Love this watch... mostly!

I have had this watch a couple of weeks and i love a lot about it. It has a great UI, features work seamlessly and are easy to understand and deploy. I have not figured out the map apps yet but havent tried hard.
I have one complaint and that is the fit of the new band that came with the Fenix. I found it very hard to find a setting that was not too tight or too loose, my wrist seemed to be just in between. I went with too tight so the watch could get a good heart rate reading but with the design of this watch band i had to remove the watch every few hours to give my skin a break. The band was too rigid and too stiff to get comfortable. I went with an old band from my Fenix 5 and it was much better.

Hi, just bought and installed my Fenix E; very pleased and in love with it. Great big (big enough with 47 mm) amoled screen and a huge amount of settings. In the beginning, quite difficult to get to use it and the biggest problem I have is the installation of maps; the Garmin Express (with Mac) is temperamental... the apps "Connect", "ConnectIQ", "Messenger" and "Explore" works very well. I highly recommend this watch contrary to the critics.

Great watch but it's quite bulky.

I bought my new Fenix E on the Black Friday sale so I was pleased with the price. Be advised, it's a very heavy and bulky watch. One of the main reasons I bought this particular model was due to the case back being stainless steel. The other models I have have the composite case back and my skin where the watch rests have been persistently irritated. To the point my skin on both wrists is actually breaking out. I thought the stainless steel would help this issue, but it hasn't. I guess I'll be upgrading to the titanium.

I have owned several Garmin watches. I upgraded to the Fenix E for the extra features and health tracking upgrades. Very nice watch and the sale price put it in my budget.

Not so good

I bought the fenix-47 mm watch and had it for a month with a rating of a “F”, The reason for the “f” rating is the feature do not work half the time. The sleep monitoring plus ox not monitoring. For the cost of the watch and service it provides. Not very good.
