Review on White Garmin Fenix 6S NFC Smart Watch by Chia Hao ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

in general, the impression is good, especially the first 3 months. I took it for a triathlon, the tasks of a triathlete are closed in general by 100%. after the next swim, the watch sat down and switched to energy saving mode, after which the 3d speed function fell off, and the watch began to auto-pause itself, thinking that I was standing still, although in fact I was moving. cured by disabling 3d speed, 2022 support sent my tracks to garmin, while 2 weeks have passed, there is still no answer. But that's not all! on the same route in the Izmailovsky forest, the watch began to show a climb of 364 meters in July against 64 meters in February - there were no tectonic shifts in Hong Kong, the height of the terrain remained the same. very strange. it is not clear what awaits me next, but so far there has been a desire to get rid of the clock, despite all the pluses and convenience due to the emerging instability of either software or hardware. Plus, the batteries are enough for 6-8 hours of classes, after that I have to charge, I train 6 times a week, I need 2 charges a week, I want to live longer. this, according to subjective sensations, happened after swimming and the dumping of the 3d speed function from the beginning of the review. Who writes about the inaccuracy of the pulse - buy a chest heart rate monitor for accuracy, who compares it with Apple Watch - this is a completely different class of device that does not need a touch screen, because on the run or on a bike or in the sea it will turn into complete hemorrhoids and the inability to control the watch. Everything in them is good, except for the glitches and jambs described above. Maybe I just got unlucky with this instance.

Pros
  • 1 garmin pay - convenient 2 connect 3rd party sensors (Polar heart rate monitor, power meters) - class 3 compact size 4 display is readable in all lighting conditions 5 the ability to quickly install on a bike and use it as a bike computer for riding on power 6 speed and quality of support responses 7 the ability to flexibly customize the displayed data during classes
Cons
  • 1 price in 2022 officially 2 quirks and glitches after 6 months of use (in comments) 3 inability to change the displayed activity data during an activity 4 weight (I would like it to be lighter), on the hand They are felt, but I would like not to be felt. there are no alternatives, the nearest ones are garmin 945 foreranner - but they are big for my wrist
