on my heartrate and the day’s activity, it suggests me a workout regeme that helps me keep fit. The smartwatch features are pretty limited, you’ll get all the notifications that your phone receives, you can also reply messages with custom pre synced messages..honestly, im not too concerned about not being able to “type” messages. The garmin App gives out tons of data, from the different sensors it has, about your wellbeing..I just love this watch.
I’ve bought a number of trackers which disappointed for various reasons, either the battery was poor or the functionality was lacking.
This however does exactly what it says on the tin, accurate enough for a watch and the battery life is exemplary.
I was worried slightly that the buttons would be confusing, but its so easy to navigate and set up the important functions and cut away the bits that aren’t necessary to the user that its a breeze.
Also it looks stylish on the wrist with a host of accessories to personalise it to your own personal taste.
Highly recommend this product Utg
This is a great watch for sports tracking and basic notifications from your phone. I’ve been an Apple Watch user for some years now but got fed up with charging it every night. This watch has a great battery life and I charge it every 2/3 weeks depending on my sports activity. If your not a Garmin user , You can also change the watch face to what suits you.
Excellent watch don’t have any complaints.
The S version is a great size, small and light enough to wear 24/7 and forget about it.
Coming from the 735XT, on which the HR broke, the build quality of the Fenix is fantastic.
Activity tracking is super, and I really wanted the additional features of maps, navigation, Garmin pay, and music, all of which I’m loving.
Maps are superb, so much better than breadcrumb of the 735.
Highly recommend this. I didn’t seem to get me for 385 then it went up another 70 the following day, so watch the prices.
I’ve had a Garmin Forerunner 245 for just over a year and clocked up over 1,200 miles of running with it. As a motivational device it has been superb. I just wanted more of the same – bigger screen, full topographical mapping, longer battery life, deeper analytics, Strava segment integration – and I have not been disappointed. Keeps things fun on my long hours of marathon training – following an endless variety of courses using its superb navigation features. Sleep and heart rate monitoring is not perfectly accurate (particularly at higher levels) – just the limitation of optical sensor method of measurement. I wear the Garmin HRM-Run chest strap for workouts (which also gives you running metrics such as cadence, vertical oscillation, etc – so well worth the extra). Have found the GPS to be very accurate so far. Now the Fenix 7 is here, the price of the 6 is very tempting and given how much I have used the Forerunner I could justify the upgrade. The hardware is only half of the story though. The brilliance of Garmin is its class-leading integration of hardware with software: the Connect and Explore apps and website (where you can create new workouts, training plans and courses to navigate) are absolutely superb. Was concerned watch (at 90g, compared to 38.5g of the Forerunner) might be too big and heavy. It IS big – to accommodate its 1.4″ screen and this may be an issue for some but I don’t even notice it on and I don’t have the thickest wrist. If that’s a deal breaker there’s always the 6 Pro or 6s Pro. Just extremely grateful to Garmin for taking a casual runner and turning him into a running machine!!
