    My favorite watch from garmin. Fenix 6s is the right size. I hear a lot of people saying the basic model is not worth it, and I get it. However if the reason to buy this watch it's mainly for the topo map, you can download garmin nav and it connects to your watch. The lower memory is enough for downloading apps and watch faces. Don't spend more money. This watch is expensive enough. Recomend for small wrist. The band is small.

    I love my Fenix 6s watch

    I love my Fenix 6s watch better than Apple Watch. I don’t really listen to music on my watch even on my Apple Watch and I like the fact that I don’t have to charge it every night like I do with my Apple Watch. I don’t wear the Apple Watch very much anymore. I wear my Fenix 6s every day I even sleep with it. I like the fact that it counts your steps all the time without having to go to an app unless you’re walking or running etc. And you want to track your walking then you have to go to the App that you download on Connect app. It is not that difficult I am still learning as I go. I charge my watch at least every 7th day that’s because I use the gps in between and everything else I get notifications like WhatsApp, news, etc. when I get phone calls it will show on my watch but of course you won’t be able to answer like the Apple Watch but that is fine with me. I have the screen protector on my Fenix and it fits perfect you can’t even tell it has one unlike the Apple Watch the screen protector comes right off it doesn’t last long. Don’t get me wrong I like my Apple Watch, I love watches in general there are better than others I am a watch freak and love gadgets, and yes I do love Apple but wish it was better but I love my Fenix 6s watch better. This is my opinion.

    I am very pleased with the Garmin Fenix 6s. I have been using Garmin Forerunners for years and wanted the additional options available on the Fenix. I have not been disappointed. The battery life is great and the GPS has been accurate. I went with the 6s because I did not want the bulk or weight of the larger Fenix models. The band was a little small but that was fixed by purchasing the larger band on the Garmin website and the fit is perfect.

    Love Fenix 6S. Since it's a flagship watch from Garmin, they put everything under earth in this tiny device. Been waiting for the price to drop more than a year. This is a unisex watch. If you have small wrist this one feels more comfortable. Case size 42MM not 33MM. I owned other Garmin devices and it's designed to last "forever" (long time).

    I live the size, looks, weight, and performance of this watch. Only complaint is the backlight casts a bluish tint, rather than black which would provide clearer contrast and would provide a more pleasing appearance.

    Bought this as a gift for my wife. She absolutely loves it. Battery life is at least a week even with 10-20 miles in gps mode. Even then charging only takes an hour or two. GPS map is extremely accurate. All the other features are really cool too. Learning curve not being a touch screen but she said it’s fairly easy to navigate.

    This is my 2nd Garmin watch and absolutely love it. It is really easy to use. The white band does show marks but you can purchase other color bands from Garmin to go on this watch.

    Has a lot of functionality. GPS component though started to be off by a lot after about 4 months of use. I tried updates, restarting watch, and keeping off for a bit while on a charger - nothing seems to fix it. For price point I expected more

    My all-time favorite Garmin. I upgraded from a ForeRunner and it serves me very well. I run long distance seasonally, but I find the multi-sport and activity tracking on this watch to be user friendly + make it even more worth it. Don't be discouraged by the price tag--this thing is 100% worth it, and you'll use it every day.

    I had the Vivoactive 3 Music and was ready for a watch with more robust options. The Fenix 6s is top notch. My only regret is that I didn't get it sooner. It has every option for fitness and recreational activities and provides all the insights I need.
