My Fenix 6s wasn't charging, so I contacted Garmin and they replaced it within 24 hours for free. Great service.

 Hopefully at some point I step up my game to a point that I'll use all the features and I do hope that with firmware updates the vibration and heart rate tracking become a little more consistent.

 This happens often enough to be concerning, especially considering how much I paid for the device. Another complaint I have is whilek try to use the breathing app, I constantly am missing vibrations for my breathing timer because the vibration just isn't strong enough. I'd I want to use it effectively I have to actually watch my watch face to tell me when to breath, hold breath, etc, kind of defeating the whole purpose of the exercise which is to focus on breathing. Again, this wouldn't be that concerning if I hadn't spent so much money on this

 I'd I want to use it effectively I have to actually watch my watch face to tell me when to breath, hold breath, etc, kind of defeating the whole purpose of the exercise which is to focus on breathing. Again, this wouldn't be that concerning if I hadn't spent so much money on this. When I purchased this device it was with the understanding that the premium price that I was paying was for THE smart/activity tracking experience to end all experiences. On cheaper devices these inconsistencies would be overlooked but at this price point it's unacceptable

  I do love the device even with my several concerns and don't have buyer's remorse per se, but I definitely could have opted for a cheaper device given what I need it for. Just make sure you really need this and check out their other devices before jumping on this one. Hopefully at some point I step up my game to a point that I'll use all the features and I do hope that with firmware updates the vibration and heart rate tracking become a little more consistent.

Only Buy if You Really Need All the Options

I'm loyal to Garmin because they've been loyal to me. They actually treat me like they want me as a lifelong customer.

Last year my 1.5 years old HRM Run stopped working. They sent me a new one. Sadly it stopped working after less than a year. So I contacted them again. Without any further questions they replaced it a few days later. With a HRM Pro! I didn't even have to sent the broken strap back as I had to do it last year!

Before today I only had good experiences with their customer support, but today I was helped by someone who was not willing to offer any solutions. This was on the chat function on pc.


So after that I called them to at least get one solution and luckily they gave me good deal on the forerunner 745 to replace an older watch.

I have read many stories in this subreddit about the level of customer care people have experienced with Garmin. Here is mine.  I emailed 2 days ago about an issue with my HRM-RUN.  It is starting to come apart around the sensors.  My device is 2 months out of warranty.  I am not sure what I was hoping for, maybe a discount or something l.  Today I was told that they would replace the unit with an upgrade device as the model I have is no longer in production. Needless to say I am extremely happy.

Just a shout out for great customer service.

 I really dislike carrying my phone everywhere, so this was a must. While other Garmin models also offer this feature, what made me buy the Fenix was battery life, button control (I dislike touch screens on watches) and the solid feel of the watch. Not to mention the default watch face is gorgeous. I also like the ability to customize power modes or to put it into power saving mode very quickly

Exceeded my expectations

 This was never an issue with my series 4 apple watch. Garmin engineers, you guys have got to step it up with the HR tech or HR algorithms in the software because everything else is built on the heart rate results you collect. I'd rather have less features in this watch and have the ones you do have be on point over anything extra. ESPECIALLY HR accuracy

 In short, so you don't have to read everything else I posted her, it straight up sucks when compared to the apple watch 4 or 5. This watch cannot accurately display your HR when ascending hills on a walk. On a hike, they finally got something to register. Up until the last update, it would never crack 89bpm

 I calibrate it before every ride with my Quarq meter on my tri bike and when compared to my Wahoo app which is paired to my Kickr, it's always 20-30 Watts off. It makes no sense to me because I thought it would be projecting the numbers from the Kickr. This watch sucks at data collection in that regard. I really can't emphasize that point enough

Coming from Fenix 5X & Apple Watch Series 4, I'm disappointed with heart rate accuracy.

The Garmin is just a tool which is allowing YOU to take care of YOURSELF. Any time you're grateful for the watch for giving you patience, you've also been giving yourself patience, which is awesome. It sounds like you're going through an awful time and somehow managing to stay in touch with yourself and your needs. That is so incredible and I hope you're able to hang on to it as you continue going through this. Sending love and support, friend

Wow, this is not only an incredible post, but an incredible thread.  Good for you for not only adapting to life's curveballs, but prioritizing your personal health when you have the opportunity.

