Rated 4 out of 5

Lots of features

Maybe a little too many. This watch has 5 buttons and remembering which does what is frustrating. I have had to look at more than one section in the manual to simply turn a feature on or off. For someone that only needs to monitor one or two functions it's great but I need to monitor heart, lungs, sleep and steps. Nearest I can tell you need a separate monitor to get BP. Which means I will just keep my cheapo watch handy. Have only had it a few days but I am not sure I will ever be comfortable with it. Does what I need, not sending it back.

Great Features

My boyfriend got me this FENIX 6S for Christmas & I?m absolutely in love with it. It?s lightweight & it looks nice on my wrist. I?m still learning how to use it & I'm finding it does more than I actually thought. She?s definitely a keeper!!!

Awesome watch, great features

I bought this a couple of months ago and really happy with it, it looks good and suits my slim wrist, love all the data and stats. I would only recommend that Garmin allow you to edit the sleep stages - I often wake up during the night for longer than it says which means my sleep score is often in accurate and although you can edit the sleep and wake time you cannot edit the awake times which would be great if they could upgrade that in future software releases.

Finally a watch that does (nearly) all

I love how long the battery lasts. Huge plus. That was my biggest issue with the vevo active for is that you had to charge it almost once a day. But not with the Fenix. I can go nearly a whole week. The only thing that it?s missing is the plus features that are on the latest Venu watches. If I could return text messages verbally than this watch would literally be perfect. But let?s hope for the next edition!

Great watch

This is a great watch. Bought post pregnancy to get myself back into shape. It?s a great motivator. The only reason I have given it 4* instead of 5* is the 6S has less stylish accessories. This watch never leaves my wrist to get more complete data, so it would be nice if I could make it look more stylish at work. The larger versions (more likely worn by men!) have so many more options. Why is the smaller version (more likely to be worn by women) given less choice? I would like a titanium wrist band too please!

Great performance, better than Apple Watch!

I have always wanted a smart watch and Garmin helped me with my selection. I still haven?t used all the features, but I?m slowly learning the ropes! Thanks Garmin!

Love the watch, but why is the band so short?

I love the watch. This was an upgrade from my Instinct. This one has a much more polished look and the screen is easier to read. Has all the bells and whistles. The only complaint I have is the band is very short. I now have to spend another $50 to get a normal-length band. I see others have also commented about the length of the band, too, and am wondering why Garmin has not corrected this.
