To start, this is a beautiful watch. I bought it for my boyfriend for his birthday because he’s getting into fitness, and this watch has helped him track his progress and stay on path. I bought the 6X Sapphire edition in the hopes of avoiding scratches and also in the hopes of rivaling G-Shock, his original favorite. Sapphire specifically was important to me in a watch face, because sapphire, after all, is a 9 out of 10 on Mohs hardness scale. The only thing harder than a 9 is diamond, which is a 10. This reduces the chance of scratches significantly.
I will include this warning in the beginning: when first unboxing it and turning it on, nothing seemed amiss – at first. It was beautiful, worked great, connected effortlessly to his phone, etc. But when he tried downloading new watch faces, a problem emerged. After many Internet searches, we learned that the software on the watch was out of date (which, looking back, probably should have been expected – these may have been sitting in a warehouse for God knows how long and it’s possible that Garmin had released some updates since that time). We were able to get the watch updated by connecting it to the power cord and plugging the cord into the computer and downloading a software update. After that, zero issues – the watch faces downloaded, widgets were added, and all was right in Whoville. 8/10
Aesthetically, this thing is stunning but very large; it’s definitely (in my opinion) meant for someone with a larger wrist. It fits him very well. 10/10
In the 2.5 months he’s had it, it’s never scratched. We even took a nail to it – and there was not one mark! Yeah, science! It’s also very durable; he’s dropped it, banged it on the counter countless times, submerged it in 8ft pools, and there was not one issue. 10/10
As far as tracking goes, the watch has some drawbacks. It seems to track steps decently, and it seems to track heartrate and stress levels okay, but it’s not perfect. The sleep tracking isn’t always spot-on; it often calculates him going to sleep 30 minutes before he actually goes to sleep because (we theorize) his heartrate drops as his body relaxes for bed. It does calculate his information when exercising, but it’s not perfect. It does calculate his resting heartrate, but it’s not perfect. Above all, keep in mind that this is not a medical device and will, thus, not be as accurate as one. My best advice would be to make sure it’s tight but not restricting blood flow; you shouldn’t be able to slide it every which way on your arm. We think it uses a laser to track the blood pressure (or heartrate or whatever else) in the veins underneath. We even tested this theory: if he moves the watch up an inch on his arm (to where it’s covering his tattoos), the difference in tracking and reporting heartrate was very noticeable. 7/10
The other features that this watch has are great. The connection to iPhone was seamless and the text/notification updates are helpful. Like others have mentioned, you don’t have the ability to text from this watch – but I think that’s a good thing, because if you were able to, you’d be giving up the water-resistant features and the shock-absorbing features that this thing has. The weather app, the elevation/altimeter, the maps, and all that other good stuff works great. If you get lost in the woods and for some reason can’t find your phone, you can use your handy-dandy watch to pull up a map and zoom out to see just where you are. It’ll give you directions, just like maps on your phone. The app store for this thing has a whole new world of little apps and widgets (Spotify, beer tracking?!) that you can play around with. 9/10
I think this was a great purchase. The battery life is fantastic. Five days without a charge and it still goes strong – and when you do charge it, it only takes 30 minutes to an hour to get back up to halfway/fully charged. My main concern before buying was water damage and shock damage, but both have passed rigorous tests and this watch has proven to be very strong and durable. Also, it comes with an automatic one year limited warranty. Don't buy the warranty through Amazon. I checked with a customer service rep from Garmin's website and he confirmed that all Garmin watches come with the warranty. Overall: 9.9/10
**** ONE YEAR UPDATE ****
This is the single best purchase I have ever made. The watch is still going as strong as day 1. The watch band did end up breaking with normal wear and tear, but I had originally purchased a backup band for $10 when I bought the watch (which I recommend to anyone no matter what kind of watch you're buying), so that didn't ruin my day. Overall, this watch has seen a lot. Vacations, pools, accidents, workouts, and a lot of life. Friends, there is still not one scratch on it. Nothing can break it. Everything is still perfect. I am tempted to run over it with my car to see if that would even do anything (although I won't). My boyfriend wears it 24/7 except to charge it and it's become an integral part of his daily life. He sends me his workout report from his phone from Garmin Connect, and it tells you many details such as average and max heartrate, distance traveled, calories burned, and more. It has given us help when lost in the woods. It has given us the altitude as we drove through the mountains. It has monitored a 65lb weight loss journey. It has withstood the heat of fire (temporarily a hand may have been engulfed in flames; he's okay). I should be Garmin's spokesperson, honestly. Buy this damn watch. Do not do any more research. Your journey for the perfect watch ends here. This is the one!
I owned a Forerunner 235 for 3 years prior to buying the Fenix 6. The Forerunner is a great watch, but the Fenix 6 takes it up to whole other level. It's a fairly big watch and I have small wrists (see picture), but I don't mind the size. I wear it all day and all night. Pro tip: loosen the strap at night. The HR data seems to be accurate enough at night even when its loose.
The buttons are high quality and easy to use while running. I find it very easy to get data from the watch and use it while running. There are a LOT of features and menus and it could probably take a full day just to figure out where everything is. For example, you just started running but you want to turn the auto-lap feature off... well, be prepared for some fiddling at first. Luckily I had a sense of where this was from using my Forerunner but stuff like that can be difficult to figure out
Here are the top 5 features I like:
* Altimeter: When I do hills runs, it's nice to know in real time how much elevation gain I've covered
* Training Status: This gives me some feedback about my training. Take it with a grain of salt but it's nice to have a second opinion about how I'm training. See my comments below about heart rate tracking
* Compass & Maps: I use the Garmin Connect app to plan long runs then load them onto the watch. I added a compass to the main activity screen so it'll tell me which direction I'm heading and which direction my course is. If I get off course I can quickly figure out which direction is the right direction. I have not used the visual maps feature because honestly it seems hard to read.
* Highly customizable screens. Much more than the Forerunner 235. In fact it can be a bit overwhelming!
* Battery life: it's very good, and very customizable to squeeze out more battery life.
The pulse oximeter is ... cool I guess, but kinda useless. I honestly don't know who would get value out of this sensor. It always just reads 95-99% for me and I have no idea what to do with this data anyway. Maybe if I contracted COVID-19 this could be useful, but day-to-day it seems not useful at all.
My biggest gripe is the heart rate monitor. I've only had this thing a month and it's been fairly cold where I live. Sometimes the heart rate monitor is accurate, and sometimes it'll randomly jump to 175 bpm or higher for no reason and stay there for 15 minutes, even when it's obvious I'm closer to 140bpm. Sometimes it'll START at 160 when I'm just warming up and running REALLY slow and then eventually settles down to something more reasonable. This throws off all of my training metrics. The watch will say I need 3.5 days to recover from a fairly easy run because it thinks I was running really hard. It happens enough to be kind of a problem, so I ended up spending MORE money on a chest strap HRM which works much better. When I'm not running, the heart rate data seems accurate. When I'm sleeping it seems accurate too.

Reviewed in Brazil on November 22, 2023
My main criticism is around wrist HRM accuracy. It seems to be decent for running and biking but for weight lifting/gym training its not great. I'd get maybe 80bpm during a squat session, then I'd be showing 150bpm if I had an external chest strap on. Not sure how they can improve that as the wrist needs to be in a good position for more accurate readings, but that's my main gripe. The second thing that would be cool in this model or upcoming ones is either simple text quick message responses that are pre-written or a microphone that could tell Siri replies to write. Last is to my knowledge this watch is not functional with wireless charging and the chord it comes with is only 30-40cm long.
