I've been watching and reading reviews for weeks now, and this is by far the best review I've seen of the 6x. Thank You!
Appreciate it ‼️
genuine and informative review man. thank you for this
Awesome Review! About to order this bad boy today! Thank you for confirming my hunch to do so
I love my Fenix 6X. The Sapphire glass makes it almost impossible to break the screen and I love the look of it. It's survived field training exercises and more I've gone through with it. Thanks for the review.
Have music? 32GB? Without smartphone?
Been waiting for your review and it was worth the wait. Great review once again.
Really appreciate that dude!!!
Finally, a reviewer like me! Brilliant review. Thank you.
Great review dude, thanks. just ordered my Fenix 6 Sapphire and I can't wait for it to arrive.
Thank you for a very clear and timestamped video! Finally just something I can jump to the part I'm actually curious about, and all very clearly videoed. Thank you!
Appreciate it!
I really like this video. Easy to understand as a consumer rather than a professional. Thanks
Thanks 👍
You are so right about the cable being too short! I bought generic cable that is longer but did not function as well as the Garmin cable and was thinner as well. Nice review and really appreciated!
I had the same issue with third party cables.. Some only charge and do not transfer data. Plus, as you said, they are really thin when compared to oem
Try getting a USB extension cord instead of a knock off garmin cord.
@@Mark-OutWest Excellent idea!
2 yrs into my fenix 5x, battery life is getting short (short being charge every week) but otherwise it's been indestructible. I've given it hell! Stainless bezel is covered in scrapes and gouges, sapphire is still pristine. GPS takes long time to find location now too.
How is it holding up?
Great review! Honest and simple! Thank you very much indeed.
For what you're getting I really do think it's good value. I'm just an average dude like you who hits the Gym and enjoys hiking. No ultra marathons here... yet. But I love tech and gadgets so I am really quite tempted!
It's pretty bad value when you consider the Apple Watch does everything this does, with a much better screen with the only downside being less battery life.
I have both, the benefit for this over the Apple Watch is the battery life, which my be relevant if you're doing ultra-events. But it's at least twice the price.
Finally a review for a regular type of dude like me, i dont have to run a 5k everyday. Just get stats on my health, gps tracking, weather and heartrate. Just picked up a 6 sapphire on 30%discount because of this. $470 not too shabby
For 3 months how has the watch been. Performance, reliability, satisfaction wise lmao
@devin9748 not the person you asked but I can answer your question. The 6 is amazing and still relevant now in 2024. I still wear my 5X plus occasionally. Garmin makes great watches.
i love your watch tan line haha. great review!!!
Thank you so much!!
i just upgraded from a Fenix 3 HR to a Fenix 6X Sapphire. Amazing watch at first glance. Thanks for the review.
Appreciate it ‼️
Same
Im still using fenix 3 hr sapphire since 2017. Been through everything with me, sea, mountains, cycling, to my job activities, and its still like on the first day. Battery is amazing, everything is amazing.
Im considering if i should get 6x sapphire or maybe wait for garmin 7?
Great review. All the information I needed. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I am that maraton guy. Who train 6 to 7 days per week. And I have seen more than 20 other reviews of GF6X. And I was still confused because i was not sure if I really need this watch.
After your review - i still dont know if i need it, but now I know I want it. Thanks @jabber
Awesome man!!!!! Glad I could persuade you lol
Not your fault pal, I was having a bad day. Can I email you a question? Your Channel is very good! Thanks!!
If ‘ChrisFix’ reviewed watches...😂
Can't wait to get one!
I like how you talk fast and don't take breaks.
Thanks,so do I 😆😂
Great review. I just upgraded from Fenix 5X Sapphire plus to Fenix 6x sapphire
Good choice!
How acurate are the steps a day? I often had 4000 more than apple watch showed me! Did u change the step length in the garmin app or how did u handle it?!
My question is why charge 800 dollars for a pro watch but only put gorilla glass and not sapphire in the first place knowing someone that is paying this much for a watch is more then likely going to take it through hell.. I have the fenix 6x pro.. then found out later that they had a sapphire version.. personally all of them should be made out of that. ?!
Sapphire has glare
I just wasted 15 mins of my life writing a fair review that wasn't putting Garmin on a good light and it was wiped out. Souch a fair channel, I will definitely subscribe :))
I've had the Fenix 3hr,Fenix 5x, Ive got the Fenix 5x plus.... and hopefully I'll have saved up enough money to get this Fenix 6x sapphire by mid November.... at 50 I need the bigger screen... otherwise I'd stick with my Fenix 5x plus...
