Read This, You Will Laugh!!
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Been studying a Fenix 5x pro and when they went on sale for $599 I pulled the trigger on one and wasn’t disappointed right? Keep reading the 6x pro sapphire is coming..... So, I am wearing the 5x pro sapphire for a couple days and since it was my first Garmin watch I had to learn the set up requirements and all.....no big deal and it teaches you a lot about the watch (I’m 64 yrs old) and after I start to put all this in perspective and realize what I have here I could then see the value of the 6x pro sapphire....even at full retail....so I went back to Best Buy to see if I was stuck with the 5x and the gentleman that sold it to me said heck no, we can swap....even tho I had worn it a couple days....so I did trade em and paid the $250 (significant to me) difference. Why? Why? Why.? Pay more?.....waited 2 yrs for it to go on sale then pay full retail.....well....because it’s worth it, worth it big time. Double the memory, more battery, higher res (in sunlight looks like the screen is painted on, just beautiful) bigger screen with more data fields, slightly thinner, better watch band, new cool apps some of which are exclusive to the 6x pro sapphire.....you want more reasons? PM me because I’m ready to get to the review now LOL. It’s probably worth noting here I wasn’t considering any other watch except a Series 5 Apple Watch. (I have a Series 3, my first ever smart watch) but do I really need to go into that decision? Right off the bat, if nothing else....Garmin’s battery life is superior and then some....as the battery ages thru use it will continue to serve me well and that’s with abuse.... Since I’m on it now, the Garmin is superior in almost all ways I can think of that really matter....it’s made to use outdoors (or certainly indoors) and made to use hard. Made to use hard for the reason I bought it and that’s to track my activities. OMG....I pretty much consider my Apple Watch a kids toy compared to this 6x with the huge 1.4 inch screen...Folks are bragging about getting a full 13 hours out of a Apple 5....wow 13 hours now that Apple has released a slew of updates....cause folks were lucky to get 4 hours when they first released em...that’s ridicules here I’m trying to avoid and stay on topic but if you want a sports watch stay away from Apple....they are ok I guess as an extension of your IPhone but I could care less about making phone calls from a watch....never was much of a Dick Tracy fan. Isn’t the idea here to leave the goofy phone at home or do you need to take a phone call while your swimming?....don’t go too deep when you dive in cause if the crappy band the Apple Watch comes with falls off and goes to the bottom of the pool the watch might drown. Garmin won’t, nuff sed. You have to decide what you want to do with a smart watch first. Why you want it...If your looking for a military grade outdoor activity tracker that operates independent of your phone...totally....but still plays nice with your phone for the metrics and settings of the watch along with the standard smart watch msg and phone call stuff....then this is your watch....only a Suunto or Polar can compete but I wanted the Best....not looking for a fancy Fitbit here...Garmin is all by themselves on this. You really do get what you pay for. I know your gonna read some goofy 1 star reviews in here....I always read them first and considered rating one star just to be silly. If you want a watch with activity tracking you can’t beat Garmin....and they aren’t married to Google like Suunto is....Garmins apps stand on their own....and they do it well. Folks seem to ding this watch w/o merit....haters Are the metrics accurate....??.....well, yes....they are pretty good. Are they medically accurate....I don’t really know but they are consistent and that’s what your after in the end, to build a data base to track progress...good as it gets on your wrist and if you want medical Garmin has Bluetooth (and WiFi) built in for their line of ANT+ sensors and they have quite a few. If your training for the olympics, fine. I’m just a old guy trying to rebuild my stamina w/o over doing it....soooo....plenty accurate to build a data base to track your goals and body metrics to improve....in the 3 weeks I’ve had it I am walking twice as far as I used to....Garmin coach does not ask more of me than I can do and will of course suggest goals that are doable...if not Garmin Coach will adjust down if need be....Mine did at first but now I’m working a lil harder. LOL! Don’t over look the build quality and that awesome battery....not measured in hours like others....not even days, we are talking weeks here....it’s a portly Watch in size and Garmin uses that in part for the battery....the awesome battery. I keep on about the battery for a reason I’ll share here. My Apple Series 3 isn’t “awful” but I went back to my Casio because having to charge that silly thing sometimes even during the day if I used it much got old fast...I got to where I wore it to bed but not during the day because of the battery mostly but most of what I used that for....getting msgs and caller ID and such don’t happen at night so what’s the point really? Besides, the Garmin does that too. Battery life is Apples Achilles Heal and it’s even WORSE on the Series 5....Thank you Garmin for saving me from Google and Apple.... I live out in the country (Ozarks) and get out in the woods a lot...Garmin realizes there is a difference between “walking” and “hiking” .... the latter is much harder and thankfully Garmin tracks the metrics accordingly, now with that said.....let’s say your out in the woods and your see a distant land mark your want to navigate to....how about popping up a full color ToPo map with points of interest along the way and a compass to keep you on the shortest path to that point? Just open navigate and look over the top of the watch pointing at your waypoint and click, you’re off! Maps, tracks and breadcrumbs all the way....like a man overboard function on land....”Edit: It actually has a man overboard function LOL....I should have known” Land, Sea or Air (ToPo, Dive or Jumpmaster) This thing has it all! Has the power of a iPhone just a few years back really. There are many many aftermarket accessories too but do your homework on that....I bought 2 wonderful charging stands “$12” and a super TI metal watch band ($55) but be careful....make sure you can return....folks like me get confused on what fits what because there are 3 sizes of the same watch and not all this stuff interchanges. This is where I ding Garmin....$300 for a metal watch band?....com’on Garmin, that’s Bull, get a clue cause it makes you look bad and some folks will be put off enough to look elsewhere...Again, some of the knockoffs are good and very reasonably priced, but do your homework first. Summary....I could go on for hours here but look, if you want an activity tracking device that is also a smart watch and you can fund it, it’s a no brainer to me. It’s the best getting better and I’ll never look back. If you want a Apple Watch, well I suppose there are some reasons to buy one....heck, I’ll give ya mine cause I won’t ever wear it again....I also have a Citizen Eco-Drive Analog Watch (keeping it too) I wear to church and such but I dunno, now that I have a metal band too this Garmin is looking mighty cute...I wear it 24/7 except to charge occasionally in the AM while I get cleaned up. If I could rate it 10 stars I would give it 11....it was a rather elaborate expense for me but I’m good with it.

