About this deal

It has a 10 ATM water rating, so can withstand water pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 metres. Turn-by-turn directions are clear and easy to see and follow, with large bold arrows indicating which way to turn and when. As you approach a turning, the map’s screen is switched from the map to a high-contrast, large-scale instruction with distance remaining.

Added support of Bouldering. Use the LAP key to start/end routes at the gym. One can also log route difficulty, number of attempts or completions. One of the reasoning behind adding a touchscreen to the Fenix 7 was to make it a better watch to use off the run, and it works — it is easier to navigate around the watch, and read Whatsapp messages from your wrist. Garmin has also added an on-watch app store to the Fenix 7, which means you can install Connect IQ apps from the watch, rather than having to sync from your phone.The Garmin Fenix 6 comes in three sizes, from 42mm to 52mm in diameter (Image credit: TechRadar) Garmin Fenix 6 price and release date

Added support for displaying metrics from an indoor rowing machine that supports the ANT FE-C profile (e.g. Concept 2 with the PM5 module). This includes new fields for the Indoor Rowing app: Distance, Pace, Power, and Stroke Distance. Fixed an intermittent issue where the map would switch to a Dark theme when previewing a PacePro course. Improved Broadcast Heart Rate and added support for simultaneously broadcasting through ANT+ and Bluetooth. It’s a ruggedly built device that’s noticeably larger than most fashion focused smartwatches, like the Apple Watch 5 or Galaxy Watch 3. Added support for disabling workout videos during an activity.

Garmin Fenix 6 lineup at a glance

It is really easy to live with and looks the part. A rugged, yet stylish sports watch that states to the outside world: “I do more than just the day job”. Those with smaller wrists will struggle with the 47mm version, but the 42mm version is smaller than many smartwatches. Added pop-up to Pulse Ox Measuring feature if the device detects too much movement and cannot get an accurate measurement. The VO2 Max data you find on Fenix 6 watches comes from Firstbeat and they’re one of the best in the business in tapping into heart rate variability data and crunching the numbers to analyze recovery and training effects.

Different watches in the Fenix 6 and 7 lines carry different price tags, with the basic models costing less than those with Sapphire crystal or Power Glass. However, all new Fenix 7 watches are more expensive than their older counterparts. Added support for Grit and Flow metrics to the Mountain Biking activity, which measure the difficulty and performance of each ride. Added support for Action Menu during Golf. This should provide a more consistent and discoverable way to access more functions (actions) using the 'Start' key. As its name implies the Fenix 6 solar variant is a bit different. It comes with Power Glass which is a transparent solar charging lens that sits on top of the watch face. This converts the sun’s rays into energy which adds an additional 10-15% battery life.

Garmin Fenix 6 vs Fenix 5 Plus: What’s different?

You can also connect the watch to WiFi networks for on-device activity uploading. Solar charging and battery life Added support for connecting to a shifting sensor (Sram Etap or Di2 bike) that supports up to 4 front and 12 rear gears. Though the refinements made are modest at a glance, they add up to make the already great Fenix 6 line even better.

Updated the software update process to allow the user to defer the installation. This replaces the automatic install during the user's sleep window. Fixed an issue where average speed during a Surf activity may be higher than the max speed intermittently. Thanks to the in-built, wrist-based heart rate and pulse Ox2 monitors, the watch can provide a wide range of data without the need for additional external sensors. Added support for training and breathwork workout categories to properly handle launching workouts from calendar view and prompting yoga, strength, cardio, breathing, and pilates workouts. Fixed an issue where customers with high resting heart rate would intermittently not accrue intensity minutes.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.
