Garmin fenix 6s sapphire lifespan

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi,

I am thinking of buying the Garmin 6s sapphire, I wonder, how many years on average would a Garmin fenix 6s sapphire last given that you dont drop it or do really stupid things with it?

I use it solely for running. How many years would the watch last before it would not work anymore?

You should be able to use the watch for 5+ years easily as long as you don't get the upgrade itch

You may need to replace the band but, as for the watch itself, you will get plenty of life

It depends and there is no set lifespan. Outside of damage, the more you charge the battery, the bigger toll it will take on the lifespan.

This.

The 6S has the smallest battery in the Fenix lineup…

I've had a fenix 3 since early 2016 and it still works just as well now as it did back then. Maybe lost a tad bit of battery life but it's held up just fine. I don't see why a fenix 6s wouldn't last, at the very least, 5+ years.
