Unboxing, setup, and menu tour video is live! 👉 ruclips.net/video/VXnyLD2UDK0/видео.html
Could you do more detailed video that gives the memory and other feature differences between models like at the beginning of this video (a breakdown written on screen).
Excellent review. You by far have the best Garmin reviews hands down. Love how you organize the screen size, models, features and other user-related metrics.
Thanks a bunch!
It is amazing how you can keep track of all of those different model numbers and features! I always appreciate your videos and reviews! I personally prefer having the music capability.
This release was a doozy!
I like the way you organize your videos (especially the on screen, listed details that I can pause on and study). Thank you.
Sure thing!
Just got the 6x pro solar, I love it, I'm a big watch guy and the battery life is a plus for me. I almost settled with a Galaxy 4 Classic but I prefer the size and durability of a Garmin. It's my first Garmin product and couldn't be happier. It's worth every dollar :)
Got my Fenix 3hr from your previous reviews and will never give it up. Keep up the awesome job!
Thanks!
I've watched a 1000 Garmin review videos and this was hands down the easiest and straight to the point I've seen 👍
Glad it helped! Thanks!
As a gadget addict and frequent review watcher, I have to wholeheartedly agree.
By far the best short explanation about the difference between those 100.000 new Fenix models :-) Thanks for that 😁⌚👌🏻
Just ordered a 6X Pro Solar for Christmas and I will be returning here for advice. Can't wait to see your video of the unboxing of the solar version. Subscribed. I too live in Colorado.
Des, you make unbelievable good reviews! Hats off for DesFit!
Thanks so much!!
Your explanation of the Pace Pro feature for the 6X Pro was great! Either I wasn't sure how to use it or how best to use it at all... either way, I have a much better understanding of it and will be making use of it for my upcoming race! Thanks much, keep up the good work!
I'm so glad it helped! Thanks!!
Best comparison video i’ve ever seen. All you need in a single video. 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
Great stuff! Hoping to snag my 6 Pro on Friday, and put it through some paces over the weekend. Glad I stumbled onto your Channel...looking forward to watching some of your other gear reviews...much appreciated!
Thanks!
Oh WOW Des you have been busy whilst i've been away.......almost 50k subs! Awesome!
Thanks! Lots of stuff happening! www.thisisant.com/business/events/ant-symposium-2019/speaker/
Thanks bro! Huge help and I think I finally have it down after watching twice.
Glad it helped! Thanks!
Selling my left kidney for this watch was well worth it.
r/holup
Nice
Selling my heart for this watch :)
@@flinze2001 but then heart rate monitor wont work.
@@convex2172 simple means only death i can but this watch. :)
Coffe ready, new desfit video about fenix... let's start the day :)
Yes! Maybe another one today? 🤔😁
Well done. Informative observations, breakdowns, & insight. I love my 5X Plus and was on the fence about stepping into the 6X Plus.
Thanks Cary!
many thank... i have planning to buy a garmin watch, i really love Forerunner 945, but now jeeezzzz....i eager to buy fenix 6 lineup
Your videos are very well detailed and enlightening. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
Love it! Thanks for the review!
Just more going over the features but thanks!
Just purchased the 6 Sapphire. Fantastic watch and a leap up from the 3.
Nice upgrade 👍 Enjoy your watch!
Dude... I'm not in the market for a high-end Garmin but I have to say these new ones are so f'ing cool. Great video as usual!
Btw PacePro is coming to the 945 and 245!
@@DesFit Re: 245 saw that! Pretty cool.
That lamp is freaking genius.
Thanks!
I have the 6 pro with sapphire glass and must say, im quite fond of it.
Great DesFit! Pacepro is the feature that most interest me.You nailed it. Now if only the watch could take into account the incline% for training plans and VO²Max... Thx
Your Galaxy watch active 2
review will be my deciding factor. Please update the device to latest firmware before reviewing :)
I’m back here to watch after a second time to make a decision. Great explanation
Glad the information helps! Thanks!
Amazing review! Thx a lot
Sure thing!
Thanks for the informative content, definitely quality stuff. One off topic thing is a mystery for me anyway, being from Europe, I kind of can't understand the use of a headwear indoors.
Great review, easy to follow..thx
Glad it helped!
Fantastic breakdown
Thanks!
very nice informative video!! now I know exactly which one I want!! thanks!!
Glad the video helped! Thanks!
Still rocking the Fenix 3 HR. I was planning to go with a Samsung watch but I do love my Garmin and I’m excited for this!
