Where can I query the memory status of the Fenix 6 Pro?
How much memory is occupied and how much is still free.

If you connect it to a computer you can see it in Windows Explorer. Select your device in Windows Explorer, right-click on "Primary" and choose "Properties". You can also enable the view for column "Free…

Probably because your watch is a Fenix 6 Solar, not a Fenix 6 PRO solar.

I only got my Fenix 6 Pro yesterday.
I only updated the maps and updated the firmware via Garmin Express.
According to the Garmin IQ app, I now have 14.86 MB of free space.
Is it normal if you haven't installed anything else?
How much total memory does the Fenix 6 Pro have?

~14-15Mb seems ok. I have 13,7Mb free for IQ-apps with some IQ-stuff installed.
Total storage is 32Gb. I don't think you see all free memory in the IQ App, only what's available for apps/faces/widgets.
There is more available for music and maps, I think you can see that in Garmin Express PC/Mac app.

Note that you always have to keep a free slot for IQ Staff in order to update these apps. If you don't leave a free slot, updates will fail.

Thank you all for the answers.
Then the 14 MB free space is correct.

14MB free seems very low on the Pro. I have ~20GB free and it is fully updated.

Does the Garmin IQ app say that you still have 20 GB of free space?

0 AndersB over 4 years ago in reply to Skyliner

No, Connect IQ shows 14,63 MB available for watch faces, apps, data fields etc. But there is ~20 GB free on the device (in total).
