What do you think to Garmin's "Power Screen" technology?

Thanks for the review! it's always good for me to see these reviews on the smaller sized watches. Since I have a thin wrist it helps me gauge how it may look on me.

One of the best videoclip reviews I’ve viewed . Thanks for sharing

Actually this review was better than 99% of other smart watch "reviews" blabbing about pay with your smartwatch nonsense. I need outdoor, sports function! So many important informations in this review. Thank you.

Dude this is like an amazingly clear and super high quality video. I love it. I'm a huge Garmin fan and I'm trying to get my hands on one of these.

Best review I’ve seen for this watch. 👍🏻

What a great video, mate! 100% what I was looking for! Cheers

What a watch!! These things are really moving forward. Garmin is doing really good with invitation

Thanks for the fantastic review... just ordered my upgrade from the Fenix 5s :)

The Fenix 6 series is the king of activity trackers. From the amazing build quality to its ability to track a wide range of activities. I love it!

Thanks, very informative video! Regarding "the bad side" (8:08) to strapping the watch on the bike, i.e., not getting heart rate, there's a solution: wear a chest strap HR monitor. It can report to the watch.

Exactly the information I was looking for, brilliant review. You got my 👍 thanks man.

Great review. Thanks. I actually have th 6 pro solar but its so feature packed that one I got beyond the basics I visit videos like this just to build my knowledge on different features that I may use occasionally. This video was really useful for that.

Awesome review , helped me with my 5plus upgrade .

Awesome review, to the point and you listed the Pro's and Cons nicely thanks Mate

I am proper lusting after this watch 😍

Perfect review! 🙏🏾 thank you

Great review, definitely thinking about replacing my iWatch.

awesome review! you have me sold. 1:23 which bike is that?

Awesome review, just got this watch, helped me figure it out!! Thanks

Great video, top quality production 👌🏻

Sorry, great review but I couldn't help raising an eyebrow when you said it transfers 100% of the sun's energy into the battery :D

Great review ! I’ll be ordering one soon !

GREAT review!

Very neat beard man 👍

Hi the best review of this watch I've seen, thanks alot! Just a quickie, which watch face is that, looks great! Thanks

Nice video, gr8 review, love this watch i have the fenix 5s and I'm tempted to upgrade for the solar capabilities. One thing i noticed they used springbars now instead of screw in bars like in my 5s... 🤔 Not sure if thats an improved feature or not.

Great watch and almost perfect. Just don't understand why they would waste space with a compass on the bezel that could have easily been etched into a much wider photovoltaic bezel instead.

great review and definitely pushed me to buy . Even though the solar does nothing for me but seems to have a few extra small extra features but in my opinion it looks better. I have gotten bored with black fitness trackers how would you rate this shale grey colour? also do u think it would mix well with other colour bands ?

Good job man !!!

I am going to get me one for this year

thanks great review

Thank You very informarmative🤓

Thank you! :)

Thinking about upgrading my Forerunner 235 (about 5 years old at this point 😳) to this one! I might have to relearn all the fancy new updates since my current one doesn’t have half these features!!

Oh I see it does 👍

Great review thanks , just wondering can this version have preloaded music or audible books?

Hey James! Great video. I am considering picking this up but have 2 questions: 1. Does this model have the same "bluish tint" backlighting display issue as the other 6S and 6S Sapphire have? 2. Does the Amethyst steel look very purple in person? Wish they had solar in black :/ Worried this will be too purple but hard to tell. Thanks in advance!

👍 thanks

Great review! Is there a difference between the 6S Solar & 6S Sapphire (other than the solar)? Same 42"mm etc?

Hey I really like your video! I just have quick question: I was just about to hit the buy button on the 6s pro solar when I accidentally saw that it's 14.2 mm thick (vs 13.8mm for the 6s pro). Is this due to the solar panel and doesn't that make the watch even bulkier than the 6s pro?

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.

Oswm video bro

Looks great, and I'm considering buying the watch. But curious about the swimming features. Did you test it for pool swimming? I have the polar V800 now, so this would be a big upgrade.

Thank you for the good review. Question: if the battery is completely drained can I use the solar power only to charge the watch without the power cable and how long it's going to take to get enough power and use the watch again let's say for day or two? Thank you!

I will wait for the Fenix 7 which will probably has a touchscreen and ECG.

Great review. Quick question, do you get the blue-ish screen issue? Like the backlit got washed out, quite a few reported but only in sapphire version I think

Great review. I have owned the 5s for just over a year, would you recommend an upgrade to the 6s?

