Hey folks - thanks for watching! Don't forget to hit up the full review with all the accuracy and related testing here: dcra.in/Fenix6

This is a guy who has a job he loves and doesn't take it for granted. Thanks for the hours and hours of work to provide in depth reviews so we don't waste money on products that don't meet our priorities.

Boom, done. Absolutely no need to look elsewhere for a fenix 6 review. This was totally perfect. Thanks dude.

Solid video! Thanks!

Just ordered Pro 6. Love the scenery where you are. I'm former 5,10k and marathon runner ( low 2:20's ) now 66 yrs old so the larger screen and metrics will keep interest up. I have two bulging duscs but running slower is less painful than walkiing. Great video!

WOW! That speedtalking class really paid off.

Nice Review! I really dig the "Pace Pro" feature on the Fenix 6. Unfortunately I've discovered that it's limited to 14:00 miles as a maximum pace. This is fine for most Marathon runners but once you get into Ultra marathons up to 100 miles in length only a small percentage of ultra runners are running that kind of pace. Most are in the 16-20 minute/mile range. I hope garmin can update this feature in Garmin Connect!

The best written review I’ve ever read! Thanks for the hard work 👍🏻👍🏻

Looking forward to the nacho cheese dispenser.

You consistently do the best objective and most complete reviews! Most reviewers would completely miss the nacho cheese dispenser...and their review would be substandard because of it. Thank you!

Dude, you are absolutely the BEST reviewer in the world and I hope you actually make money from all this hard work! I am not a sports buff by any means, although I've done a few adventure races, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, done Santiago de Compostela's Way by bike, etc. but all for leisure ... I have always been a fan of Suunto and I not only love watching your reviews but also have recommended them to a lot of friends whoa are more "athletes" than me. THANK YOU and keep up the outstanding work!!

14:15 'just seeing if your're reading' -> Yes ^^

Ray, after all these years... you're still the best. Thanks for having high quality reviews that are based off real analysis of product and function. Do you think there's going to be any impact to longevity/quality of battery life in the 6x solar w/constant solar charging?

Thanks to your video I sold my Fenix 3 and finally upgraded. I was pretty happy with the Fenix 3 but the enhanced mapping, health metrics, and improved battery life really won me over. Went with the Fenix 6 Sapphire this time around 🤙

Thank you Mr Rainmaker, you’ve done a great job explaining about this watch, ai have just purchased one and this video comes very handy, much easier than reading the manual… many thanks. Maz

Dude, you are awsome! Thanks a million for this and your website, it's where I check first before buying new gear . Awesome!

I own a fenix 5 and i still like it, i won't upgrade because of the pricetag but still i enjoy watching your reviews. You are doing an incredible job. Thanks!

I've been wanting solar on the Fenix/Tactix models for a couple years now. Glad to see that they have started implementing it.

Great review as always, complex topic in a quick review. I’ll read the full review tonight. First impression is that Garmin is getting way pricey. Their base model Fenix, which is now the Pro, is $700! What they are calling their base is really the same as their high end running watches, but with the Fenix look. I am waiting for someone to change the market by providing a 200-300ish dollar watch with maps, music, training, open water swim, power meter connectivity and multi-sport mode. There is no reason that couldn’t be done except for some unwritten agreement that all these things are only in “high end” watches. Someone needs to break the cabal.

Thank you for this, went out and got one after watching this and couldn't be happier - thanks!

Nacho cheese... definitely need to upgrade from my 3HR

Throughout the most of video I was sure my old Garmin5 is good enough, but the Nacho Cheese Dispenser changed my mind!

You have made me realise I would use 4% of the features, but looks great

Great review, concise and no fluff. How refreshing, much better than a lot of reviewers.

Thanks for this mega in depth review! The most informative one I've seen yet!

You're an amazing reviewer! That's all I can say. Thank you and keep the good work!

I originally got a samsung watch 4 classic and wasn't feeling it because of the battery life and size. I went back to best buy and got myself a Fenix 6x Pro Solar. It's worth every dollar. I'm so in love with it I cannot complain for the price. I just love that I'm going to get weeks of power before I have to recharge it.

Great review. Gonna exchange my 5x to the new 6x. The lost space on the big bezel always bugged me.

