Hello ppl. As the title says, how satisfied are you with your series 6 watch (any models) in ending of 2024?
I was owned fenix 3hr, Fenix 5 standard and today have a fenix 6 sapphire. Last year I bought a forerunner 255, but his plastic body and cheap appearance, made me sell him. I bought a fenix 6 sapphire, in overall, the gps is a little bit weak than my fr 255 (im always using only gps Mode without dual band on 255 cuz the precision was good enought for me) and on fenix 6 is good, but not almost perfect if compare to 255.
The heart hate acc in rest or without any activity, is good on both watches. During exercices (running and hiking) is ok, maybe correct on 75-85% of time, but inferior than fr 255 elevate 4 gen (80-95% accuracy on my experiments) . Fenix is heavier than 255, then I always use a nylon Strap to adjust him in my whirst.
The altimeter work flawless on both watches.
And maps are a game changing because I like do hiking and is way better real maps than breadcumb navigation.
In overall, I rly like my fenix 6 sapphire 47mm, and Im very happy with him, I know I made some downgrades, but its ok for me.
I give him a final note of 85 / 100. Probably Ill keep him until 2026, than finnaly go to fenix 7 Pro series.
And you guys, how happy are you with your old friend series 6??? Or unhappy??
