From Manufacturer
The fenix 6 Multisport GPS Smartwatch from Garmin is designed to monitor your health, track your workouts and exercises, and enhance your daily life with practical day-to-day features. It features an always-on 1.3" color display, up to 14 days of battery life, and a rugged stainless steel construction with thermal, shock, and water-resistance. When it comes to your health, the fenix 6 features wrist-based heart rate and Pulse Ox sensors, and those statistics work in conjunction with the many fitness features of the fenix 6, giving you better insight into your overall fitness.
When you're ready to work out, the fenix 6 offers you preloaded activity profiles for many types of sports and activities, such as running, trail running, swimming, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, and more. All of these are tracked via an array of built-in sensors, helping you achieve your goals and monitor your progress. Some activities have more in-depth statistic tracking, such as running and cycling. If you like to climb, the ClimbPro feature lets you plan ascents on downloaded courses. If you like to go extreme, multi-GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS & Galileo) help to track you better in remote terrain.
When you're not actively working out, the fenix 6 provides many activity tracking functions, such as recording steps, floors climbed, distance traveled, activity intensity, stress levels, and more. Pair the fenix 6 with a compatible smartphone, and receive emails, texts, and alerts right on your wrist. When out for lunch, you can pay with the fenix 6 by utilizing the Garmin Pay contactless payment system. These are just some of the features the fenix 6 has to offer. Continue on to find out all the ways it can help you live your best life.

ABC Sensors
Use ABC sensors to navigate a hike or run. Use the altimeter for elevation data, the barometer to keep track of weather, and the 3-axis compass to keep you on course.
Safety & Tracking
If you feel unsafe or the fenix 6 detects an incident may have occurred, it can send your location to your emergency contacts.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate
An enhanced optical heart rate monitor gauges the intensity of your fitness activities, as well as heart rate variability to figure out your stress level score. It can even track your heart rate underwater without needing a strap.
Pulse Ox Sensor
It uses light beams to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen, which helps with altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring.
Body Battery Energy Monitor
Uses heart rate variability, stress, sleep, and other data to gauge when your body is ready to be active or when you might need a rest.
Hydration Tracking
With Hydration Tracking, the fenix 6 lets you log your daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. When the auto goal is enabled, fenix 6 will show you your estimated sweat loss after an activity, automatically adjusting your daily fluid intake goal accordingly.
Expedition Mode
This mode lets you trek farther by going into an ultralow-powered GPS reference that lasts for weeks.
