who is satisfied with their Fenix 6

I myself am very satisfied with my Fenix 6 pro.
Also with the heart rate (with or without chest strap) I have no problems and they are identical with the Fenix 5 or Forerunner 945.
Don't understand the problems of the other users. Also Garmin Pay works very well and it's just fun to train with this watch and evaluate the data.
I also used the function with new routes and navigation and it works well.
Since Garmin constantly corrects errors and further develops, the software is always better and honestly said, there is nothing better.
I am curious whether other users think so too.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

I have two different Garmins. I write quite honest about my disappointments:
Definitely for running, the Fenix 6 has very low gps for urban use, measuring typically short distances. Another big drawback is the useless pace. I don't know how serious a runner will use this F6 except under ideal conditions that are almost impossible in the city.
I have not yet seen a Garmin that counts the exact number of repetitions when using strength activity!
Still the Fenix 6 is not chinese garbage and is a bit strange for a $ 1,000 product.

Very satisfied with F6x Sapphire.

As a "middle aged" athlete (56) I just love all the tech, stats and I'm always amazed at what these watches can do. I started with a forerunner 305, F3hr now the F6 and have had various edges up to my 1030.

Never had any issues with any of the devices apart from a few small bugs which have always been resolved sooner or later, however I do sympathies with users that do get the occasional lemon and understand it must be pretty frustrating.

Very unsatisfied with the device. It's going back. Again. It looks great, but the data is just random numbers and useless. It's all about HR and it is doing a horrid job with it.

Wanted to love it, but now just frustrated with the data.

Love my 6pro, everything works great and is accurate and the battery life is wonderful. The GPS could be better at times, especially while track training, but mostly its ok. Its as accurate as my 5+, but not as good as my old 235...new cheaper GPS chips perhaps?

Why am I not surprised to see a certain individual posting and posting and replying constantly in this thread because he isn't getting his own way, and the Garmin CEO hasn't personally responded to his multiple threads on the same subject! Garmin have said they are working on it, let them work on it! Perhaps its not such an easy fix as you think hence the time taken? Perhaps they have different teams working on different parts of the software? Who'd have a company like that eh???

Their programming staff is mostly outsourced now, and not very responsive to inquiries. The last update about the HR was months ago, and it was a simple comment in a beta notes.

Garmin decided to cut it's own staff, save money and outsource. Things have been going downhill since. This is what happens when nothing matters but the bottom line or bonuses of the higher ups.

We all like Garmin's products, or we wouldn't even be here. But, a lot of us are not going to blindly ignore the problems of a $1000 watch.

It's very interesting that as soon as anyone posts a thread about positive feedback or asking about positive experience the thread is spammed from people who disagree and full of anger and disappointment.

Compare with the opposite thread https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-6-series/209659/who-is-unsatisfied-with-the-purchase-fenix-6-series-unsatisfied-customers-only-comments-this-thread-is-only-for-people-who-are-not-satisfied-with-the-purchase-of-this-device where everyone seems to respect the topic and the only comments are from those who are not satisfied.

Why can't this thread be left alone to those who enjoy their F6 and let posts be about why and positive experience?

For that the title should be changed in :

" Comments for satisfied customers only This thread is only for people who are satisfied with the purchase of this device"

Doesn't that implement that he wants an diskussion ?

Happy customer here - Fenix X Pro Solar, grey/titan - about three weeks in the use.

Or maybe others just don't face the problems you have with your watch and whch - at least it appears to me - you assume everybody else must have.
