FENIX 6 IS NOT FOR RUNNING!

Write on the box in capital letters: FENIX 6 IS NOT FOR RUNNING!

It can be a good watch for hiking (when positioning once an hour), it can be a good watch for a bicycle (when they constantly look at the sky), but it is a terrible watch for running. GPS track is not accurate and not true (only GPS, GPS+GLONASS or GPS+GALLILOE – no matter). Accordingly, all indicators and recommendations based on GPS measurements are not true, because they are based on false data.

And I understand that this is all because of the new chip from Sony.

Ok, I solved the problem with a false heart rate by buying HRM-Run! Ok, I solved the problem with false sleep (which I manually fix every morning). But I can not do anything with the recording curve of the GPS track: during the run I FLY from one sides of the six-lane highway to its other side. Accordingly, my pace is false and everything else!

Some advise turning the clock 90 degrees - to always look at the sky and see more satellites, some advise not to move your hand, but these are terrible tips!

How can elite (and expensive) sports watches be so stupid and not cope with their basic functions?

I think that Garmin engineers should recognize the real problem and propose an alternative mode for those who want to have an accurate GPS track and ready for a loss of charge: “recording mode with a frequency of twice a second” or “increased power mode for the antenna”, but what we have now is a complete disaster!

Once again: now Phoenix 6 is not for running!
