I can do two 8 hour hikes in a row with full GPS mode and still have days of normal smart watch mode left. Awesome watch!

Have owned this almost a year and love it except for a couple of huge frustrations. 1) I got the Titanium one and that was a huge mistake because it scratches really easily.. I wear it 'full time' and very active... this is not the model to get for active people... I'm starting to feel embarrassed when I go out because at this point the watch looks like trash ( still works great but scratched bracelet and bezel ) 2) when I ride my bike I have several connected devices... I have a power meter, my headset for music, my phone , and HR monitor and Garmin radar ( Varia ) . Ever since I added the Varia I can no longer listen to music and have the Radar connected at the same time. This is annoying as hell considering i paid 1K for this gadget. This is clearly a known issue form garmin since this is a well documented issue that lots of folks are reporting.. unfortunately there is no fix to be found. Overall I love this device and the Garmin ecosystem, but for 1K i expected a more rugged watch.

Hi Jacques, great to hear back from a long term user. Shame the test of time hasn't agreed with the titanium bezel.

The app & watch face slot limit must be removed. It isn't perfect by any means, but is among the best in class: considerably better (and much pricier!) than its predecessors. For those wondering, a screen protector does not appear to affect the solar charge. Garmin Express will indicate that updates are due and may take a hundred syncs, updates, disconnects and reconnects to change the status to "up-to-date". Very clunky. Ski maps (and I believe, Golf courses) can be deactivated if unneeded. But that's not good enough for Me. I wish they could be removed altogether to empty storage. It's also rather unclear what the differences between the pre-installed maps and Garmin's City Navigator and Cycle Maps are, and whether City Navigator & Cycle Maps can be installed on the device. I haven't tried, as I have not the maps in question.

Seems many people have this opinion too, do you not believe the Gorilla glass will do the trick?

To your comment about attaching the watch to your bike’s handlebars but having to do without heart rate monitoring. You could wear a chest strap and monitor you HR that way, correct? Or were you saying that if the user is in the turn by turn map mode that they just wouldn’t be able to see their HR? Thanks, in advance.
@wiggle3 жыл бұрын
Hi Rana, I should have been more clear on this. You can certainly get the HR data from a chest strap when using it in Navigation mode. There is even a dedicated bike mount available to make it less of a bodge too. Hope that helps

I bought this watch recently... After first charge with a USB cable on the screen I got notification : 9d ( nine days battery life). Next day I placed it under the sun to charge it from sun energy but nothing had changed - still 9 days of battery life remained. What benefits the sollar charging has if battery life is not changing ?
@leriaslanishvili17519 ай бұрын
I had Casio G-5000 with sollar charging for five years . I have never replaced the battery and it was charging with sollar power. I thought Fenix 6s pro was the same. Sollar power doesn't affect battery charging.

Nearly 13 minutes, you never actually tested whether the solar actually charges the watch or not. If one pays a premium for solar charging, i would like to know if it solar charges? How fast? In what conditions? Or is it so minimal you could tell it actually charges at all?

is there any way you go on an expedition or hiking adventure where the activity takes longer than 80 days to turn off the watch completely and just wear the watch and charge it? maybe attach the watch to your pack and let the sun charge it to full status. if so im sold on this item. otherwise how can i use it when im lost and the watch died. at least there could be a way to charge and revive this.

Hi Schizo, Good question. It will charge when off but will be a very low trickle charge. Although a hassle on a big enough adventure, having a battery pack would be the best idea 👍 Hope that helps