Samsung is a huge departure from Garmin in many ways. I’d say just try one to see what you think. Try, not buy 😁
Same 3 hr is great
Hmm well I am still pretty happy that I managed to pickup the 5 plus sapphire on run out sale (440 ish usd). The 6 does look like a good upgrade if you have the cash.
it would be awesome if garmin had a trade-in program. i have the fenix 5x plus and absolutely love it. i dont feel like i need to upgrade but if they had a trade in program i would feel more inclined to upgrade lol
@@Sidowse yea i handed it down to my pops. i have the 6x sapphire now. he had an older forerunner 235 so it was a great upgrade for him lol
Best review I’ve seen yet! You speak well, your organized and detailed! I’m pissed though because I recently bought the Fenix 5X and while I like it it a lot, I would have definitely bought the 6Pro or the one with the solar recharge feature. I wonder if there’s a venue to sell my watch?
Thanks! Ya, kind of like laptops, once you buy one it’s tough when a newer and better version comes out which will inevitably happen.
Sell it on ebay you will most likely get most of the money back
Please advise if I can transfer saved locations that are saved on my Fenix 3HR?
Superb video!!👌
The problem now is which version to get, Solar display vs. Sapphire with the Black DLC finish.
Can have them all in one, as far as the website configurator goes.
Great review! Just ordered the Fenix 6 pro on Amazon for $329.
Thanks and enjoy!
DesFit, my biggest question is the watchface any brighter than the 5/5X?
Amazon is having good deals on fenix 6 line right now
Just purchased a fenix 6x pro for 550, arrives tomorrow👍🏽
As ever. The independent review that goes the full distance
Great explaintion, thanks a lot...
You’re welcome 👍
Please review the stratos 3 when it's out!
Hi DesFit great video!!! Is the Garmin 6X Pro Solar screen scratch proof? I love the sapphire crystal screens bc I have a strong tendency to beat up my watches. Thanks
thank you ! great comparison !
Sure thing and thanks!
Great Videos Man
Thanks!
Great videos ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thank u for this comparison.
Sure thing
Hello, thanks for the video. Would you be able to test if the fenix series is a good enough with a reliable tracking for pool swimming.
I tries forerunner 735xt but it was very unreliable and inaccurate.
It would be amazing of you could test the swim tracking reliability for this range including pool and outdoor
Thanks a million
I miss the Saphir-Glass in the Solar Model 🙉
It took some years for Garmin to implement the heart rate colured gauge into the split screen data fields xD. Better late than never!
It was a great video, thank you.
Sure thing.
Will you be doing a full review video for the Fenix 6 chief
Does the 945 come with the golf and ski resort maps built in? Do any other Garmin watches come with those maps built in or do they require a download?
...glad they went nuts with the bands lol. Huge selling point... e.g. Apple? Cycling, don't really need music and apps. Like all the options... good stuff.
Each type of fenix 6 is 200 off right now on amazon including the solar version
Great video
Thanks!
Hi. Great video. Does the 6 pro have "go back" feature? I have a farm inside a tropical Forrest, I would like to use it to not get lost!
between 6x pro vs 6x pro solar, are there any difference in display size?
can this watch change to analog watch instead of numbers? like can u change the watchface on it?
Thank you for your videos, they are great!!
Did you think to speak about WSD-F21HR - PRO TREK | CASIO? Is there already a video of yours? Maybe a comparison with the watches here presented can be an idea!
Thanks!
Leos
Does any of the models come with the black/dark grey metal band as standard?
Does pacepro only work on the 6? Or does it also work on the 5 plus as well?
Awesome video! Thank you for the info. I’ve been looking at which Garmin to get and decided on a Fenix model...then had trouble figuring out the difference between the models.
Not sure if I should go for the 6 pro vs 6 solar pro. Don’t think the solar is quite worth it yet. Might get the 6 pro and sell if the next version has great solar...especially for ultras. Thanks again!
The solar charging capabilities are negligible so if it's a big price difference the regular Pro will do just great. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. One question about fenix 6. Even if it not supports maps, could i navigate a komoot track or plan a course or .gpx and navigate it? Thanks in advance
Hi Des , did you do a review of the 6Pro & 6Pro solar as I can’t see it in your videos? I’m interested in buying my first Garmin and want to choose between one of the mentioned but would appreciate your review and your advice please,Thanks.
Do you think the Sapphire is worth the upcharge? I don't think I'll be running through the woods or anything crazy but not sure how well the basic screen will stand up.
Is sapphire worth it? Asking as I don’t need music or WiFi. Wish there was a base 6 sapphire. Thank you for video.
I currently have the Fossil Gen 6 and I have been using it for fitness purposes. That said, I wanted to get another one solely for fitness and keep the fossil for more... formal occasions. While it works, half the time I'm actually worried that I'm going to bang it on things and scratch it. I've been looking at the Pro and it's been a while since it came out, do you think it's worth buying it now?
Is there noticeable difference in 6x screen resolution 280x280?
Does the solar feature actually draw much power ?
0:27 wow,, well said intro
FINALLY a SCREEN update!
Wait no! PPI is probably STILL the same!
Des, have Garmin made any comment on what if any of these software features will come to the Fenix 5X+? With the exception of the different chipset and screen res it looks like the hardware should be there to support most of these features?
