GARMIN FENIX 6X PRO SAPPHIRE (why I chose this over Apple Watch 6 & COROS apex)
Спорт
I absolutely love this watch. Here’s why plus why I chose this one over both my COROS apex and Apple Watch 6.
This isn’t the in-depth review but a quick one explaining why I love this one so much.
Enjoy.

With you on this. I ditched my Apple watch for a Fenix 6 and never looked back.
Thanks for the video, made up my mind thanks to you. Ordering the Garmin right now.

It's a brilliant watch glad you like it. The Garmin app works brilliantly with it. I do though find it easier to make a route on Strava which automatically uploads it to the Garmin app if set up to do so. The Pace pro is also really easy to set up. I like that you are also able to add food stops/aid stations onto the route if doing a long distance event. Uploading GPX files is straight forward too. My girlfriend has a Woop devise but we both think that the Garmin gives better sleep and body battery info. I never take it off

Thanks Jordy, love it too. Some great new workout features on it now, with the update. I need to do another follow up video - it’s deserves it
Looks like a great watch in ever respect. I’ve had my Garmin 230 for around 6 years and it has been through some crazy stuff with me. It took a massive battering on a ‘Wolf Run’ a few years back which out a couple of scratched on the face but it’s still going strong. Had to change the strap about a year ago, everything else still works like the day I got it. Love some of the features of the Fénix it’s a whole new league to mine, if it’s as reliable you’re onto a winner!

Great review, James and agree the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Sapphire is the benchmark for GPS watches. I'm also a big fan of the Garmin ecosystem (apps, website, widgets). And Garmin introduced an ultra mode that is separate from their trail running mode that has some sweet new features. Only concern I had was accuracy, which is the reason I changed to the 945. I will take another look at the Fenix 7 whenever that's available.

Glad to hear your thoughts on this watch. I did have my eyes on the 6X Pro Solar Edition, but literally just realized in watching your review that the solar only adds 6 hours of battery life in GPS mode (on top of the 60 that the non-solar version has) but costs $250 more! For some reason I was thinking the difference was greater, so I think I've just decided on the 6X Pro. Glad I watched the video! Well done!

Hi, the time has just come to look for a new Garmin. I have an offer of 6 Sapphire vs. 6X Sapphire only 45 $ difference. Can you please tell me the circumference of your wrist. I'm afraid the 6X might be too big. I am currently using the Instinct with a 45mm bezel. Regards from Norway.
One thing I noticed it seems hard for folks to say is the Fenix watches have that substantial look of power, masculinity. If you’re a runner , Forerunner all day. I tried a lot of these and I just returned a Venu 2 Plus. The Venu has a speaker and mic, which I really wanted, but it LOOKED so small and girlie on my wrist. Apple watches can barely get away with that look bcuz it’s a square. If you’re gonna spend over 400 on a watch anyways, may as well get one that LOOKS the part as well. There’s tricks and sales you can use to get the 6x . No tricks yet for that Fenix 7x monster or the Epix, so I think I’ll land with my 6x
You are definitely an influencer in the best sense of the word. WILDHORSE 7 I bought now I will see if I can afford this watch for my trail runs. Yep another great episode from your channel sir. Peace Peace. 🌻

I've been using the 6x sapphire for about 2 years now. Such an amazing watch. My complaints list is short. 1- original band gave me a rash and I had to switch to an aftermarket band. 2- It's a beast to get setup since you have near limitless customization. 3- it would be nice if you could see your current suggested recovery from the widgets. You can see it right after an activity but it's only the recovery time for that activity. When you have a good week a d you pushing hard that load compounds off of the load from other workouts and activities being able to see that deficit would be nice.

I did as well. Once I downloaded WorkOutDoors, for the Apple Watch, it became very clear which made more sense for me. I felt the Garmin had this rich feature set that the Apple Watch lacked, but then for $6 that completely changed. I like the Garmin form factor more, but the integration with the Apple ecosystem and the LTE, just makes it a more helpful device. And now that I have found WorkOutDoors, the Garmin feels like it just has too many hurdles to clear before it can really compete. Aside from the charging of course. However, I really can’t find a reason to complain about that. The battery life is short, but an hour on the charger and it’s full. It’s just not that big of a deal.
