So has that yesterday been a good day with your Postman??? maybe some things are different to when I posted this video, but the jist of it is still the same... just learn the buttons first, knowing where the back button is and the up and down, and of course the GPS button, as that opens and sets... takes a few good days, just keep playing with it, and if in doubt, use the back button... also take notes what you have adjusting things on, then you can always return back them if you find it works better... cheers :)

Anyone know any thing about the marine maps, there must be loads of people that sail inland lakes and rivers, that have bought the Fenix 6 as a cheap chartplotter alternative

Protip: if you're a highstrung American who finds that WatchUp's pleasant and polite "out for a Sunday stroll" voice is taking up too much of your time, increase the playspeed. In the vid click the gear, then playback speed, then 1.5. He almost sounds like a rude American hurrying through his dialog with little concern for his viewers! (I say this affectionately, as I myself increased the speed). Great vid WatchUp! I wonder if Active Duty Military personnel who don't find this vid use 1/10th of the features (I refer to the Tactix Delta Ballistics variant, which has the same software with some additions) . I know when I was in I only read tech manuals when I had to. I hope they find this vid. Bravo Zulu friend.

@WatchUP69MrRangeman3 жыл бұрын
Hey buddy... cheers for your support firstly, and with regards to mapping ideas, there's a few other good channels like DCrainmaker or Chase the Summit who really focus more on that side with their content... I stick with Explore, but I would suggest looking at Komoot... I find as users share their hikes and walks, it makes it easy to copy and use their uploads, some even post photos of their route, so really good.... small side, if you need more mapping then you have to pay a one off fee, I've got the whole world for £29 and that suits me, as it's really good... hope that helps, and thanks again :)

Thank you for the complex tutorial and review. For a few years I've been using Suunto Ambit 3 Peak - which is probably the best outdoor watch ever (for sure at its generation), but I started looking for a replacement. I kept looking into Garmin Instinct Solar, due to the price and some nice features, but it almost lack the "smartwatch part" (lack of this in Ambit3 Peak is one of the reasons I will let it go and look for new generation watch). Never considered plastic Polar watches, new Suuntos kept following Polar's design unfortunately, so I am left with the question: Instinct Solar / 5 Plus / 6 Pro :)

Cheers for the feedback my friend :) The Garmin's aren't like iWatches or Samsung watches, they've not got a bazillion pixel displays and they won't share photos, but looking for an activity tracker then these come alive... the 5 Plus and 6 Pro have built in maps... easy to use and don't look like a Fitbit. It all depends on your needs and what you really want it to do, or do you really needs it? Is a phone more than enough?

The Fenix 6x isn't the top of tech like an Apple watch, but what it does offer flaws the Apple watch, it's made well and with push buttons makes it brilliant to use in any weather conditions.. the display is a good choice as it's not there to show Tik Tok selfies LML :-P The Instinct is a fine watch too, was wearing it yesterday on a walk :)) It's pretty amazing to see how tech has become smaller and more compacted with functions, but feel there needs to be a limit or the future will be the watch yelling orders at us LML :-P Cheers!

Hey buddy... you can set it up using the iPad or iPhone, and like me, you can have the iPad and phone with the Garmin Connect, and the watch will connect to which ever is nearest.... you can also opt that the Fenix uses Wi-Fi, but really, the device connection is plenty for updates, so have switched off the Wi-Fi on the watch to save some battery reserve... hope that helps :)

To be honest I've not looked into this side so much... it does have the swimming side, but this looks like you need to enter your details, especially your reach... I'm not sure how it can be accurate, unless you press the button for a lap... I'm surprised nobody has covered this, but at the moment swimming pools are banned form use, well, in my area.
