fēnix 6X Pro Solar – Mostly Great, But Pixel 7 Pro Connectivity Issues Are a Dealbreaker Hi all, I've been using the fēnix 6X Pro Solar for a while now and wanted to share my experience. There’s a lot I like, but also one major issue that’s really frustrating. Pros: Battery life is excellent. Easily lasts days, and the solar charging is a great bonus. I use the watch mainly for notifications (calls, messages, etc.), and that works quite well when it's connected. Step tracking is fun, though not super accurate — more motivational than precise. Cons: The biggest issue is with Bluetooth connectivity on my Pixel 7 Pro. The watch keeps disconnecting due to "security" reasons. It’s a known issue, and I’ve tried everything — latest updates, resets, re-pairing. Still, about once or twice a month, I have to manually re-pair the device. This really hurts the user experience, especially for a high-end device. Honestly, I’d be happy if Garmin offered a way to return or exchange this model for a newer one at a fair price. I love the hardware and battery, but this persistent connection issue is just too disruptive. Would love to hear if others have found a more permanent solution or had better luck with newer models.