I'm gonna bet that the Expedition Mode will be a huge hit with the military persons. That's the sole reason that I'm considering this over the 5x

Great video! I have the Fenix 5X and have been waiting to see what the upgrades are. The solar power looks super intriguing. I hope this is something they really do continue to develop in a big way.

Love my Fenix 5x have no complaints about it, but once the price drops on the solar model a little I’ll be buying that

The NCD is what sold me on this (Nacho Cheese Dispenser)

I'm not sure if you know the mtb youtuber Skills with Phill, but you two speak almost with the EXACT same tone and intonation :) Great work as always, love your in depth videos!

Garmin has finally, truly, jumped the shark with this. Thanks for the review, I'm good.

Great review, once again. I listened to you back in 2017 when I saved all my gold pennies to buy a Fenix 5X... And now I am rather tempted by the 6X solar... or the Tactix!... 🤣 Can't wait for Christmas !!!... 🥳 THANK YOU. Stay safe. 👍🏻

You are a great content creator. We learn very useful and detailed information on the web page or on the youtube channel. I am very grateful for that.

1:05 my epilepsy is activated

Gonna buy it just for the nacho cheese dispenser! Take My money Garmin

Dude, beautiful nature in the background!

Thanks dude. Learned a lot today. I have the 5s and recently won a MARQ athlete, a lot of the features on the 6 series also apply to my watches.

You are good at this. Congrats for the channel!

Good job. Thank you. Because of your review I bought one I’ll get it on Monday. 🌴🤙🏽🌺

Thanks for the reviews, I got a Forerunner through your site based on your reviews. Best in the business

Your reviews are always the best (bought Tacx Neo then Neo 2, Fenix 3, Fenix 5 and now 6 Pro). Superb job !

Great review! But my F5+ has already so many features I don't need or use, why pay more for more things I don't use? E.g. popularity routing leads me along main roads although I live in the woods, or the navigation, which I used only to try it out. What I need is navigation along a pre-defined track, the maps, accurate GPS and flawless connection to the sensors, the rest is nice or even useless!

Love my Fenix 2. Awesome for triathlons. Maybe the 5s will go on sale now 😁

"added nacho cheese despenser", I like it, good humor hahaha

Just got issued one of these for free, never had a "sMoRt" watch. Trying to learn about it. Pretty cool so far.

They should have a solar wristband imo, tons of realestate

Ray, could you inform me on the scratch resistency-durability differences between sapphire and other glass editions? How big of a difference is it?

Nice video, I just bought my fenix 5, 3 days ago because it had a big discount and I'm glad I bought it because it still has everything I need with a bargain price. Thanks to the fenix 6.

As always, very informative videos and the super-in-depth review. Thanks for doing what you do and keeping the rest of us updated on all this tech!

I can't wait to get my nacho cheese dispenser!!!!!!

This was so detailed. Thank you

just switched to 6s pro from my 5s plus and absolutely enjoying the nacho cheese dispenser! 14:16

Thanks for hastening your speech in order to fit the review in! Lots of super good info. You earned a sub!

I’ll stick to my fénix 3HR, the 5 was cool but didn’t really offer anything new. The 6 just cost too much and the base model is a downgrade. Honestly, the only thing on my wishlist is longer battery life. I’d like some software updates, I miss some features my Polar V-800 had.

I was waiting for cheese dispenser from fenix 2. Finaly it here.

Awesome Ray, when Garmin said the new 945 features will not be coming to the Series 5 it was obvious a 6 was on it's way with these features

Expedition mode might just be useful for first time solo hikers who are kinda afraid they'll lose their way in the forest/mountains

Thank you so much for the video! I love all your reviews and especially the in-depth reviews helps me while deciding which clock to take :)

A great review, as ever. Fantastic location. Watch is looking good. Maybe it’s time to upgrade from my Fenix 3 HR. That’s the watch sorted, now can I have your life?

Thanks for the video. I have 5s and absolutely don’t see any need to upgrade. It’s expensive and I think my 5s will at least last for another 5-7 years.

I get a strange amount of satisfaction delving into something I know I could never afford (735xt is as high as I managed), but one simply cannot pass a milestone DC Rainmaker review. :)

Changed playback speed to 0.75x. perfect.

