The world is yours to explore. Navigation sensors help you find your way back. 

No matter where you go, text messages and alerts3 will always be able to find you. 

No more fumbling for cash. Just use your watch to pay on the go. 

Stretch battery life to the limit — go up to 9 days between charges in smartwatch mode. 

QUALITY BY DESIGN

For durability in any environment, fēnix 6S is tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance. 

Push performance to a whole new level. 

SPORTS APPS

Use  preloaded activity profiles for trail and track running, swimming,  running, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing and more. 

BACKCOUNTRY SKI

Stay  informed when you’re in the snow. This preloaded profile can  distinguish between skiing and climbing. It automatically shows metrics  specific to either ascent or descent. 

XC SKI DYNAMICS

When paired with the HRM-Pro™ chest strap (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise load of cross-country workouts. 

POWER MANAGER

View how various settings and sensors impact your watch’s battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly. 

WRIST-BASED HEART RATE

The watch constantly samples your heart rate1  and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at  rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities. 

BODY BATTERY™ ENERGY MONITOR

Optimize  your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress,  sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you  may need to rest. 

ADVANCED SLEEP MONITORING

Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages as well as Pulse Ox2 and respiration data. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your sleep score and other insights. 

HYDRATION TRACKING

Log  daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. When auto goal is  enabled, you’ll even see estimated sweat loss after an activity and your  goal will adjust accordingly. 

PERFORMANCE METRICS

View advanced training metrics that include running dynamics, heat- and altitude-adjusted VO2 max, recovery advisor and more1. 

RECOVERY TIME

After  each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for  another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and  factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep. 

DAILY WORKOUT SUGGESTIONS

For  training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account,  get daily run and ride recommendations based on your current training  load and training status. 

BATTERY LIFE

Internal,  rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 9 days of battery life in  smartwatch mode, 25 hours in GPS mode and up to 34 days in battery saver  mode. 

WOMEN’S HEALTH TRACKING

Use the Garmin Connect™ app to track your menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Log symptoms, get exercise and nutrition education, and more. Even get details on your wrist with the Menstrual Cycle Tracking widget and Pregnancy Tracking app.  

You reach new heights. Your watch goes with you. 

CLIMBPRO FEATURE

Use ClimbPro  ascent planner on downloaded courses to see real-time information on  your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and  elevation gain. 

MULTI-GNSS SUPPORT

Access  multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo)  to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone. 

ABC SENSORS

Navigate  your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation  data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass. 

PULSE OX SENSOR

For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox2 sensor uses light beams at your wrist to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen. 

RESPIRATION TRACKING

See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities. 

EXPEDITION MODE

Trek far and wide between recharges. Expedition mode, an ultralow-powered GPS reference, lasts for weeks. 

You’ll feel a connection in more ways than one. 

SMART NOTIFICATIONS

Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible device. 

GARMIN PAY

Breeze through checkout lines with Garmin Pay contactless payment solution through participating providers. 

CONNECT IQ™ STORE

Download custom watch faces, add data fields, and get apps and widgets from the Connect IQ Store.
