Product Information

It’s also significantly more comfortable than my old sports watch, which dug in to my wrist when lifting weights or doing press-ups. Alerts (time, distance, heart rate goals), courses, Garmin cycle map, race an activity, manual bike lap. During a short city run, the Fenix 6 proved just as impressive. What we loved here was how easy it was to hit the go button and get running, without worrying if it had found GPS yet, or that it was measuring things correctly, because the Garmin Fenix 6 is so reliable. Garmin offers a range of different options whether you want something less sporty or it's easier to dress up the Fenix with a smarter band to mask some of its sporty form factors. The Fenix 6 has the same sized 47mm watch case as found on the Forerunner 945, though the bezel surrounding the display gives it a bigger look on the wrist.

HR zones, HR alerts, HR calories, % HR max, % HRR, recovery time, auto max HR, HRV stress test with compatible strap, HR broadcast The Forerunner 945 is undeniably more sporty than the Fenix. From the silicone strap to the polymer body, it's a good fit for activities like running and swimming or if you have slim wrists. If you opt for the Fenix 6s, you're getting up to 9 days in smartwatch mode, up to 6 hours with GPS and music, and up to 25 hours in GPS. Firstly, instead of presenting a remaining battery percent number as seen in most smartwatches on the market currently, the Fenix 6 now reflects the remaining usage in time. So, say there’s 10% of the battery left, it will display this in days or hours. We are also able to offer an exchange to a different product if required, please specify this when returning your product.Across the board, these battery improvements are plentiful when compared to the Fenix 5 Plus. And - as mentioned earlier - these have largely been achieved via tweaks in the Fenix’s software which make management much more intuitive and allow users to better understand what kind of power they have remaining. This has been changed in a number of ways. Below this is the slightly more compact Fenix 6S, which has a 42mm case and thus a slightly lower battery life. There’s also a Pro version of these models available, which adds music compatibility, maps and Wi-Fi connectivity. Above that, there’s the more powerful Fenix 6X, which has slightly better battery life alongside music, Wi-Fi and maps as standard. The answer is that you'll get a few dedicated activity modes you won't get on the Forerunner 945. It misses out on things like XC Skate Ski support, Jumpmaster, Tactical, and Boat modes. These modes are the kinds of features that are designed with military personnel in mind. You can also build routes in Garmin's Connect companion app or other compatible third-party apps and upload them to the watch.

Garmin Fenix 6 review | TechRadar

There is one difference between that music player support and that's storage. The Fenix gives you space for 2,000 songs compared to the 1,000 songs you can squeeze onto the 945. So if you want more storage, it's the Fenix you want. It truly is a watch made for the adventurer. It might not be the prettiest out there, but this will be the last thing on the mind of those seriously considering investing in this device and looking to get the most out of it. We even took the Fenix 6 to a yoga class with us, but it felt a little bit bulky for such an activity and we took it off moments after the class started, so that's something to bear in mind. The Garmin Fenix 6 doesn’t introduce any software features that drastically set it apart from the previous year’s Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, but rather a number of tweaks and adjustments which all help make the watch more intuitive than before.The Fenix 6 range was released in August 2019, so expect there to be some juicy discounts on this top of the range wrist piece in the pre-Christmas sales.
