According to our smartwatch expert
The Garmin Fenix 6S Solar Silver 42mm is a sports watch for the smaller wrist. The Fenix 6 is the smallest variant of the Garmin line. Thanks to the solar screen, the watch charges itself when you are outside. As a result, the watch lasts up to 24 days. This is useful if you do longer outdoor expeditions. The 1.2-inch always-on screen shows you the most important information during your expedition, such as your heart rate, your steps walked, and your distance. The watch stores your personal records, measures your VO2 max, and helps you achieve your desired running pace. You can easily control your battery usage with the Power Manager function. It shows the impact of your settings on the battery life in hours. This way, you know which settings to adjust for a longer battery life.
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 19 centimeters.

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.
