I also have small wrists so it was awesome to get feedback from another woman with small wrists. Thanks for sharing the details about the red-light flashing and the option for leather or nylon wrist bands as well. Great review- thanks for sharing!
Very helpful content including stuff you don't find elsewhere, like the lug-to-lug distance. Men and women don't necessarily focus on the same details in reviews.
I was marginally interested in this ... until I found the price ... holy cow. I wouldn't put something on my wrist that cost that much. I refer to my watches/fitness tracker as wrist protectors, as they stop my wrist from being scratched the many, many times it hits a wall, a floor (working on my car/bike), etc.
@@BeckyStern exactly like my wrist! I'm a little afraid to be discomfortable during sleep! I'm undecided between the 245 music and 6S! Thank you very much for your help! Keep up with the great videos!
Hi Becky, I’m considering buying this 6s. However, the standard band might be to short for a man’s wrist. Would you tell me where I can find quality QuickFit bands (large or long) pls? Thx
Thank you for the review. How is the battery life. I know it’s depends on the apps you are using such as gps, listening music etc. but if you would guess how often you need to recharge it with daily using.? TIA
just bought one for myself and I find the screen to have the stupid blue backlight with ugly contrast. do you have this as well? does it bother you at all?
Becky Stern I got my husband the 6 sapphire and the screen has the backlight but it doesn’t turn the screen blue. i’d share a pic side by side if I could lol I really love the watch but it’s disappointing that there’s such a difference in the two watches I have.
Awesome review, and nice to see non-sponsored honest info. What I haven't really been able to fully identify, is what can be done without your phone in your pocket? I assume the maps, heartrate and environmental information is still updated without it? Thanks for the info!
Depends on the model. Mine can do maps, GPS, and pre-loaded music away from the phone. Temperature is gleaned from the phone connection, but altitude and biometrics are on the phone.
Hi Becky, a little over 4 months. Are you still happy with it? I have the Samsung Gear and am super happy with it, but I gotta charge it daily because it won't make it through the second day. Any new pros/cons or have any failures? Thanks!!
Bit late to the party. But I’m asking advice , I want a smart watch , I’ve never owned one. Hubby currently has an Apple smart watch but they Ugly af. I’m torn with this or the fossil gen 5 . I assumed they all did what the Apple Watch does then after watching 1000’s of reviews I figured out they don’t 😭😭😭😭 I have an iPhone and I workout . Not a fitness fanatic but I still like a work out 4 times a week. I love the look of this gen 5 or the garmin Vivo. BUT my question is , is there any point getting these watches when nearly everyone is saying wear OS is crap, and lags on opening up. Plus I want to be able to answer my phone and read my iMessages when they come through . Any input would be appreciated xx ( I need it to last 12 hours )

This was a great review. The other reviews focus so much on fitness applications that daily use of other common watch features are missed. Thanks!
Oohhh! Love that "find my phone" feature! Learned something new! I am sure I will use that often!
I love your pink leather band but can't find it anywhere. Both your links go to the black nylon band. TIA!
Awesome review Becky 😊
Great review
Where did u buy the pink leather band?😍
Thank you, you have covered the most feature that I am looking for, now time to buy it
Impressive review , you had my attention from start to finish
Thanks!
excellent introduction.. thank-you Becky
thanks for the straight-forward review!
you have me sold!
Beautiful watch and useful review
Is it comfortable on your wrist? I see it has a convex back. Worried it will dig into my bony wrist... Great video btw.
where can you get that watch you hav? and dos it come whith black and gold ??

it's tested to military standards, so you don't have to worry about damaging it when hitting it on something.
great review Becky! Can you please tell me what is your wrist diameter? keep up with the great work!
16cm circumference

Hi Becky, I’m considering buying this 6s. However, the standard band might be to short for a man’s wrist. Would you tell me where I can find quality QuickFit bands (large or long) pls? Thx
I got my bands on Amazon
Becky Stern Just got my fenix 6s today ;)
Where did you get that charging port cover from? Mine is always getting gunked up, that’s a great idea
Amazon. Link in the description.
May I ask how big is your wrist? My wrist is 14 cm, so I am not sure if this is too big for me or not.
Thanks for the review! It was super helpful.
Hi Becky, I'm trying to decide which color and was wondering if this one is the light gold with light sand band or is it rose gold?
Rose gold
Thank you for the review. How is the battery life. I know it’s depends on the apps you are using such as gps, listening music etc. but if you would guess how often you need to recharge it with daily using.? TIA
Once every four days
just bought one for myself and I find the screen to have the stupid blue backlight with ugly contrast. do you have this as well? does it bother you at all?
Uh. Yeah, I like the backlight because it means I can read the watch in the dark. Never thought of it as ugly.

Becky Stern loved the review though, thank you!
you mentioned sever times lug to lug distance, but what is exact value?
~45mm

@@BeckyStern Good to know! Does it then record/store your maps/gps travel info to the app once it connects after a trip?
@@Devinatron yes

I wore it for months before making this review. Charge lasts about 4 days with my usual use. It's a bit thick but otherwise I'm happy.
@@BeckyStern Thanks for the response. It's looking like my next watch will be the 6 pro then. :-)
Hi! Would you mind sharing the link for what bands you purchased extra? I just purchased the fenix 6s.
Links in the description!
Becky Stern thank you! Must have passed right over that! :)
I'll get to use it.
Is it 42mm?
Thanks for the info Becky! 😃👍🏻⌚👊🏻
Garmin UI still needs work! It's a bit clunky still
Is this Watch is for both? I mean iOS and Android?
Yes.
I am in two minds, Fenix 6s or 6. Becky, what is your wrist size if I may ask? Thanks!
16cm
Is this a solar powered watch?
No.
Thx for the good music!...👍😊
lovely content
This watch is soo great for a good athlete. But for me, even though i am super tempted to buy it, i always stop to think how underused it would be.
Me too! I'm still tempted to get it, though!
@@erikapk I got it eventually. Couldn't stop myself. 😂 It's really good.
Is this also sapphire? Or just pro?
Yep, sapphire version.
So Nice to find a woman reviewer, it is more relatable. Is the gold colour long-lasting? Thanks.
Yep, it's still as good-looking as the day this video was released!

just bought it for my gf. hope she likes it
Nice one
Not water resistant?
It is.
Is it a ladies watch?
Yeah, and also for Ladyboy's watch as well ❤
The red light is pulse ox and not the hr 🙄
Whoops, sorry!
Is it fit for men?
Yes, just like the rest of the world. There's even a bigger size just for you.
I have 6s and I love it! (I have small wrists)
How long your wrist?
📝
Becky would u be able to post picture of your watch with the nylon band all tgr pls? I cant decide which to get
Super skin love it
600 hundred dollars!!! NO way!! Overpriced as usual from Garmin!
Spend $$ in a watch just for walking? No way.
Bitte einmal in Deutsch ! Gruß Sandra