Great review, thanks : -) 👍
Appreciate it!
“Any watch that’s called a super watch or a fitness watch should give you more stats than you know what to do with”. Hilarious 😂
Thanks for the heads up on the Fenix 6X.
No problem 👍
Thanks for a great video. Like to ask you what is the size of your wrist? Also, could you say how you managed to get the battery percentage AND days together on the screen? I haven't figured that out yet.
If u go into battery saver, you'll see an option for battery info
Hi love the your reviews I love the garmin fenix 6x sapphire would you use it as just a smartwatch the reason I'm asking I've been diagnosed with copd so I need a good watch that can do my heart monitoring and also pulse ox I've looked at your gamin videos and love them all so would you advise that the fenix 6x sapphire would be an ideal watch for what I want I await your reply
I am considering a purchase for the Fenix 6; facing a road block to go for the Sapphire or the Pro Solar. Is there a massive battery difference between either of the two in real world condition’s? I am not going to be in perfect sun light with 50,000 lux intensity all the time. Does the Pro Solar come with any additional features that are not present on the Sapphire? Garmin says touch targeting is only available on the Solar edition and not on the Sapphire, is this true?
Great review. Quick question that I have not been able to get an answer on from Garmin. What is the tip-to-tip measurement (length) on the 6x sapphire + bands?
Great Review looking to get this watch
Awesome 👍
Thanks man, great review. The independent wifi for music thing is a bit annoying, but you should be able to create a wireless hotspot on your phone and do it that way right?
You probably could but why make it so difficult
I’m thinking 2021 there will be the Fenix 7 - prob expensive in comparison but Fenix 6s sapphire reads very well - battery life, ability to play music without phone, has map options, run dynamics with foot pod (still not sure if this required as you tube review not highlighting this) & the sapphire scratch resistant screen - the 945 is all plastic and the 745 although newer has the coach training built in but the shocking battery hence making the watch features worse. I’m thinking the Fenix 7 will prob include this run coach option and be better to wait for with fantastic battery and the health monitoring features too? The forerunner 920
I have is old now but still works great - just wait for new release 2021?
One needs The electric Hammer to go along with this beautiful watch.
Hi what size wrist do you have thanks great review
How about the map? Any radar for our location provided? The watch can detect the surrounding temperature and weather by itself?
Thank you for the info.
Do you notice much battery drain with the skytracker watchface? It says it runs in the background I'm just wary of how much it will use.
Ordered one today. I bought the coros Apex Pro recently, but its just not robust enough.
Hi Jabber, thank you for the nice review. Want to buy a Fenix 6, just cant decide between the Fenix 6 Pro and the Fenix 6x pro. Mainly size wise. Cause since corona and not being able to try the wathces on, I am scared that the 51mm Fenix 6x Pro would be too big on my 7 inch wrist. Thats why I am at the moment more on the Fenix 6 Pro side. What would you say?
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work :)
Did you buy it
ХМ, отличный Watch face в самом начале, подскажите как называется?
Great Review! Thank you. Which watch face is this?
Appreciate it! Check description 👍
Stupid question: in case of being lost: does the 6x have a home option to route you back to safety? I know the maps. But each GPS I own has a home location.
Great video bro. Quick question. What watch face is that?
Glad you enjoyed it! Check video description usually it's there
I've had the Fenix 5x sapphire for a few years now. Is this an upgrade that offers any new features? or does my watch have the same functions? I mainly use it for hiking and mapping my course when outdoors away from ant cell signal.
This might help you out th-cam.com/video/okpZ8btlxrE/w-d-xo.html
Ciao ... è compatibile con fascia cardio polar H10.
Grazie
Do you have anything to say about the brightness and visibility of the sapphire display in normal lighting? A number of people have commented that fenix's with sapphire glass are less bright and hampered more by reflections than those with the gorilla glass display.
This is true but we'll worth it
Just picked this up for $699 from Miyar. Looking forward to putting it through it’s paces.
That's a great price!!
Great review dude. So can you talk on the watch if somebody calls you or do you have to use your phone. Also where is the link for the blue band and exact color it looks great.
Appreciate it! Nope, no speaker or mic on the watch, you have to utilize your phone for calls.
I like the blue band as well.. Check it out here! th-cam.com/video/Re5vWoL48hc/w-d-xo.html
@@TheJabberTech so no Dick Tracey experience.
