According to our smartwatch expert
The Garmin Fenix 6S is the smallest model in the Fenix 6 series, which makes it more suitable for smaller wrists. Despite it being the smallest model, it's still a durable watch for fanatic athletes. You can store personal records, measure your VO2 max, and check out advanced training data, such as your running dynamics. The battery doesn't last as long as that of the Fenix 6, but the watch is still suitable for outdoor adventurers. When you select expedition mode, the Fenix 6S will last 20 days, even with your GPS turned on. In regular conditions, the battery lasts up to 9 days in smartwatch mode and 25 hours in GPS mode. Are you working out and is your battery almost running out? Use the Power Manager to minimize the battery use. This function shows you how your settings affect the battery life in hours, so you can adjust your settings. The 1.2-inch always-on display is just as large as that of its predecessor, the Fenix 5, while the case is smaller.
Note: a charger adapter isn't included. Do you want to charge the watch via a socket? If so, order an adapter separately.
This watch is suitable for a wrist circumference of 17 to 19cm.

Good watch, fits well on the wrist, bought due to long battery need at triathlon and it does the job very well!

The difference between the Samsung Health/Samsung Gear Sport and Garmin Connect/Fenix 6S Pro combinations is day and night. To be clear, I was happy with my Gear Sport until I knew it was night compared to all of this watch's capabilities.
If you take running (or sports) seriously, and really want to explore where you can improve, then this is a fantastic brand. Several Garmin watches also unlock different analyzes in Garmin Connect and the Fenix 6S Pro has (for me) powerful analysis capabilities that have never been seen before.
I am lyrically satisfied.
