Great product

Great product, I love all the applications for the different sports. However, for some reason the watch does not record distance or map of activity, frustrated for missing the activity. However, after power cycling the watch, the distance and map came back. I wish it had a self diagnostics to tell you before your activity that something is a miss. Overall, I love all the features of the watch.

Small band

Great watch, love the voodoo magic for sleep monitoring and body battery. The band is just too small for my wrist, and as it turns out, a lot of aftermarket bands are also too small for my wrist

Very enjoyable

Only have had this watch for about a week. Still kinda test driving. But for what I have done with it so far is pretty cool. But there is a whole lot more to learn and use.

Works like a clock and so much more.

Recently purchased since having GPS on your wrist makes sense for UTV adventures or camping in the backwoods and so far am very pleased with it. I have never owned another smart watch but glad I waited for this one.

Easy to use. Lots of functions

I received this as a gift from my fiancé a couple weeks back. This is my favorite smart watch compared to others. Has plenty of functions and you can turn on and off some of the features to maintain better battery status. It?s great. Love Garmin products.

Satisfactory Watch

I've had this watch for roughly a week. The features are great, and plentiful. The build quality is quite good, and I love the casing. The only drawback is the screen, above 50% brightness the screen turns bright blue, and is quite annoying. So this particular watch should be kept at 30% or below on the backlight. I was told this is a design feature of the watch by customer service.... but it is clearly a flaw with the screen. However, I digress, it won't be a daily wearable... which for the price point, I was hoping it would be. In conclusion, I don't regret my decision, but I don't see myself buying another garmin watch, or recommending it to friends / family. Chris

I received this watch as a gift from a friend! I love it and makes my surveying work so much easier. Can?t wait to see more features related to my field. For now I will have to explore all the great tools that this watch has! Thanks Garmin !

Every part the watch has is amazing.

So far, I really love this watch. It can be overwhelming trying to figure out how to use all the function the watch has because it's not really user friendly. This is due to the fact it's not touch screen so I feel garmin tried to figure out how to put all these functions into 5 buttons. I completely understand though that this watch is so rugged and long lasting because of this also, less parts to go wrong. Solar feature is amazing. I love how tough this watch is while also being a very beautiful piece of equipment. My biggest complaint on this watch is it has no microphone to talk on the watch as a phone. The watch tells me the phone is ringing, I can answer it on the watch.... but then need to go find my phone to talk on it...... biggest flaw. I thought the point to a smart watch was to not need my phone out all the time...... please don't let this complaint turn you away from this watch though, it is truly an amazing watch. Oh, and the water proofing is incredible.

Fenix 6 pro solar

Currently still learning all the features and how to operate the watch. At this point it is excellent for what I bought it for. I often hike in areas of no signal so although I have not been able to check this out yet I am excited for upcoming trips. Only receives the 4 stars due to easy of use. Im still learning how to load maps if possible and other features. Im also very used to apple products so there is bound to be a learning curve.

Lots under the hood!

Have worn a Fitbit for years and switched to Garmin when my activities outgrew Fitbit. This watch is phenomenal! There is so much more useful data! Exercise data. Built in GPS. Compass. Heart rate and pulse ox data. Longer battery life. I?m loving it!

A solid multi-sport watch

An update from the 5 Plus, which was stolen :-( The additional data and features are great; however, they seem to be coming at the expense of battery life (6 days compared to 9-10 days on my 5 Plus on a full battery). Overall happy with the product and will have to play with power management to try to extend battery life.

Fun Smart Watch

I received this as a gift. It took me a couple of attempts to learn my way around the how-to of navigating the different features of the watch and the app. It has a different feel than my previous first generation smart watch. After I figured out how to get through the different screens and get to the apps and widgets, I love it. The speed that it finds itself with GPS is impressive, and all of the data it has available is amazing. I like the way it maps your routes with both running or hiking. I haven't used it yet with too many workouts, but so far the heart rate and Pulse Ox metrics have helped me push harder (and also slow down at times) to extend and improve my workouts. The solar feature is great too, it's nice to not have to charge the watch every day, and the solar charging extends the battery even more.

Awesome and accurate!

I've had several fitness smart watches and even though the Fenix 6 is at a higher price, it is worth the money!

So far so good

I’ve only had my Garmin Fenix 6 solar for a few days. So far so good. It is defined a learning curve from the Apple Watch I’ve had for 6 years. I love the battery life and not having to charge every night. I’m enjoying the exercise apps

Second times a charm

First go around with this watch was a bust as it had a faulty screen, but the replacement is working as it should. My only wish is that it came with a touch screen. Lots of fitness tracking and info at your fingertips. Pulse oximetry is a little gimmicky. OK for showing trends but not something I would trust for deciding whether I needed to have supplemental oxygen

Good looking but functional

For a rugged, athletic, smartwatch manufacturer Garmin sure knows how to sexy it up when it comes to the mineral blue. I would have kept the watch it is just a tad small for my personal taste. Ended up going with the Tactix Delta which is right in line with what I am used to. But Garmins customer service is TOP Notch just like their products ...