And someone from Garmin needs to read this.

This post might seem silly, but I wanted to make it anyway since this is a group who will "get it."

&amp;#x200B;

Very recently, my MIL was diagnosed with Stage IV Sarcoma (cancer), and to make a very long story short, she recently experienced extremely rapid deterioration.  


With no warning, we had to leave last Tuesday morning to drive from our home in MI to her home in KY. I've been making serious gains lately, and was in the middle of a 5K training plan with an ambitious goal; I'm a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar owner; I pay a lot of attention to my body battery and stress and metrics and training.

&amp;#x200B;

And I'm here writing my post for the following reasons:

1. I'm grateful I could pause my training plan.
2. I'm grateful that my watch battery is so strong that I did not even one time have to worry about charging it. 
3. I'm grateful for the breathwork feature, which I used every single day while in KY.
4. I'm grateful that when I paused my training, Garmin was able to see my stress levels were so high that my recommended workouts were just REST REST REST.
5. I'm grateful that any time I had even a few minutes to train, I could use Garmin's workout suggestions to get some bodyweight or strength training done. And that my large number of short, 10-15 minute workouts wherever I could fit them in didn't kill the battery.
6. I'm grateful for being able to track my own hydration, my own stress, and my own sleep in ways that helped ME stay better for my own sake and my family's sake during a miserable time.

It sounds silly to say, maybe, but during some of the worst weeks of my life, this watch has felt like a friend. It's watching me / reading me; it's trying to advise me on what I need to feel better; it's flexible in showing me patience and letting me pause my training; its battery and features have made it so I did not have to worry AT ALL about the watch itself or keeping it going during a time I didn't otherwise have the energy to remember one single more thing; the battery also made it possible for me to do more than a dozen workouts while not draining the power completely so I was able to work on my own health while away from home and in a crisis.

&amp;#x200B;

I've been clinging to my own health life a life raft in the ocean right now, and my watch has made it possible.  


I realize I probably sound nuts here, but my watch has been SO comforting to me. It's just been reliable, helpful, and "there," and its advice and its input have really helped me. And for all the ways Garmin markets their watches, I just wanted to put out there that they should consider saying how good their watches are in a crisis, too -- that your watch has your back, even when things go sour around you.   


Thanks, Garmin, and thanks Garmin Fam, for giving me a place to say all this.

Not worth the premium price

I have a Fenix 6s but don't really use all it's features, I mainly just  want steps, calories, and use it for 3-4 runs a week to track progress and training effect. So I'm looking to get rid of the Fenix 6s and get a cheaper FR 200 model. It's too bad the FR55 doesn't have the running training effect stuff or I'd go with that.

 It was quicker to count big ranged motions like squats and situps, but not pull-ups, benching, or curling. Since it still let you progress along a workout without needing to hit a certain number I didn't have any issues with the lack of tracked reps. Almost forgot to mention, you can build your workout plans both on the phone app and from the website which is pretty cool and useful. Haven't really tested the watch submerged in water yet, but for what its worth there was no issues running it through the shower

 I'm really impressed with the nylon strap that came with it, glad I went with this choice! There is an additional rubber/silicone watch strap included which is neat but I'm set on the feel and toughness of the nylon strap for the foreseeable future. Since it had a decent charge right out of the box I went ahead and took it on a routine 3 mile run to see how well it recorded. It was right on point for distance traveled and was able to get the entire path synced to the phone once it was close enough. I am really impressed in the amount of insight provided from the run data, everything from pace, speed, timing, heart rate, cadence, and a slew of graphs on both the phone app and the website

I am really impressed in the amount of insight provided from the run data, everything from pace, speed, timing, heart rate, cadence, and a slew of graphs on both the phone app and the website. Also found the Pulse OX (blood/oxygen level) measuring, health stats, and V02 Max to be pretty great addition and functioning with no issues so far. Notifications, phone call management, text responses, etc is pretty much on the same level you would expect from any smart watch

Amazingly lite rugged fitness orientated smart watch
