When you are ready to run, you can load this PacePro data and use it to monitor your pace in real-time. The display will show your target split pace, your current split pace, and how far off you are from your overall goal. You also can see the distance remaining on the current split. PacePro was immensely useful during my runs, keeping me focused on a single lap at a time instead of the total length of my run. It also helped me slow down on steep mountain runs allowing me to conserve energy on the inclines and make up time on the downhills. For mountain runners who want to take the guess work out of pacing, this feature is a godsend. The Garmin Fenix 6 doesn’t introduce any software features that drastically set it apart from the previous year’s Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, but rather a number of tweaks and adjustments which all help make the watch more intuitive than before. Alright, this isn’t noticeably slimmer on the wrist but it does feel slightly lighter - weighing 7g less than the previous equivalent model. This is a welcome improvement for a smartwatch known for being rather cumbersome. However, you can extend this to 28 days if it’s put in expedition GPS activity mode or even a whopping 48 days in the new battery saver mode. We haven’t had the watch long enough yet to see how accurate these claims are, but we’ll be sure to update you further down the line. The differences in price vary greatly because of the sheer number of added extras available, each of which is targeted at different kinds of users. Design and display

Elsewhere it’s all the same as a standard Fenix. There’s no touchscreen, instead, there’s the five-button array which works just the same as the rest of the Fenix devices. It’s generally pretty easy to use – although the huge array of options and customization the Fenix offers is more often than not hidden behind a very opaque menu system. Garmin knows this, and new users will get irritating “tips” displayed on the watch. HRV stress test (measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level; the scale of this is 1 to 100; low scores indicate lower stress levels) This is some of our favorite data, and a huge reason to invest in the Fenix 6. As runners, we’re addicted to the Training Effect and Training Status data, which is a great way to evaluate sessions.

The prices vary based on your choice of model, color, and strap, but generally speaking the base Fenix 6 is the cheapest with the 6S and 6X being a step up in terms of price. The most expensive is the Fenix 6X Pro Solar, which offers everything the 6X does plus solar charging and a lighter body. Whilst the Fenix 6S is a true multisport watch (it records everything from open water swimming, triathlon and weights , to skiing and golf) there are a number of functions that make it a particularly perfect watch for runners. It includes the Advanced Running Dynamics feature which provides you with a plethora of running data alongside the usual pace, distance, elevation and mile/km splits.You get a serious amount of sensor tech built into the Fenix 6S, which is a large part of that punchy price tag. The best for power saving is the maximum battery mode, which will turn off most of the Fenix 6’s most demanding features, such as the heart rate sensors, music, phone notifications and GPS. Hiking, Climbing, Mountain Biking, Skiing, Snowboarding, XC Skiing, Stand Up Paddleboarding, Rowing, Kayaking, Jumpmaster, Tactical You also get call alerts and notifications to the wrist. There's not that much screen space for reading messages but at least you won't miss anything. The Fenix 6S uses the same Elevate sensor found on Garmin’s watches – and predictably, came out with the same results.

The Garmin Fenix 6 introduces PacePro, an advanced race strategy feature which guides your speed based on your training and the route, invaluable to help you keep hitting those PB’s. The Fenix 6 series comes with the PulseOx feature as standard and now uses the weather app on your phone to give even more accurate VO2 max readings. Other benefits include an enhanced wrist heart rate sensor and built-in sports profiles for outdoor and wellness. Landmarks are quite neat, and you can pan/zoom using the buttons, although this is quite a faff the small screen means that by the time you've zoomed out to see something (anything) useful, it's too small to work with. In regular smartwatch mode, Garmin claims you should get 14 days of use out of the Fenix 6 before it needs a recharge. If using GPS continuously, that plummets down to 36 hours, or 72 hours when set to max battery GPS mode. Garmin’s decision not to include that data in the watch is bizarre: we’d have loved to know how much extra time we’d gained, even if it was only a few hours. Without that information, spending extra for solar charging feels like a waste of money. VerdictThe Garmin Fenix 6 comes in multiple flavors and price points, so we'll just break them down here first.