Can you verify that there is a DLC Tiatanium band option coming? And if you do, how much over standard ti band will it cost? Ty in advance!
Which Garmin watch is more geared for mtb riders and are there mtb’s maps available from Garmin to download to which ever watch accepts the download.
Thanks a bunch
Sure thing
Thank you for the quick review, always look forward to your videos. My biggest question with the F6 is how much of a sacrifice is getting the solar one which does not come with the sapphire glass. I understand the reasoning behind it but is the Power Glass is based on Corning Gorilla glass 3 like the non sapphire version is, how much more scratch resistant is the sapphire?
I’ve had my 5x plus sapphire with DLC for a year and the glass is perfect with a lot of abusive use. How is the non sapphire F5 plus one?
Thank you!
I’ve crashed with my 945 a handful of times which uses Gorilla Glass and it’s been holding up, but I can’t deny that all the sapphire watches that I’ve had over the years are still perfect. The bezel is a different story, however...haha.
Is there goal pace for cycling?
How many of these features do you think we 5 plus owners will see in a future update?
🔥
The Solar is the way to go if you are going to spend the money anyway, if you like big watches or are coming from a Gshock. However, the 6 series isnt easy to sleep with if you like the sleep tracking. 245, Venu, Vivoactive4, and even the 945 feel better at night. Still, I prefer the Solar
Good video
Thanks!
Great review! But my F5+ has already so many features I don't need or use, why pay more for more things I don't use? E.g. popularity routing leads me along main roads although I live in the woods, or the navigation, which I used only to try it out. What I need is navigation along a pre-defined track, the maps, accurate GPS and flawless connection to the sensors, the rest is nice or even useless!
Yup, only buy what you really need :)
Can anyone help me? Is there a Fenix 6X Pro and a Fenix 6X Pro Solar & what are the differences coming
Hello does the pro solar have comprehensive Vo2 max reading?
Hy guys can anyone help me please, I just bought mine one month ago (fenix 6 pro solar) and I haven't really time to explore it, but today I found out that the ski maps are missing.. what should I do, should I return it
Hi Desfit, is it worth buying 6X Pro? I just received a good discount, but I worry about the fact that these watches are almost 2 years old and since Enduro lacks a few features, I still wait for Fenix 7 or some. maybe already on its way .. dont know
Have you tried the Heathered bracelet?
Always enjoy the reviews and information. Can anyone tell me the song playing during the outro? Nice tune that.
Thanks! Faded by Ooyy
I'm an Ulta marathon runner & a GB running coach I'm running with a garmin 945 it's great but I'm looking at the garmin fenix 6x pro or the solar one, do both of these have exactly the same features, I understand that the garmin solar one would last longer on battery life. Are they both fully waterproof in the rain, I need it for my running job & my own running group, I need the battery to last on a 70 mile Ultra Marathon in a very hot country. Without it melting to my arm lol 😆 I did find a high end garmin Adventure watch but its well priced at £1,400 pounds a mate has got it & it's just brilliant 👏
Great video!
Is the sapphire version of the fenix 6 essentially a pro with tougher glass?
Yup!
oh man, i just need topo maps, tide times, sunrise/sunset for camping activities... i wont use anything else including the hr sensors... the casio pro trek f30 ok but the battery life is terrible... man i dont know what to buy...
Great explanation. But I’ll stay with my Apple Watch series 5
What about offline maps for hunting, is it reliable to use it while hunting in the mountains or the jungle?
YES Gps/Maps work anywhere in world!!.....as I bought mine for hunting/Kayaking.......There's like 3 different satellites you can Choose from(they even have 1, that's for Subways, deep underground stuff)........You can download Terrain elevation style maps.....or some people have Full "google earth" style maps.....but I think that's "3rd party" software and FREE on the Fenix 5.......not sure if it's designed for Fenix 6 yet........I would imagine so.
HI I used 235 and edge 25 for mtb , I saved up and upgraded to Fenix 5x and loved the training status and vo2 max recovery time, Since covid 19 I've taken to Trail running and all my training status has gone, I get a message (run twice outdoors with a heart rate to see your status) does this mean none of these functions work only on flat roads or track running. is the fenix 6 the same ?
Yup, you have to use the Run profile and not the trail running profile to get those metrics. Too many variations with trails to be able to calculate those metrics properly unfortunately.
The Fenix 6 Solar Pro is the one I like the best at this point. I know I won't be using all the functions it has but I think at the end is cheaper buying a full watch than buying two or three scaling in uses. Maybe waiting for the 7 models is a wise idea though. Great video
Dude excellent video as usally:) can you please confirm that It dosent actually exist a 6 solar not pro version? All the solar are also pro right? Thanks a lot for helping
With the 42mm face for 6s and 6s pro you can't get the titanium strap!
