These elements combine to improve on the more traditional, less personalized predictions that relied solely on your current fitness level (VO2max) and general references regarding the sustainability of various intensity levels over time.

I have slightly generalised this Fenix 6 to Fenix 5 Plus comparison due to the complexity of the number of variants (further below the comparison to the Fenix 5 is also added in the detailed comparison).

But if you are on the Fenix 3 or are just itching to upgrade your 5 Plus then Q: w hat will the Fenix 6 give you over and above the current Fenix 5 Plus?
#GARMIN FENIX 5 PLUS SERIES#
I will still recommend the now mostly bug-free 5 Plus series to most people. Last year, I wholeheartedly recommended everyone to skip the Fenix 5 series and go to the more superior 5 Plus series. The detailed hardware specs and detailed comparisons are further below Garmin Fenix 6 vs Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Comparison
#GARMIN FENIX 5 PLUS PRO#
However, I can only see the 6X Pro model and the 6X Solar model being suitable for people with very specific size and battery needs – having said that you guys are probably just going to get the most expensive one…because you can. If you want maps or music or bang your screen around a lot you get the PRO and Sapphire options respectively. Everyone else gets the regular Fenix 6 whose battery life and physical size is great. The decision between models is simple.If you have small wrists you go for the small one. Screens on the larger models will NOT look better per se…just bigger with more screen real estate. The more you spend, the bigger and more durable watch you will get and the longer the battery life will be. Battery Life – 6s 25 hours GPS and 6 hours GPS+Music and 60 UltraTrac, 6 36 hours GPS 10 hours GPS+Music 72 hours Ultratrac, 6X 60 hours GPS, 15 hours GPS+Music, 120 hours UltraTrac (+10% with Solar).Weight – 6s is 62g, 6 is 83g, 6X is 93g (individual models vary).Larger screens are the same pixel density BUT support readability with more data fields per screen – 6 on the F6 and 8 on the F6X) The 6S is the small version, 6 the medium and 6X the large and yes bigger can be better.This requires a new type of solar screen construction. Solar – You guessed it, this adds solar charging which is claimed to increase all battery life in all modes by about 10%.Pro Version Sapphire– This just adds in a more scratch-resistant Sapphire Screen over the lower model’s Gorilla Glass.
You only get the maps on the Pro version too as well as up to 4g of added weight. Pro Version – Each ‘Pro’ version has STREAMING MUSIC and to make streaming work it needs WiFi.Here are the headline differences, simplified slightly for readability Here we have the 3 new models (6s, 6, 6X) with their Base, PRO, Sapphire and SOLAR variants.
