Features

Show What You’re Made Of – Push new limits and explore new challenges — while adding mapping, music, intelligent pace planning and more to your workouts with the fenix 6X selection of premium smartwatches

Quality By Design – fenix 6X features an always-on 1.4” display, stainless steel bezel and construction tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance.

Performance Metrics – View advanced training metrics that include running dynamics, heat- and altitude-adjusted VO2 max, recovery advisor and more

Power Manager – View how various settings and sensors impact your watch’s battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.

Sports Apps – Use preloaded activity profiles for trail running, swimming, running, biking, hiking, yoga, skiing, golfing and more.

ClimbPro Feature – Use ClimbPro ascent planner on downloaded courses to see real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and elevation gain.

Multi-GNSS Support – Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.

ABC Sensors – Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass.

Safety and Tracking Features – If you feel unsafe or if your watch senses that an incident occurred, assistance and incident detection³ features send your location to emergency contacts.

Garmin Pay Service – Breeze through checkout lines with Garmin Pay contactless payment solution through participating providers.

Smart Notifications – Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible device.

Wrist-based Heart Rate – Enhanced optical heart rate technology gauges the intensity of your fitness activities as well as heart rate variability to calculate your stress level score. It also tracks under water without a heart rate strap.

Pulse Ox Sensor – For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

Body Battery Energy Monitor – Optimise your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

Menstrual Tracking – Track period cycle details, log physical and emotional symptoms, and note regular, irregular or menopause transition cycle types to better understand your body.

Connect IQ Store – Download custom watch faces, add data fields, and get apps and widgets from the Connect IQ Store.

Expedition Mode – Trek far and wide between recharges. Expedition mode, an ultralow-powered GPS reference, lasts for weeks.

Battery – Internal, rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 9 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, 25 hours in GPS mode and up to 34 days in battery saver mode.