Does no one find it strange that none of garmins high end rugged watches have a touchscreen?

I am switching from the Apple Watch 5 to either the Instinct Solar or the Fenix 6s Pro (solar), which one do you recommend me? And if I chose the Fenix, is the solar edition really worth it?

Is a really good watch! Battery rated for 4 days but i used it for almost 7 days w out recharging but it got some cons like i wish it focus on counting steps cause when i dont bike thats what i focus on. Samsung does this count steps perfectly

I have Vivoactive 4 and can't decide on upgrade

sei molto bravo

Thanks for the great review! do you find the 6s to be as comfortable during activity/sleep as the forerunner 945/745? I'm debating between the 6s sapphire and the forerunners.

Hi! Nice channel, i´ve just subscribe. I´m wondering here which make more sense in overall this one or a 955 solar?

Does it have timer ? Countdown timer? I couldn't find it.

Hey guys, does the 6s pro solar have surfing on the sports list? Great video, if it has surfing I’m sold!

it a very good watch

Hi, great review! What version as re you using in the review. I.e. what colour watch and band? Thanks

Hello mate, thanks for a good review. May i ask a few follow up questions ? Im thinking of getting a Garmin 6x pro for hiking, but i was wondering if it can be recharged by a power bank, and does it take long to recharge , do it require a lot of power to refill.

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.

Garmin fenix is not actually a watch. Its a tool that looks like a watch

Hi I’m considering getting either the Fenix 6 or 6s but not sure which one would look better on my wrist. I have relatively slim wrists at 16.5cm. I noticed the 6s looks kind of small on your wrist so was wondering what size wrists you have? Thanks.

Not sure if you are aware... Garmin offers bike handle bar mounts for some of their watches... not sure which models though...

Does it have golf courses on it

may I ask what is your wrist circumference? (I am trying to decide if 6s or 6 is better for me (with 17cm wrist)

Hello, I’m Raka from Indonesia. Is still worth to buy this sport watch in 2023? I hope your answer to help me. Thankyou!

I just looked at the price and got a fright :-) I'll look at the others

When do u think is the fenix 7 coming out bruv?

Yep and yep,

Can I also ask, as clearly you like your mtb, what is the best widget to use for following routes and finding good trails? Is it possible to bluetooth to some headphones directions or get the garmin to talk instead, wouldn't need to look at the watch then. I've been using Trailforks with a garmin edge but just bought this solar watch, will sell the computer now. In the end my iphone with komoot was best for navigation but rubbish at finding trails, there doesn't seem a perfect solution to find techy trails

Having a hard time to choose between the 6s solar and 6s pro solar. What do u think ?

I've just bought a instinct from wiggle Garmin are offline bit of bad timing 🙃

how is your light on your solar? mine looks like it doesn't work!

I have the 6x pro Saphire one. In My opinion a Sports Watch Needs Saphire glass 🙂

How is the bluetooth connection when you use bluetooth headset?

Great watch!.... for my wife’s wrist

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.

Is this the very latest Fenix? when was it released?

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 ?

I have a question, does it comes with an inbuilt mic so that we can receive incoming calls. Also can we reply to the notifications here?

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.

I just received my fenix 6 pro solar, whats the big difference between the 6s pro solar?

Are Garmin better than Casio ,thanks

What colourway is this

What could be different btn Sunto7,9's GPS vs Garmin 6x Gps..? And Sunto gives more battery time with GPS👀👀

Does it have a storm alert function?

is the solar charging really effective?

Is this the smallest version 42mm?

are u still using 6s or 7s?? small size? I got 6inch wrist, still deciding

You said about expeditions what at day walkers ? Does it count steps ? Does it come with maps ?

I'd love a camera built in. 1080 not a selfie camera I mean a real proper camera

Is it touch screen? Or do you have to use the buttons on the side to select everything?

which watch is preferally for health alerts

Thinking about to choose this one, but got the feeling that the colour is a bit purple?! Or is it more grey? Theres no Chance to see it in real here, so someone might help? Would be Great!

How does it compare to Fenix 6 Pro Solar? Just size?

Does it trake your sleep

Hi , Recently we lost famous person during his workouts with heartatack. Is this watch help people to avoid or give alerts . In what type of watches will give this type of alerts so that it will help every one

Does the 6s Pro Solar comes in black? Most of what I saw sold on REI, Best Buy, and Amazon in the U.S. are grayish. The face also says "Women of Adventure" (I'm assuming this can be changed.)