Nope, if you want that, buy an Apple Watch.
Wow. Great video thank you!!!
Thanks ‼️
What was the brightness level of your 6X set to in the video?
I just sent back my 6X sapphire today as in a dark environment even at 5% brightness the screen had a very washed out pink hue to it making the blacks look very washed out with hardly any colour on the screen. Needless to say if I put the brightness to 20% it made things even worse.
Interested in your thoughts!
That's strange for sure. My brightness level is at 20%
Jabber Tech I’d love it if you make a video of your watch showing the backlight at 20% brightness in a dark environment as yours looks way better than mine. It would give me piece of mind that I done the right thing sending it back (which was a shame as it was a nice watch) but I know the backlight was not acceptable for a expensive item.
It’s a good watch with a good battery life but a bit expensive and no touch screen. But some are gonna love it especially hikers bikers runners ...
Touch screen is useless when exercising. And without exercising this watch is bad choice as it is fitness and not so smart watch.
Hi, thank you for the review.
Do you still using it? How is the dlc Bezel doing after 1 year in terms scratches? Does it still looking fine?
Still great.yiu can see it here th-cam.com/video/1HI09JdmUSg/w-d-xo.html
Good review 👍👍👍💪💪💪
How's the HR sensor on this? I have the Vivoactive 4 and the HR sensor is incredibly inaccurate. Killer review! That blue band is killer.
It's been awesome for me
Great video...... Can you review the Marq Commander?
I'm sure I will one day
Love the watch but I can't get it to connect to my phone on the app any help is apreciated
I have a Forerunner 945, and the only major upgrade after watching this vid is the sapphire screen. This is a beautiful watch, but I will happily pass and keep my 945 for now 🙃
İt's 6th series and still can't be used as answering calls by watch right? Don't get upgraded. Not much changed then..
Just thought of mentioning that anyone with health providers like BCBS or others in US can get upto 20% of on this watch. That's like 230$ on the top model solar.
How
@@racheley05 The one i know of is through bcbs Blue365 site. I have purchased with 20% off. But this was 10 months back..so the deals might have changed. just check it out.
Is the fenix 6x sapphire has a WiFi is it differ than the 6x pro or it is already a pro ?
I am using garmin 945 now a legendary gps watch,they are almost the same as this fenix 6x
Can you please tell me the circumference of your wrist. I'm afraid the 6X might be too big.
Hi Jabber Tech, Thanks for your videos! I have an Apple Watch series 5 but I am thinking of getting a proper fitness watch. Is it still worth buying the fénix 6 pro? Any other recommendation at this point in time?
You can't go wrong with the F6 series .
Jabber Tech can go?
Typo.. Can't go wrong 😂
Jabber Tech hahaha thanks!!!
Great review! I might hold on little longer to my 3 months old Fenix 5X. Please advise where to buy the blue strap!! Looks so dope
Appreciate it ‼️ check out my review of the blue band.. Also did other colors. I got it from Garmin direct but should have a link in my review for amazon th-cam.com/video/Re5vWoL48hc/w-d-xo.html
Good review. Bro, i was thinking about to buy the solar version. Is it worth it without the sapphire glass? Please advise. TQ
Appreciate it 😊 I wouldn't give up sapphire for solar. The amount of power that the tiny solar cell will provide isn't worth it, unless you are climbing Mt kilimanjaro. Lol
@@TheJabberTech okay i will buy the sapphire version then. TQ for your feedback
Agreed the sapphire is a better choice.
This a pro version? How you find the tracker face? Lag?
What is the watch face you have on this video? I love the look of it!
Check video description if it's there
Cheers Mate!
What is the difference between 6x and 6x pro solar?
So far the best review but, the watch you reviewed is 6X pro Sapphire or 6X Sapphire ? Just ordered 6X Pro sapphire, 51 mm case diameter.
Do you mind me asking what face watch you’re having on yours?
Regards,
Florin
Appreciate it thanks! Its the 6x sapphire. Sadly from over 2 years ago I don't remember the watch face but check the description as I usually put it there
@@TheJabberTech No problem , I have found it in one of your tutorials regarding face watches.
All the best.
Great video,I have a Galaxy watch ,but Fenix looks awesome except display,would try and switch next year,too expensive now
Appreciate it ‼️
u gonna love its always on display!

Can u conect your garmin to ear plague while u r still conect to the phone?
