Even better than expected
on July 15, 2022
Posted by: Sonja P
It was easy to get set up and the companion app is better than expected. GPS is spot on accurate; mapping is small on the face, but also very accurate. I LOVE not having to use my phone to track my hikes, no more worrying that my phone will die before we finish the day. With the battery life of this watch I could do a whole weekend trip and not have an issue! Day trips are no problem at all.
Not thrilled with the face options in the Connect IQ app, but still experimenting. The onboard changeability of the face is pretty amazing even without the downloadable faces.
I do, surprisingly, like the notification function though I thought at first I might not like it. The small vibration is not distracting, but obvious enough that I do keep up better than I did without it.
Still exploring the health features, wishing it had HRV functionality. Also the pulse Ox is VERY picky, it "fails to get a reading" at least 2 out of three times - that is very annoying.
Worth every penny for sure!

Fits the bill for fitness/training tracking

EDIT: Apparently something has changed with the accompanying phone app and it is now near impossible for me to sync my calendar to show upcoming planned workouts.
This watch is fantastic for tracking training. There are a variety of workout types to log, including hiking which is my primary use case as I am working with the uphill athlete program and like to see my progress over time.
When using the workouts, the screens can be customized to show various data points which is super helpful as different things are important during different activities.
Setting your custom heart rate zones could be a bit more intuitive, but nothing google couldn't help me with.
Overall: if you are doing any kind of serious training and want to track your progress, this watch does a pretty darn good job and battery life has been great.

I absolutely love it. Love all the data it gives me throughout my day. Love comparing my results with my boyfriend who also owns a Fenix watch.

I upgraded from the 935 Forerunner after I saw my husband Fenix 6. The touchscreen is a huge bonus compared to the Fenix 6, good battery time, and soooo much data.

Feature packed powerhouse

3 weeks into the use of this watch, I am loving it more and more as I use it in different activities. The display is just the right type (touch, buttons, brightness) for my most day to day use. A must have for any one looking for running and multi-sport watch.
