Great Features, But Failed After Less 2 Years

I bought it, was over the moon with it. With every system update was getting slower and slower. Now the light button and vibration mode don't even work

Still On My Wrist!!

This watch is still going strong after 4 years!!!

Constant Issues

I have had this Fenix 6 for over five years. It has never delivered like they said it would. Constant connection issues. This is at least the Fourth time I have had to re-register the device. It does a terrible job of tracking distance, sleep, heart rate, and temperature. The battery life is unpredictable. You also have to download multiple apps for one watch to function. It does not work well with Google. And they are constantly trying to get more information out of you, it's gross. I would not recommend Garmin watches.

Fenix 6s Sapphire

Comfortable and stylish for everyday use. Multiple layouts for a custom/unique feel. Easy to navigate between options. Easy connection with other Garmin products. Yardage is accurate for golf. Location for hiking, trails, exercise is spot on. Not a touchscreen, but the glass is durable. It has stood up to years of abuse (work, hikes, sports, exercise, etc). There are cheaper options, but this is a great watch for anyone who enjoys multiple activities. The battery life depends on many factors, but overall does well and only needs charged once other twice a week.

It’s a nice enough watch but it’s not at all intuitive to use. It doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and the one I found online isn’t very helpful. It also constantly unpairs itself with my WiFi and stops tracking my stats. It’s difficult to use while running when I want to use my map and change the song I’m listening to. When I click away from the map it stops tracking my run.

Best Fenix Ever

Gosh, I really feel like I won with this watch, even writing this review a few years later. I've played around with the Fenix 7 (awful) and the Fenix 8 (it's ok, seems like they fixed a few of the problems with the 7), but I'd still pick my 6 any day. The single-band GPS is less accurate, though, so if that's super important to you, you might consider one of the newer watches. I like that this watch still feels like a mountain tool, not like a wrist-mounted iPhone. The only bigger concern I have is battery life -- it will say I have 25 hours of run activity on a full charge, for example, but in reality it's more like 15 (yes, I've tested), but you CAN charge without pausing the activity, so if you're running slow enough it's no big deal :p

Problem Watch| Garmin Fenix 6s Solar

I thought I was getting a deal when I purchased this watch. I did have a small win, however, there are many losses. For some random reason the blue tooth function stops working. This requires me to re-install the watch. I’ve currently owned this watch for over 2 years. The solar function hasn’t worked the entire time I’ve had the phone. The good news, the wrist heart rate function appears to work well. If the watch wasn’t so expensive, I would buy another one. Totally have mixed feelings about this watch.

Good battery life and excellent activity tracking.

Deception Re Battery Life

I bought this less than 3 years ago, and I am now having to recharge it every 3/4 days!! No longer the 10 days when first purchased. The watch itself is excellent, however for the price the durability is poor!!! I have looked on the internet which suggests the whole watch should be replaced when you have battery problems?! I would be grateful for an explanation from Garmin

Mixed Reaction

While I love the fitness and health metrics the “solar charging” isn’t great and I live in New Mexico. Also, I have yet to be able to get the watch to connect to Garmin Express on my Mac. Finally gave up. I’ve had the watch for almost 2 years. Hoping to get a Venu next year seems to work better.

Very Frustrating

My watch does not synch on demand and loses Bluetooth connection haphazardly. I am using the Fenix concurrently with a Fitbit and the Fenix is losing. I like the functionality when it works, but when I lose a 10 mile hike because of some glitch makes me want to trash it.

Gps No Longer Connects

GPS connection is useless. It no longer tracks my runs. I have tried everything to rectify this issue.

My New Love

I purchased my first Garmin on this site and I immediately fell in love. It has so many incredible features and as an avid distance runner a lot of the features are perfect for me.

Watch Of My Dreams

This watch has more than enough features. It is great for tracking so many activities and I love that it links to strava. I bike packed across Scotland and downloaded gpx files directly to the watch. It vibrated/alerted me for each turn so the navigation on the trip was a breeze!

Love love love this watch and all of its capabilities.
