Garmin Fenix 6, Premium Multisport GPS Watch, Heat and Altitude Adjusted V02 Max, Pulse Ox Sensors and Training Load Focus, Silver with Black Band

Great watch, variety of activities catered for. Found its metrics very accurate for the most part. Very clear screen. Easy to use. Good battery life between charges (over 14 days if you switch pulse ox levels off). Altimeter not the most accurate and needs to be calibrated regular. Still good after 3 years use. Drive my other half mad checking HR etc regularly 😂

Excellent sports watch/smart watch. Two weeks between charging and has everything you need in a sports watch. I’ve had Garmins before but this is the best I’ve had. The health options are excellent as well and the watch is easy to wear. A variety of watch faces can be downloaded from Garmin IQ and different coloured straps are cheap and easy to fit.

Excellent all round watch. Just buy it. !

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.

After 1 week:I wanted a forerunner 945 but there was no reduction for black friday. The finix 6 was reduced considerably & has the same feature set so the decision was made. Overall it has surpassed expectations. I was not sure about wearing a monitor all the time, but this has changed my mind.Physically it is much nicer in person than in pictures. I wanted the 945 as i thought the fenix would be too big but its nicely proportioned. Its not in any way heavy, sits well on my wrist, and does not get in the way.It looks good, kind of like a refined G-Shock.Ive cycled, ran and done some strength workouts with it and its comfortable for all, although care is needed during strength workouts not to forget about it and bump it aginst kettlebells/barbells/dumbbells etc. It feels like it would take abuse but i still dont want to test it.GPS is fantastically accurate, it tracks the road perfectly on the bike and during a run.Heart rate monitoring seems accurate. ive been comparing it to my Samsung health heart tracker and it usually matches perfectly, it is inaccurate however if the strap is too tight, but its easy to find the right point, as its exactly where the watch feels comfortable.I've worn it for sleep and have not found it awkward or annoying at all. I cannot comment on its sleep accuracy, but the amount of deep sleep/rem time it registers does coincide with when i wake up refreshed and rested vs groggy.Battery life is excellent. Out of the box it had just under 50% and after 8 days it was at 18%, at which point i charged it just because i was heading out for a cycle. in that time it had two cycles and a run using the GPS.The "MOVE!" notifications are great, and made me realize that I dont move much from one end of the day to the other when working, so now i get up every hour for a quick stroll and stretch.It does notifications well too, letting me know if the phone is ringing, if i have a meeting or if i got a message. I expected nothing in this area as i read it was poor as a smart watch, but it does everything that i need and more.Nothing is perfect, and the biggest negative is its tracking of strength workouts. the rep counter is poor, and its a bit of a chore overall to create workouts & then use the watch correctly while doing workouts, often while gassed and not in the best shape for concentration. Ive found it best to enter workouts in via the app, track the rounds with the watch as im working out and correct the reps and times afterwards. not ideal but it suffices and allows me to keep all workouts in garmin connect.I would dock only half a star for this, but unfortunately thats not possible on Amazon.Will give an update after a few months to notify future potential buyers if everything is still living up to expectations.Update after 7 months:Still a fantastic piece of kit, one of the very very few items that has lived up to expectations.

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.

Upgraded my forerunner 735xt...this watch is a totally different level...so many features, looks great and a long long battery which sold it to me!

If you’re not bothered about OS maps or music then this watch ticks all the boxes. You can create a route in the Garmin app and download it to the watch which works fine for road running. It then works like a basic sat nav. But the garmin app is. It great a creating off road routes which is a shame.Great battery life. Used it for swimming the other day and that’s got some great features (drill times, rest times etc).It also looks great with the silver bezel.Would recommend to anyone that wants a decent garmin watch upgrade.
