For those who love to swim, all of the Fenix 6 models offer a higher 10 ATM (up to 100 meters) water rating compared to the 5ATM (up to 50 meters) water rating on the 945. So when Garmin asked us if we’d like to try out some of their smart watches, Mr Tin Box was all for it. He had only one request – the fuss pot! Could he have an orange watch strap? Garmin were happy to indulge this request.

The Fenix 6 is a great example of Garmin’s position as one of the best smartwatch makers out there. Whatever’s thrown at it, expect it to handle with ease and with great accuracy, no matter where you are and what you’re doing.I’m finding new ways to use its functions all the time and it has already motivated me to start looking for a new physical challenges. I’ve recently completed a half marathon with a personal best time. While things haven’t changed that much since the Fenix 5 Plus that came before it (expect the same big, bold and, yes, quite bulky design), there is a lot to love about the latest upgrade.

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. This also feeds into the vast array of advanced training insights and analysis on offer on the 945 and the Fenix 6. Calendar, weather, battery saver, control smartphone music, play and control watch music, find my phone, find my watch, VIRB camera remote, Garmin Pay Move up to a Fenix 6, and you get a 1.3-inch, 240 x 240 resolution display and a 1.4-inch, 280 x 280 screen on the hulking Fenix 6X.

Compared to my older generation sports watch the process of setting up the Fenix 6 Sapphire was a breeze. 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. For dedicated sports modes, running, golf, cycling, and swimming (open and pool) are all present. There are also profiles for the likes of trail running, kayaking, skiing, and snowboarding here too, all with the ability to provide metrics specific to those activities.It’s also robust enough to deal with an active lifestyle, so I’m not worrying about it while playing with the children, getting in the sea or walking the dog in all weathers.

As with pretty much every other Garmin device we’ve reviewed, on-screen operations react instantly to button presses.
