This was just what I was looking for, great review !! I wasn’t sure which watch to get between the Fenix 6 Pro Solar and the Forerunner 945 but this helped me make up my mind. I have just bought one on special offer for 499€ 😁👍
same here... Received mine today. It's not black however, it's rather anthracite grey in colour? It's hilarious that the Garmin official store still sells them for 700+ pounds and John Lewis says reduced to clear for 369
@@jezhellewell7690 Thanks, I hope so. Was just going to stick with my 3 until it gave up the ghost….which it did on Saturday. Had it 7 years though, so got my money’s worth out of it.
I OWN THE FENIX 5-X SAPHIRE and it's been very reliable for the past two years. the battery lasts me apx 15 days. and that's not ever powering down. i'm sure it would last a few days longer if I powered down during the times im asleep. the FENIX 6-X PRO seems like the screen has a sharper and more colorful image/ display am I wrong? or is that the case? also Alot of Marines I know own one I am a U.S. Marine as well and the military aspects of it are good {Digital compass and Navigation from Satellite connection, and loadable mapps}
Well done. Brilliant review. I ordered one yesterday on spec. It was on sale here in Canada. A big discount. Thank you Black Friday. (A crazed day, sometimes a week of consumer excess in North America). My much older fenix 3 is on the way out. It's 8 years old. It served me well.
Just saw the offer too. Excellent price. Looking into the 6 Pro Solar or the Forerunner 955 (first smart outdoor watch for me). In your opinion, is the touchscreen feature on the 955 a a good one on this type of watch?
@@carlosbarrios2203 Hi Carlos. I used to use a forerunner when I was running. Knees said stop years ago. I use the fenix for walking hiking swimming biking and moving! Consider based on what's the main sport. Regards C
How does it feel when using it as a daily driver? Does it feel heavy? Especially during sleep? And how does it perform when running because it looks bulky. I am choosing bet 6 or 6s, the size of 6s seems fit me but I like sa bigger screen and better battery of 6.
I owed this watch for a year and in love it due to the battery life - top class. Running and daily activities, I barely notice it. However when sleeping, I tend to take it off due to the weight I feel. It's an inconspicuous, black diamond on a watch, that's pack with technology. So the weight is going to be there.
Grate presentation, thank you . Useing a Fitbit sense at the mo . Looking into getting one of these as it's a lot more hardy for wear and tear. And Fitbit sense battery is not good .
When using it for weight lifting workout, how easy is it to enter the number of reps and the weight using the buttons (since it does not have touch screen)? I suppose for a 12 reps you've to press 12 times?
Whats your wrist size. ? N is it too bulky to use whole day ? Thinking to buy 6 solar considering discounts.. didn't like looks of 6s also battery is less.. currently using 255s ..
I found a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar watch on the bike path. I do not know how to use it. Where is personal information stored so I could contact the owner?
Just bought one today from beaverbrooks for £425, too good a deal to leave . had been looking for a 6x pro for a while read loads of reviews and never having owned a smart watch b4 decided to take a punt,great review by the way
Most important feature of 6 pro feature is NA! VI! GA ti on!!!! It has a map that can work offline and you can not even have your phone for it to work.
The 6 pro is currently at £299.99. the 7 is like £650. Thinking the 6 is the way to go at that price

Are you still happy with the watch one year later after purchasing it?
I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WATCH STILL WORTH IT OR I SHOULD JUST BUY THE FORERUNNER 265 FOR 140 MORE DOLLARS@@Viktor-gk5ri
Great review, cheers. Ordered for £369, half price, from John Lewis yesterday. Amazing price.

Yooo, looking forward to watching this. Been waiting since the delivery came ;)
Liking the top down shots
Do u suggest to put screen protector on fenix solar? Does it affect solar charging ? Coz Garmin says don't put any protector on solar watches
colors on your video are excellent easy on the eyes.

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

Do you get to keep the watch after the review? 😊
Great watch
This or the Sapphire version?
I was waiting for the solar bit, but there wasn't any :(
Is this the 6x or 6?
Did you accidentally put Polar instead of Solar?
I did 😳
ask for free stuff to review.....very lame