Great video. Is it worth upgrading from my Fenix 3 yet? I'm not really limited by the 3 at all. But it would be nice to have something faster with legit storage on it.

The expedition feature will be great for mountaineering! For an example, a permit for Aconcagua lasts three weeks (and I will probably spend two weeks acclimatizing) so not having to bring an additional charger is super convenient.

Wow, didn’t expect to see the Garmin Fenix 6 series out this early...I guess we can officially say/expect a new Fenix series every two years, with a “plus” model in between each of those years... ...also two year update cycle for the 945/745/645 etc I like it... Also, I can’t wait for all the new Garmin HRM chest straps with Bluetooth. Hopefully there is also a wrist band to compete with the Polar OH1+

14:21 added nacho cheese dispenser, awesome! Hahahaha nice video man!

Still really think a Seiko Kinetik style charging would make the most sense for watches for running and hiking. In the winter I always have the watch under my clothing to save battery and avoid cooling the wrist. So during the part of the year when topping up the battery is needed, solar won't help.

Wow! That is some watch. A watch for Galileo….he was the first person to wear a clock on a chain around his neck (-;. What do you think about the medical data…does it do a good job? Sleep data? Blood pressure monitor?

Expedition mode looks awesome, I think people do actually use it. Thats what I need for when I do a 3 week trip into the mountains, my battery pack won't last that long

can't wait to see some of this on a vivoactive 4

Nice insight as always Ray. Great to see some detail on the new features. Particular the Nacho cheese machine! Does that add extra weight?

Liked and subscribed. You've been my 1-stop-shop in determining what to buy since you started your website. Just now subscribed because I heard the "like and subscribe" comment around the 7m38s mark. Would've subscribed sooner, but I didn't know you had a KZfaq channel in addition to your website; both which are *very* well done!

I got excited when I read about the nacho cheese dispenser,snap on runs yay! 😆 Then I read the just checking.... 😥 Farming needs to incorporate this feature.

Question for you...does the step counter remain accurate when using trekking poles? I've been amazed at how few watches do.

Hi Ray, nice review ! are the increased data fields coming to the 945 ? Thanks !

Nacho cheese dispenser? YAY!

I'm still looking for that added nacho cheese dispenser :)

Exempt for the solar feature am staying with 5 plus

Any idea the scratch resistance of the sapphire vs gorilla glass that is in the solar versions? I'm thinking about getting a 6x plus solar titanium and was wondering about the scratch resistance of the gorilla glass. Also, any idea if a screen protector would interfere with the solar capabilities of the glass? Thanks in advance!

Nacho cheese dispenser......gold!

I love your Garmin reviews!!! Great videos and website!!! When is the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro review coming?

Haha, that subtitle on #8 (9:25)

Great information. I am hoping this brings down the price of the 5 plus.

Well prepared review with a sufficient amount of data for us, well done.🙏🙏

Copying a feature is a tough thing to say. I have seen very similar ideas coming up from people in completely different companies and fields. One company was faster in implementing but it doesnt mean its a straight copy ;)

Thanks man, great video, as usual. This new garmin is impressive, but I am afraid I will wait a little, so the price decrease a little. I took advantage of a discount price to get my most recent Fenix 5 Plus. ;)

Can't wait to eat my cheese on that!

Great review as always! Thanks!

Thanks for so detailed review, although I am not native English speaker, but your full review really helps me before buying these watches.

How many YEARS can I expect to get out of this watch under "normal" use; time, hiking, etc???

Like and comment for the amount of effort put into your work 🤙

I just ordered a 6X Sapphire, can’t wait to use the nacho cheese dispenser and auto pilot 😁

Just got 6x pro, monster of a watch!

Folks I’m glad to introduce the Garmin Fenix 7x which now in addition to solar now has a kinetic dial in the back of the watch which rapidly charges your watch if you’re running 👏🏻 Is it me, or has the progress of innovation since the original fenix 1 become quite boring beyond the fenix 3 HR?

Yes, "I am reading" :)

Great review as always. I have just placed an order for Garmin 6. Sapphire because it is half price deal at the moment in Australia.

Garmin 6X PRO now $150 off because people realized that there's no nacho cheese dispenser? Thanks for the head's up, excellent review!
