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

[@devin9748]

For 3 months how has the watch been. Performance, reliability, satisfaction wise lmao

[@black79montecarlo123]

​@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.

[@WoodyASU]

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!

[@TheJabberTech]

Appreciate it ‼️

[@mlcmusic8243]

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. ?!

[@shakibshibly00]

Sapphire has glare

[@peterwelsh6975]

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.

[@NeverFollowTheCrowd]

How is it holding up?

[@RileyBarrad]

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.

[@charlesgalvao321]

Have music? 32GB? Without smartphone?

[@samfletcher93]

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!

[@JohnBaxendale]

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.

[@islander_kool_kat]

i just upgraded from a Fenix 3 HR to a Fenix 6X Sapphire. Amazing watch at first glance. Thanks for the review.

[@TheJabberTech]

[@BabyDoocks]

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?

[@supotube]

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

[@TheJabberTech]

Awesome man!!!!! Glad I could persuade you lol

[@doctorrobert60]

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!

[@TheJabberTech]

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

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.

[@TheJabberTech]

This is true but we'll worth it

This might help you out kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZzTi2uYqdGrqKc

[@astronaut77]

Does it have the same problem with ABC like the 5X where the Altitude, Barometer, Temperature sensor fail after few months? I had to swap my old 5X about 9 times under warranty because of this Altimeter, Barometer, Temperature failure issue.

[@TheJabberTech]

My unit never had an issue but if I had to return something 9 times, I would never buy another thing form the company again!

[@astronaut77]

@@TheJabberTech This is exactly what happened, although Garmin has exactly everything I need in fitness watch and I never seen any watch like it, but after last time I requested a refund and not a replacement because I prefer that the option doesn't exist to be there and faulty. Then I bought a Suunto 9 Baro and it was the worst watch ever by far, software wize, but hardware was good, and I still have it but I'm not happy with it at all and I would never buy Suunto again. But since Fenix 6 released I was thinking maybe they fixed that issue, the only thing I'm thinking about that maybe causes this issue is that I used to swim a lot with it (like more than 5km at a time few times a week) in the pool and the chemicals maybe helped developing this issue because I used to see the Altimeter change dramatically after I get off the pool. Hence was my question

[@oneofAli]

İt's 6th series and still can't be used as answering calls by watch right? Don't get upgraded. Not much changed then..

[@Jjhillb]

Great review. All the information I needed. Thanks

[@TheJabberTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jacquelinebattley3529]

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?

[@Chromemaster25]

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?

[@TheJabberTech]

Sapphire all the way

[@awilderireland]

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.

[@Scoobied77]

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!

[@TheJabberTech]

That's strange for sure. My brightness level is at 20%

[@Scoobied77]

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.

The reason for connection to wifi to download music is because even fast bluetooth is slow. You should however be able to do just fine with your phone if you enable personal hotspot. I have same hotspot name/password on my phone as at home then it's very easy just take various devices on the go without having to reconfigure.

[@TheJabberTech]

I have other watches that transfer over bluetooth, slow or not..should be a feature on a $1000 watch

[@HifiCentret]

@@TheJabberTech It is not uncommon for big mainstream companies to deliberately omit features that are at risk for being slow, cumbersome and/or hotline intensive to have - leaving it for the small niche companies with tech savy users. Sometimes it's over all better just to omit a feature than having a ton of negative reviews complaining about it being slow. In some bluetooth revisions devices can establish connection over bluetooth but then use wifi to transfer data. That however requires support which not all phones have. So less negative reviews about a slow feature even though it's the users fault using lower end equipment and less calls to hotline. The tech savy people just turns on personal hotspot on phone and get over it.

Thanx for a great video. I use an Apple Watch 24-7 for just about everything, but I recently have been looking at the Fenix 6X as an fitness watch only, what is your opinion of having two watches, how is the fitness functionalities on the Fenix compared to the Apple Watch? I ride MTB, take powerwalks, some weight lifting and plan to start running. The Apple Watch is pretty good for my needs, but I am an statistics nerd and thinking of buying a Fenix to use just for training and not as a smart watch.

[@TheJabberTech]

Appreciate it! Never used an apple watch sorry

[@Hyper_Driven]

In my opinion it just depends. Use the Fenix as a fitness watch and use the Apple Watch to track what it can and use other apps. You can use the Apple Watch for the functions the Fenix doesn’t provide which for me would be communication, other alerts and info. If it’s an Apple Watch that has cellular you can leave your phone home if you go running and don’t want to carry a phone around but still want comms. I’m a stat/data nerd too and will be using both. LoL.

[@TheJabberTech]

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

[@4BlueDrummer]

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.

Do you feel this is much of a upgrade from the 5 plus sapphire?

Never owned the 5 plus so cannot say. Coming from the 5x plus, it's a minor upgrade for my uses of the watch.

Jabber Tech too late. Lol I found a guy that sold me his 6x sapphire for $500

Too late for what. You just bought yourself an awesome watch! 😎 Sounds right on time to me
