The Garmin Fenix 6 is one of, if not the best multi-sport smartwatch money can buy, bringing performance and adventure tracking as well as GPS-based mapping to just about every outdoor activity you can think of. However, there's a downside.

Cannot be beaten for outdoor tracking; Solid and robust design; Accurate activity tracking

Not many new features over Fenix 5 Plus; Very expensive; Not the most stylish of watches

Casual users need not apply While Fitbit is the household brand that many people associate with fitness trackers, there's one company that many serious athletes and fitness buffs rely on: Garmin.

The Fenix 6 is the latest hardcore fitness tracker from Garmin. It aims to offer serious athletes a robust tracker that'll survive everything from mountain climbing to ultramarathons.

Excellent location and fitness tracking; Unbreakable design; Two week battery life; Heart rate monitor works underwater

Smartwatch functionality still limited

We’ve always loved the Fenix range – and the Fenix 6 offers so much data. But the Fenix 6S might just be our favourite watch of the lot. It offers all the great breadth of data, features and sports tracking into a more wearable package.

Smaller; more wearable size; No loss of features; Incredible data/sports selection

The Fenix 6 has to be one of the best smartwatches on the market today. Sure, it doesn’t look as sleek as the Apple Watch, but that’s not the idea here. Anyone who is truly into their fitness will more than appreciate the endless features that Fenix 6 has to offer and how it’s able to handle everything you throw at it - now with better power options and user interface that make it much easier to use. It is, without a doubt, the best fitness smartwatch money can buy. It’s just a great shame you need a lot of it to get one. But should you buy one? Well, if you already own a Fenix 5 or later, it’s probably not worth the upgrade. Nevertheless, those who don’t already have a dedicated smartwatch and are getting more serious about fitness and looking to upgrade their smartwatch game can’t go wrong with Garmin’s latest release.

i bought 2 weeks ago and got a great deal from JB. This watch syncs perfectly with my strava, is waterproof for swimming, does heart rate very reliably, has lots of options for faces, acts as a very good smart watch allowing me to control phone's music (no standalone music though on this cheapest model), see and reply to phone notifications and messages with pre-selected responses (even watsapp), allows maps for navigation and goes many days without charging. during activities it can go 20+ hours or much more depending on GPS frequency settings, which is enough for ultramarathons. sleep tracking seems stupid- apparently i rarely get any "deep" sleep but that might be my baby contributing... This watch will keep me going for years. I do wish it had a touch screen but the buttons are welcome when i have gloves on whilst riding.

I am a sport enthusiastic person. This watch contains a lot of features that support workouts, sports activities, and hiking. However, this watch has a very poor screen display and too much detailed to be managed. So, the bottom line is, if you are an athlete or a sports freak person (super into sports) or a hiker, this is the watch you need. And if you are into sports but not a professional, I suggest looking into different sports or smartwatch considering the high price of the watch in which you can find a better option for an everyday watch.

I tend not to buy technology until it doesnt work anymore. I have had a forerunner 305 for ten years and just love that watch. I thought nothing could take its place. And then I got the Fenix 6S. I love how lightweight the watch is, its stylish and not clunky. One of the things I Iove most is i can set up which features I want to track during my workouts.anf the HR monitor being part of the watch when i wear it is a new feature i never thought i would see without wearing a strap on my chest. Lastly, i LOVE that it pairs with an app on my phone so i can instantaneously see all my stats. For someone who hates change this watch won over my heart.

I bought this watch about 2 weeks ago, I previously had the forerunner 235 for about 3 years. This watch has awesome features that my previous watch did not have. However, I have had the watch for 2 weeks and the rose gold tint that is around the lens already has many scratches and dents in it. The lens is suppose to be scratch proof I believe so when I bought the watch I assumed the whole watch face would also be very durable, I was unfortunately wrong. I haven’t done anything with the watch on that I would have thought would have caused these marks, just every day wear. My forerunner seemed much more durable than this watch.
