Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this watch! Was an apple watch user, however, found it clunky to operate and access apps I need or wanted at a moments notice. Battery life is insane, almost a week, and watch looks and works beautifully. Best by far for working out and Golf.

I upgraded from a Fenix 3 to the Fenix 6 Sapphire. I love this watch! The VO2 max estimate and associated race predictions are much more accurate than before. I like the training load / focus feedback which encourages me to be more disciplined with my running pace on recovery days. Onboard music is nice for the rare days when I want it. My main criticism is with the optical hear rate monitor. It is completely useless for running. I've tried various levels of snugness and location on my wrist. It always reads ~25 bpm higher than actual. I have a chest strap but I was hoping to have the option to leave it behind sometimes. If you aren't going to put a screen protector on your watch then I recommend the Sapphire. It does make the display a little harder to read though compared to the standard glass due to being more reflective and allowing less light through. One more thing. I initially bought a Fenix 6 pro and it had the washed out screen when the backlight was used. I returned it to get the Sapphire. The below picture shows the difference (pro on left Sapphire on right).

The watch is great. It is amazing. I like it that it is tough and the battery life is amazing and it has all my activities that I love to do.

Great watch. Decided to upgrade to Fenix 6 Sapphire after owning the Fenix 3 Sapphire for 5 years without any issues.

Completely satisfied with this purchase, happy with this watch!

I love Garmin Fenix Sapphire series. Indestructible. Great sports tracking. Doesn't die on long swims like Samsung. Great golf tracking. Weeks of battery instead of days like Apple/Samsung.

If you're a Garmin product user you'll love this watch! It's probably overkill for most people, even if you're an active person, it's overkill for me, but I love the watch anyway! It does everything my VivoActive 3 did/does (my VivoActive 3 watch is 3 years old and still works perfectly, including charging and lasting for 2 or 3 days) and then a whole bunch more! I'm a data guy and I love Garmin Connect, how it tracks, presents and keeps data over time. This watch will track a ton of data that you decide what to collect and upload it to Garmin Connect. I had bought the Apple Watch Series 7 and returned because the battery wouldn't last much beyond 11 hours for me. I wear this watch 24/7 for 5 days (with all standard the sensors ON, i.e. oxygen, sleep, heart rate, breathing etc, not GPS, no need for that sleeping and or most of the time) on a single charge, easily get probably 5 more if I turned some tracking off. The screen is NOT bright in an indoor setting like the Apple watch, but coming from the VivoActive 3 (and a Garmin bike computer) I couldn't give up the data tracking, and with a custom watch face I see everything in a glance. It pairs with my iPhone Pro 13, and gives me messages, emails and other notifications. It does NOT have a touch screen but consider that a benefit. I like the way the watch intuitively works with its 5 buttons. There are many professional reviews on youtube, if you're thinking about switching from an Apple watch and love that, I would not recommend switching to this watch, and vice versa. If you're a Garmin user buy this watch. It's pricey, but awesome.

Is an excellent smart watch but no blood plessure and not touch screen and the charhe cable is not magnetic and longer for the price we expect more, 6 days battery with a lot alerts

This watch is one of the best smart watches I have owned. And it completely destroys the Apple watch in my opinion. With spending double the money, that is what I figured you should expect. This watch is amazing. It has so many features that I could spend the next day listing them all out. I will boil it down to a few things that made the biggest difference to me. First! I have a tattoo that covers my entire forearm. With the Apple watch, since it is black ink, would have nothing to reflect off to notice I was even wearing the watch. It would stop activities 2 minutes in and I could never get it to stay on. This was not a user issue. I looked into it. Garmin's watch has no problem reading every single vital I have. This was the biggest thing for me. A watch that works! Second. The activities in Garmin give you so much more information than the Apple watch. I like being told how long it will take me to recover after a work out. I also like being able to look at every last stat after a workout. What the temperature was, elevation gain, elevation lost, average pace. Yes, Apple does all that, but I have noticed that Garmin is way more accurate than the Apple watch. Lastly, Garmin is infinitely more durable than the Apple Watch. I would worry when my dogs bumped my watch into the wall when I was petting them. I have put this watch through the ringer and it still looks as new as the day I got it. I know that this is a very expensive watch. If you are deciding between this and the Apple Watch, and money is not a factor, I would select this. I loved my Apple watch when I had it, I just believe this is better.

Full disclosure. This is the first full smart watch I've owned. Navigating takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, is smooth and simple. It is important to note there is no touch screen on this model which may be a drawback to some, but I chose this feature (or lack thereof) specifically. Mapping seems to be more than adequate to keep me from being lost on new trails. Exercise (walking/running) seems to track well compared to full GPS unit. This model comes with changeable band. Wasn't sure how much I was going to use it, but swapping them out is super simple and I find I do it more regularly than I originally thought. Customization of watch faces means you can find exactly what you're looking for to display whatever information you want. Only grips is the clasp on the metal band which is showing some rub wear from what I assume is typing with the wrist on the hard desktop. It is a bit expensive and took me a full year to commit, but I'm glad I did. All in all a great purchase! Would highly recommend to anyone.

I was stuck between this Garmin watch or the new Samsung watch for Hubby. Went with this one and I’m so glad I did. He said it waaaay tougher than his Samsung. He loves it and says it’s so much better. I feel confident that he won’t break this one lol also the battery life is insanely long

Love this watch. Battery life 14 days on normal mode. Turn on pulse ox all day, you get 6 days battery life. Ton of stats, GPS very good, it is not touch screen which not a big deal to me. Had to use online manual to understand all the buttons and features, Mostly to customize some features. Other then that love it. Very good fitness tracker.

Excellent .... Love it ! .... It one of the watch I always wear it !!

This watch has stood up to the test of me beating it off of every doorway in my house, not to mention table saws and car doors! Not a mark on the thing! It has also been extremely accurate both on a treadmill and on the road. Great stylish watch with easy to swap band process. Highly recommended!!

I have gone through smart watches like water. I have owned many Garmin’ sand loved them. This one is the top of the line. Performance, Durability and Looks. Very happy I do not regret buying this watch.

Great watch and perfect for all types of activities! Sapphire screen come in handy for a daily driver and the battery life is the best!

Phenomenal piece of tech. this is my 5th Smartwatch, and by far, not even close, my favorite. The battery life is fantastic at 14 days. that gets you all your standard metrics during the day as well as HR and SpOx throughout the night. Including "body battery" and respiration tracking 24/7. The build quality is great, and if you select the sapphire and titanium it is both nearly bullet proof as well as very light. The bands are stupid easy to swap so you can wear the orange during the weekend (which I really like) and then change to a more subdued color during the workweek if the need requires(which it does in m case). I actually prefer that the screen is not touch and the button navigation through the menus is quite fast to pickup. Love this watch.

If you want it in a fitness watch, this has it. Downloadable music so you don’t have to run with your phone. Pulse Ox. Heat rate. Tell it you want to run x miles, it will plot a route for you and give you turn by turn instructions. Map on the screen. Golf holes. Just a spectacular piece of equipment. It’s pricey, which made me hesitate. But I was replacing an HR3 so I had an idea of the quality I was getting. I made the right decision.

Best smart watch period. This does it all. Best looking. Most accurate. Nearly indestructible. Just a must have for anyone who loves the outdoors or plays sports.

Very impressive even after having had a crash while loading some music. Loaded with features, it will take some learning to know them all. Smart looking.
