Garmin - fēnix 6 Pro Smartwatch 47mm Fiber-Reinforced Polymer - Black with Black Silicone Band

The Garmin Fenix 6 Pro is an outstanding multi sport watch. It’s build quality is unmatched, and capabilities as far as sport and activity tracking/coaching/etc is beyond what anyone might ever use. If you want the best smart watch/GPS sports watch - this is it. Beware though - if you’re going to get this to compare or beat a watch you already love (like the Apple Watch or a Samsung) you won’t be happy with it. This is NOT a competitor to the Apple Watch or Samsung (any mainstream watch for that matter). This is for people who aim to increase their physical performance who love outdoor activities. This is not a super capable smart watch. I’ve had every Apple Watch and a few Samsung - for me, this is by far the best for my use case. It’s simply outstanding and beautifully made. Just make sure this is the type of watch you’re looking for if you’re willing to take the plunge and dump this much money on a piece of jewelry.

I decided to switch over to a Garmin as my every day watch from an OG Huawei Android Wear watch. I had originally worn one watch throughout the day and then used a Garmin running watch for my running/cycling workouts. I eventually added a Garmin activity tracker to get a better 24hr view of calories burned and activity. With the continued limbo that Android Wear seems to be in, it made sense to go to one watch that could do it all. I am a triathlete so the fitness tracking capabilities of the Fenix series was a big reason for my purchase. I also love the fact that I can go 5 days or so without having to charge the watch vs. every night with my old Android Wear. Some of the tracking metrics (like body battery) the Fenix offers may seem like gimmicks at first but I have found they actually are pretty close to reality. It may tell me I am not at 100% for a workout and sure enough, when I go out to start running I end up feeling a little flat. The support for different activities is great and I am yet to do something that the watch does not have a tracking mode for. Having everything tracked all in one place is great for tracking overall improvements over time and has helped me decide when to execute big training days. The watch looks great and there are plenty of watch faces to choose from and customize to your taste. As far as sapphire vs. gorilla glass - watch some youtube videos and do a little research on it. I feel like I would put a screen protector on either one so why not save a little? I have been wearing mine 24/7 since I bought it and have no scratches or wear that I have noticed. Overall, very happy I switched over to a Garmin watch.

This a great sports watch that has smarts. Besides doing almost any thing related to outdoor activities, it also will give you alerts for texts, emails, and phone calls. It has widgets that let you check the weather and your rate without having to dig though menus.

Nice upgrade from my previous Fenix. Accurate. Great breakdown here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/08/garmin-fenix6-pro-solar-series-review.html

What can I say it’s a Garmin and they just keep getting better and better. It seems to do everything I need it to and more.

This watch does everything I was looking for in my activity functions.
