Product Information

At the end of each workout, you'll be able to see how your time was split between different heart rate zones (Image credit: TechRadar) Battery life The Fenix does give you a couple of additional battery modes that you won't find on the 945 that is designed for those big adventures. You should get 14 days' use out of the standard Garmin Fenix 6 in smartwatch mode before it needs recharging, but using the watch's GPS will drain the battery faster (Image credit: TechRadar) Elsewhere, both work with Android and iPhones via Garmin's Connect companion app. There's also support for Garmin's Connect IQ Store, which is available as a separate phone app. Activating thirdparty apps allowed data to be passed from the watch to apps I already had like the iPhone health data function and STRAVA, and also allowed the watch to get data from my Outlook diary for reminders.

The Sapphire editions have tough sapphire crystal lenses rather than regular toughened glass, making them more resistant to scratches. With a range of changeable strap styles, three case sizes and several screen options there is something to suit all wrists. Add to this the seemingly endless options for customising the watch face and you can really make the watch yours. The Forerunner 945 is undeniably more sporty than the Fenix. From the silicone strap to the polymer body, it's a good fit for activities like running and swimming or if you have slim wrists.Watches in the Fenix 7 line can also display a visual race pace predictor, which estimates your time for a 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon based on your current fitness, complete with a line graph showing how that prediction has changed as a result of your recent training. The first thing to talk about is models. There's just one version of the Forerunner 945. For the Fenix, there's a whole lot more. This also feeds into the vast array of advanced training insights and analysis on offer on the 945 and the Fenix 6. While it's not the perfect mapping and navigation experience by any means, it's certainly still a cut above its rivals in terms of how it works and the features that are at your disposal.

Garmin Fenix 6 review | TechRadar

If you're going for the Fenix 6 Pro model, then you can add in up to 10 hours with GPS and Music features in use. Charging is relatively fast, too, taking less than three hours to fill the battery from completely flat. The good news is that both of these watches feature the best of Garmin's mapping and navigation features. 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.If you want a bigger battery, Garmin says the Fenix 6X will last you 21 days in smartwatch mode, or 60 hours hours in GPS mode. Move up to the Fenix 6 and expect up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, 10 hours using GPS and music, and 36 hours using GPS. So, this model matches what you get on the Forerunner 945. Yes, this sports watch comes preloaded with colour maps using Garminmap data. Is the Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire waterproof? Despite its design upgrade, the Fenix 6 doesn’t look hugely different when placed side-by-side with its predecessor, the Fenix 5 Plus. This is because the updates are rather minor.
