Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the watch and Gamin would own the market if this watch could respond to text and take voice calls. I had an apple watch that could do all that but the battery life was too short for fitness and the outdoors life. I love my Fenix 6 pro solar, it's battery length of 14 days (using all the features) and even up to 40 some days with limited features. ***********CAUTION*********** I have to caution you about the "stainless steel - black" model because the band and the watch bottom-half are gray, not black. Get the model that says "Slate Gray with Black Band". It's confusing but that is the darkest watch with the black body and black band.

I first had the fénix 5 and then I upgraded to the 6 solar. Battery life it’s average 6-7 days if you do t use GPS very often on sports that will decrease the duration of the battery. Very accurate and will recommend. If you play golf all golf courses can be downloaded for free on the watch and no monthly payment needed.

Greatest fitness watch on the market. Navigation is great because I don't need my phone powered on while out on the trail. The 14-day battery on normal use?! That's awesome and one of the main reasons I bought the watch. Can't wait to load some nautical charts for kayaking.

Great watch. Display could be brighter and more crisp. Battery life is amazing. Charging maybe 1-2 times a week. GPS takes a min to connect. Pretty rugged and scratch resistant. Tons of 3rd party apps that work well, though some will drain your battery pretty fast. Tons of data. Notifications are great.

May not be worth the upgrade if you already have the original fenix 6 pro but if you are outdoors most of the time and in the sun often then it will be good. Quick test, charges faster in sun/fluresent when you mess with power save like disconnect phone, put on lowpower display and turn off heart-rate then the watch itself will use very little battery and the sun can charge it faster, my light was about 2% in 3 hrs with things off to charge faster. So all n all not bad and solar adds a nice touch if you are outside often :) 3hrs a day gives a 1-3 days depending on settings 6hrs a day 2x that and as long as you are in direct sun and if you turn all off and you can technically have unlim battery smartwatch mode: <-5% daily of 100% ... +sun about 1-3%

This was my 2nd garmin device but first wearable garmine device. I will start by saying that I have had the Samsung smart watches along with Apple's. I sold my apple watch for this garmin and I wear it every day. It feels like I can do more and not have to worry about bumping into anything and scratching a shiny surface. this watch is dense and feature rich. I use it to track my daily activity, sleep patterns, health and time. I like that this watch also keeps you connectedt to your phone when you do not have your phone in hand, you are able to still get notifications like text messages and you can read the message, call alerts and you can answer (no audio unless you have bluetooth headphones) or hang up and certain app notifications when enabled; however, what I find my self enjoying more is that im still away form my phone. What I mean by this is that I still get notification and call alerts but I cannot reply from my watch, thus keeping me in the moment I am in. This watch helps me stay more engaged and focused in what I am doing. also like that this connects and syncs with my garmin 1030 plus cycling computer. great combo to have! On average this battery lasts me 7 days depending on activity tracking if not longer, its really something else. My apple watch had to be charged every night and my samsung every other day or so with same activity tracking.

Just love it. Built like a tank. Batter life is amazing. Swiss Army knife of a watch. Does it all!

Alright. It's been just over a year since I originally purchased this watch. Overall, the functionality of the watch is some of the best I've seen. I previously used an Apple Watch and I cannot say that I miss it. This Garmin watch has been a great tool for hiking, cycling, and simple, everyday life! The activity tracking is accurate, even in the North Carolina mountains where good GPS reception can be hard to come by. I've worn the watch while paddle boarding in salt water and after a quick rinse, it's good to go. Above all else, the 14 day battery life (with activity tracking) is incredible. I rarely take it off between charges! I do find that some syncing between Garmin Explore and the watch can sometimes be cumbersome, but once I got the hang of how to import routes and waypoints, the process became fairly smooth. Pro: Incredible battery life Accurate activity tracking Extreme durability Comfortable Bright screen Excellent routing for hikes/cycling/ect Con: Expensive Few affordable accessory bands Lack of Sapphire Glass on Solar model Can cause skin irritation if the band doesn't get cleaned on a regular basis Overall, I'll be buying another Garmin watch when this one kicks the bucket, but I don't anticipate that being any time soon.

This is the best fitness tracker you can buy. It is super durable and the battery life is about a week with heavy use. The solar option really slows the battery drain when you are out exercising on a sunny day. It is comfortable to wear and pairs easily to your phone. You are able to receive any notification you get on your phone as well.