Can’t Go wrong with this purchase
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Yes it’s quite a bit of money, however you will not be disappointed. There are so many pictures built-in to the multipurpose watch that you will probably never use them all. I have the Garman Fenix 5X prior to purchasing this one. I love the 5X but I really love this 6X sapphire edition. With my aging eyes my own watch used to be a bit blurry but now with the new 6X I can actually see the screen better due to its high resolution

Size and fit
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I’ve wanted a fenix series watch for a long time and finally purchased the 6x on a rare sale from garmin through Best Buy. The only real question I had was if the 6x was too big. My local shop wasn’t an option to try one on so I went with the larger 6x and I am so extremely satisfied with the product. It was uncomfortable at first simply because I went from wearing no watch on a regular basis to the 6x. After a couple days of consistent use I don’t notice it much. The size factor is noticeable on a run for sure but primarily I use it as an everyday device and on my bike. The band could be slightly longer but it is fine.

Great watch, you get what you pay for!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5After thinking about it for a while due to the price tag, I ultimately decided to pull the trigger and make the purchase. After using it for a couple of weeks, I was not disappointed. I absolutely love the watch. I have tried two types of Fitbit, various Samsung watches and now the Garmin. This watch blew all the others away. If you love data and statistics, this watch is for you. So much data to slice and dice. The watch is nice and big. I'll be wearing this watch for a long time, well worth the price.

Amazing Performance instrument
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've always used HR monitor since the last 20 years for all sports and training activities. Few Polar's and since the last6 years GARMIN. My last Garmin was the 920XT that I still have it and works great. I delay trying the Fēnix series until now. I have to said that the amount of information display on the watch, the look, performance and variations of strap to wear is amazing. SUPER happy with the investment and purchase of this watch. A+++++++

Q: QuestionWhat is the text messaging capabilities? Is it like a small keyboard or just quick responses only. Any reviews on charging it? Biggest problem I have is the contacts don't work and constantly cleaning them.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It is simple answers you can scroll through to answer, but you can create your own and add them if you want. I haven't had any issues charging mine yet. When I go to charge it I usually wipe the contacts off on my shirt then plug it in and haven't had ANY issues on my old 5 or my new 6.

Q: QuestionAre these watches water proof or water resistant? Can I swim laps with this?
Asked by Fireice.
- A:Answer I have gone scuba diving with mine on to about 250 feet and have had no issues at all. I shower with it on and everything.
Answered by Freddiefrog
Q: QuestionDoes the H/R functions work w/BOTH the infrared (built in) & chest strap options? I like the ability to track my heart rate (all day/sleep) via infrared while tracking workouts via the MUCH more accurate data from a chest strap. Pls confirm BOTH work.
Asked by Mark.
- A:Answer Wrist based HR constantly and you can add a strap as well. Both work really well.
Answered by Thomas
Q: QuestionCan I get this watch with a black band instead of the chestnut leather band? Or would I have to purchase another band separately?
Asked by Jeremy.
- A:Answer My watch came in with a black band. I ordered a green band from Amazon and the watch looks great.
Answered by Jman

Q: QuestionWhat's the latest model, the X or the S?
Asked by Keem.
- A:Answer 6X is the biggest model, 6S is slightly smaller version but still has the same software. More of a size difference than anything.
Answered by Thomas
Q: QuestionIs this the same model as the fenix 6X - pro with sapphire? What is the difference between 6X and 6X pro?
Asked by Randall.
- A:Answer There are three versions. The S series which is the smallest. The Pro series which is intermediate in size, and the the X series. So every X is also a Pro. You will see the difference if you go to Garmins website and go to the link for the Fenix 6 series. When you select the different sizes the model names change. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/641435/pn/010-02157-10. It can be a little confusing but you just need to decide what size you want and then the features.
