Product Information

This is some of our favorite data, and a huge reason to invest in the Fenix 6. As runners, we’re addicted to the Training Effect and Training Status data, which is a great way to evaluate sessions. Whilst the Fenix 6S is a true multisport watch (it records everything from open water swimming, triathlon and weights , to skiing and golf) there are a number of functions that make it a particularly perfect watch for runners. It includes the Advanced Running Dynamics feature which provides you with a plethora of running data alongside the usual pace, distance, elevation and mile/km splits.

However, it’s extremely power efficient and always-on and this sacrifice in aesthetics enables some of the Fenix’s best features. The Fenix 6S is ideal for smaller wrists, without missing out on any of the adventure. The 1.2" sunlight-readable display on a scratch-resistant sapphire lens is perfect for reading the preloaded TOPO maps, as well as ski maps for over 2,000 worldwide ski resorts. The Fenix 6S Pro also has a new row-based widget interface, which is markedly different from the full-screen widgets in previous Fenix models. Instead of scrolling through several distinct screens, the widgets are arranged in rows that allow you to see the previous and next rows as you scroll. Each row provides a summary of the data, and you can select the row to view additional details. Because the Fenix is an outdoors-focused watch, the widgets include weather, sunset/sunrise times, a digital compass, as well as traditional fitness metrics.In this guide, I’ll cover the pros and cons of the Garmin Fenix 6S, take you with me as I test it in different sports, and show you how to convert the Garmin Fenix 6S into a surf watch.

The PacePro feature is a major highlight, guiding your run through target pacing and prompts. You can also pre-load a route and navigate on your wrist, or search for new routes based on popular running trails in your area. Across the board, these battery improvements are plentiful when compared to the Fenix 5 Plus. And - as mentioned earlier - these have largely been achieved via tweaks in the Fenix’s software which make management much more intuitive and allow users to better understand what kind of power they have remaining. This has been changed in a number of ways.Garmin also added battery modes that allow you to switch power settings on the fly when you need more battery life. More than once, I let my battery drain during testing and was able to eke out a 10K run with less than 5 percent battery remaining thanks to these reduced power modes. Price and availability The buttons also sit nearly flush with the casing, and I didn’t have issues with them digging into my wrist. It’s a nice change from previous Fenix models, where the oversized buttons were quite literally painful. Despite having smaller buttons, they are still easy to locate them without needing to look at the watch. Pacing Like a Pro