I have two questions for you, 1. How well do you think it would hold up to a warzone/desert environment? Since you've had a hands on look at this watch. 2. Do you happen to know of any smart watches that are not fitness orientated?
It should work out best for that environment. It's not a question of which smartwatch isn't fitness oriented, it's more like which smartwatch actually is fitness oriented. They all try to sell the fitness aspect but don't do it well.. Looking at all Samsung watches and a lot of WearOS watches
Jabber Tech right on thanks for the reply. I have a Samsung one but for whatever reason I don’t get notifications anymore, which I read is a common issue. So I’m looking out for a new one. One with compass, barometric pressure, temp, chemical and shock resistant, and of course receive notifications lol.
@@XJwolf4 Have a look at suunto they have a watch dedicated for military,shooters etc it is called a traverse alpha that might suit your needs if youre banging about or on tough terrain.
Hope this helps.
@@XJwolf4 you could also look at garmins watch for the military (Garmin Tactix Delta) ;)
btw they also have models specifically for pilots (D2 air), sailers (quatix), diving (descent), golf (marq or approach) and more...
Have you tried the Heathered bracelet? What are your thoughts on that?
I've never tried it
the Fenix 6 is a beast!! worth every penny! yes its expensive but I promise you this, you'll put down the Apple Watch! this watch blows the competition away!!
Does the watch show the distance from an indoor activity (cross trainer or indoor bike) when you manually enter it in the app after the activity?
Very close on a treadmill
You got like before first minute of video 👍🏼
Appreciate it!!!
How to set 1KM in mobile apps in my phone I have seen 1.61km I think it’s converted 1mile= 1.61km how to set 1KM
I have 6 pro love it a great watch, so is this review :-) Could you please tell me which watchface is that? Oh find it under the video, nevermind.
Can you share wifi from the phone?
Does it have a cover on the charge port?
I hope so because the charge contacts on my 5X corroded,now it can’t charge.
That’s why I’m thinking about the 6x.
nope.
Just be carfull buying this watch now there is a bad batch going around with faulty screens, where when back light comes on it turns blue n contrast is terrible i had to send 2 back in less then 2 days
Up graded from the 5x Sapphire to the 6pro Solar because the 5 is at the bottom of the lake. Won’t were the new one water skiing. Oops 😬
Garmin 6 Saphire vs Garmin 6x Pro. Which one I should buy? I am aware that the saphire glass is better quality, but is it worth the extra cash? Or should I buy the 6x Pro and buy a screen protector for it?
Sapphire all the way
I went with the 6X Pro with a screen protector. It was about an extra €150 for the Sapphire. I don't see the point. The Gorilla glass screen is clearer too even with the screen protector. I also use one of those plastic cases which protects the bezel. I guess it also protects the screen a little indirectly. It does make the watch look cheap though. I would definitely use the screen protector though. If only for peace of mind.
What about watch faces? Can we find downloadable watch faces to switch up occasionally? If yes, from where?
Check video description
I would like to know what´s your watch face!! I really like it :)
Check the video description
Is this black or carbon grey?
the best watch EVER! will be picking this up later this year! #LetsDoThis
Love the watch
Looks at prices
Hell. No
Looks non sapphire version
A bit cheaper
But 500
I'm cool fam I wait the price to come down
6 Pro is on sale. $100 off.
Can You share the link?
It’s on the Garmin website....
buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/641479/pn/010-02158-01
Do you know if Garmin will sell or send a different bezel, I have the fenix 6 solar but I'd like to have the marq or tatix bezel.
They will not
Only problem with the watch is, it DOES NOT play all mp3 files for some reason ! And that is mega mega annoying. I have all my songs on my laptop in mp3 format, then I transfer them to my watch and when i listen to my music, always is the same problem. 5... songs play perfect and then the next song doesn't play -it's just silence. And I need to skip that song manually in the watch, from headphones, the watch doesn't allow to skip that song.
Nice review! The 6x looks good.
Would you mind sharing your wrist size?
I'm a bit unsure whether I should go for the 6 or the 6x sizewise: i want to have the larger version for alpine tours, trail running etc. but I worry that it looks too big for everyday use at the office.
Do the messages read? Do you also read who they come from? Can I talk to Apple AirPods if I answer a call?
is that nice blue strap a standard option?
No it's extra. th-cam.com/video/Re5vWoL48hc/w-d-xo.html
Does the text replies work with Apple phones?
NIce, What face are you using? Looks sweet!!
Appreciate it! Check my video description 😎
