Fantastic watch
on January 20, 2022
Posted by: jtucker23
I really love my watch. I've never had a watch of this quality with this many sports features. I consider myself an endurance athlete and just love everything this watch provides. I am very grateful to have been able to get it.

I previously had the 735XT which I loved but being 6 years, I wanted an upgrade and got this for Christmas. I really love it so far and like the additional feedback.

Love this watch!!!

I love this watch. The battery life is four - five days, unlike most other watches. It has the features that most basic people look for in a smart watch like steps, time, bp, calories. I just love it. Band is soft and comfortable for the long wear. This watch is worth the money. Love it!

This Fenix 6S is perfect for me, I love being able to see heart rate without chest strip, still have lots to learn about it, but so far so good.

So far so good :)

I previously had a forerunner and was able to make it work for me really well. Unfortunately it died. After a year or so I finally got the fenix 6s, and thus far its been great. I'm still working on customizing it to my liking, but it's easy to work with. I think the garmin connect updates have all been steps in a positive direction. And the additional features of the watch are pretty fun for a data nerd like myself. Especially paired with the new hrm-pro, I'm quite interested to test out the new power measurements in xc skiing, overnight pulseox seems to work alright, and being able to do HRV through garmin and not a 3rd party like I used to have to is quite nice. It pairs well with my sleep app and makes it easy to track and log my daily 'health' in a variety of ways. I'd like to see a few more garmin connect updates, particularly related to generating a functional training log for athletes/coaches to analyze. But not many workout apps I've tried do a good job on that front. In any case, I'm impressed. Battery life has been excellent. The wrist HR monitor is about like any other watch, not really reliable, particularly for exercise. But I don't knock the product for that. If you want that data it's pretty much an absolute necessity to have a chest strap of some kind. The price is a bit steep, but hopefully it will continue to last and make it worth the purchase.

Short battery duration
on February 3, 2022
Posted by: jrojas13
It's an excellent product, but I don't know what it happend with this specific, becuase the battery duration its too short, I asked on the support but they told me that I have to wait for the new update, that would solve the issue

Would love to see some more features

I love the concept of this watch. I also like the idea that I can use the GPS when I’m outside of cell service.
There are a couple things that would just make this a stellar product.
Would it be possible for you to make a app with onxhunt. Something that could simply port over your Onxhunt points into the Explore app so that I can use my native GPS in the watch for my hunts.
The other thing that would be great, is if you could add features for diabetics that could help manage and give insights into diabetic health and A1C based on data from CGM or glooko import. There is also a correlation between stress and heightened blood sugar.

Solid!

I bought this watch 1 month ago.
I like the the variety of data it provides i.e. sleep infos, effort put into a run and not just the pace, Spotify,
I haven't figured out how to hear the Metronome beat via earbuds to help maintain my cadence. I haven't figured out how to upload PacePro.
It's been difficult to understand how to calibrate pace to match treadmill.
Unlike my VivoActive 3, I have been unable to set it up so that my watch auto-starts as soon as I start jogging