Purchased Garmin Fenix 6 for my boyfriend as a Christmas Gift and so far he loves it! He finds it so much cooler and functional than any other smart watch out there, as it has so many useful functions, syncs up with a ton of apps, and has a really long battery life as it is also solar charged. It’s actually a handsome looking watch as well.

Watch has been fantastic. Have been using for close to a year after upgrading from a forerunner watch. Battery life has been better than expected. Durability has been stellar all while looking amazing. One complaint is with the heart beat monitor being inconsistent. I know that is to be expected with a wrist heart beat monitor. Some days it will be almost spot on during workouts and and others it believes im running the 40 yard dash at the NFL combine while im just walking. This is after I have tried different wrist positions/tightness of band and cleaning of the sensor. I do have a chest strap that I rely much more on. Overall I do love this watch.

So far I am 3 days into using this watch and it seems to be working well and all the features seem to be functioning correctly. This watch was acquired to be used for running and mainly the most important feature to me was being able to download my own music to the watch and not required to carry around a cellular device while I'm running. The set of process was easy. I'm not sure if there's a way to set it up without a mobile device though. The apps associated with the watch work well. I was able to download a 3 and 1/2 hour running music playlist to the watch in about 30 seconds. My j l a b epic air sport ANC true wireless headphones paired easily with the watch. The only thing that wasn't intuitive to me was adding the activities to my watch. After you add the first activity in the tutorial I did not realize that you could not see all the available activities until you click the add selection. I understand this feature is so that you only see the activities you want. It was just not intuitive to find and add them. When fully charged the battery life read 14 days. It seems to be pretty consistent as each day it has been counting down by one day. I have not been outside much and I do not have fluorescent lights in my house so the solar charging has not been evaluated to see if it extends the life of the battery. I have not experimented with it, yet but it has been awesome seeing All the different watch face options that you can use as well as being able to create your own watch face. Some of my associates watch faces are pretty cool. Another thing I really didn't know about but it's cool is that you can get turn-by-turn directions.

I have EVERY Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch model that was ever made. The Garmin Fenix is, by far, the best of the lot. Garmin focuses on being completely platform-independent so the user experience does not degrade or sacrifice if you move between iOS and Android. The watch itself has the best battery life and usability for any smartwatch I've used. This is actually my SECOND Fenix Pro 6. I purchased it solely to add solar charging. Worth every penny.

I wanted a Smartwatch with all the bells and functions. When all my other smartwatches had those battery life was not one of those. I got the Garmin Fenix 6 pro solar and the battery life is greatI go weeks without a recharge and all the functions I will ever need. This watch is built rough and comfortable to wear everyday. I love the Garmin 6 pro solar.

The watch is amazing, I have only good things to say about this watch. solar power, long battery life, GPS & during a walk or a workout the information you have access to is great. Got it on sale. I believe it is well worth the cost. It was easy to pair to my phone. downloading the maps was easy. there are other faces you can get also.

Have owned many Garmin products. This is the most complete Fitness/ Smartwatch I have owned. Monitors an assortment of fitness metrics with accuracy. Th solar function doesn't add much value. The battery life is awesome. The price can be a deterrent if purchased at full price. Can't go wrong with this watch

I got this for my husband and he loves it. It's been over 1 year and still works very well. He runs a lot and it fits the purpose for his needs. Battery lasts very well - he said it lasts 14 days without using GPS and probably longer due to the solar function.

Very happy with this purchase! This watch has been great for tracking my runs, mountain hikes and hunting trips. The music storage has been real nice and easy to use, having no longer to hold my phone while running. Long battery life, accurate GPS and comfortable to wear.

I was on the fence for months about upgrading to this from my Garmin Forerunner 235 and finally decided to do it. My main reason was to get a watch that was less plasticy and looked more professional for everyday use but did everything that my old watch did. I finally saw the 6 pro solar on sale and bought it and so far am very happy. The watch feels and looks much higher quality than the 235, has a longer battery (with the solar capability to slightly extend life), is faster, and has a bigger screen, despite being roughly the same size as my old Garmin. I frequently looked at Samsung watches because i like the way they look but couldnt stand recharging every day or two. Although this screen doesnt pop lke the AMOLED, it still looks sharp and totally worth 10x the battery life.

Love it. I typically can't stand wearing jewelry on my wrists, neck, or anywhere. But, I haven't taken this watch off since I bought it. I love its functionality anf it's battery life. Little expensive but worth every penny!
