Review on 🔋 Renewed Garmin Fenix 6 Pro: Premium Multisport GPS Watch with Mapping, Music, Grade-Adjusted Pace Guidance, and Pulse Ox Sensors - Black by James Arellano

I use less than a day. I was hesitant because it will be renewed, but I saved so much money compared to new that I decided to give it a try, especially since I have 90 days if something goes wrong. I wasn't very happy with the way they packaged it. The charging cable was in the Garmin box, but the watch itself was in a plastic bag that was loosely packed in the main shipping box, which was much larger so the watch was likely to be flying around in the box. Although there is no harm. The watch looked like new, there were no scuffs or scratches anywhere. This is my first Garmin so it took me a while to figure it all out non-touchscreen. My main complaint is that it took forever to update the watch. Many watch faces and apps can't be downloaded until the latest firmware is installed, but there didn't seem to be an option to force the update anyway until it was automatically decided it was done. The automatic update was enabled, but it took about 9 hours before the watch finally gave me the option to install an update hidden in the settings. When it didn't, I was able to start adding the apps and watch faces I wanted. I wish there was a way to force the update immediately. I don't understand why this hasn't been around for so long. Another downside of mine was the emphasis on gestures. It took me a while to figure out that in order to turn on the backlight with a gesture, I had to go in and turn it on for various watch states and make sure Do Not Disturb was off. Apparently this should be the default. I'm still not sure if this is the watch for me, but so far there are a few things I like about it. I'll do a few runs and other workouts and then decide if I want to keep that instead of something else. Update multiple days with the clock. Last night I tried to use the music function while walking, but the connection with my Bluetooth headphones was so unstable that it couldn't be used. I'll try a different pair of headphones next time before photographing the star, but that was the main reason I got the Pro version instead of the standard 6. So if it doesn't work, maybe I'll return it. Another update, Bluetooth stability is definitely a watch. I used a pair of good quality BT headphones on a walk tonight, I've never had any trouble connecting to any device and they were still very patchy and even distorted at times. My guess is that the Bluetooth on this thing just can't go from your wrist to your ear, or maybe it just doesn't work with truly wireless headphones. The only features this Pro version has compared to the regular fenix 6 are music and maps and I don't expect to use maps almost all the time, maybe once a year while hunting, so I will giving a little longer for a possible update to fix the issue as I have 90 days to go back. If it doesn't get fixed I might just go back and get the Stock fenix 6, but I'm happy with everything else so far.
