Fenix 6 (Solar?) & Tactical Garmin Instinct

New "GIT".....love the colour, love the extra options (May never use them, but who cares!), even at the premium over the regular Instinct, still a great bang for the buck!

6x pro arrived Wednesday, so have a few days to play.....

What I love:

- it's a Garmin! Easy to set up and use, Garmin connect is a breeze + works pretty much the same as my 3HR and even the Instinct!
- display is very nice, with plenty of room for those many data fields
- battery life appears to be stellar......fully charged on Wednesday, so we'd evening/thurs/Friday morning I've used constant HR, 6 GPS events totalling 9 hours, 2 workouts totalling 2 hours, and at 84%, showing 17days.....so If I get 20 days on a charge, with that usage, it will be almost 3 times better than my Instinct managed and 7 times better than the 5 I had and returned due to the garbage battery life!

Anyways, so far am very pleased!

About 6 weeks into my Fenix 6x Pro and loving it.......love the customizable dials, the maps, and just general "multi-tool" approach it takes to the sheer amount of data and options.

I have settled in to a 15 day battery life, using:

• GPS 2-3 hours per day for dog walks, and hiking.
• 3-4 1 hour workouts per week
• 2-3 additional hikes per week with Mrs Maddog, with probably 3-4 more hours of GPS usage.

so more than twice the Instinct, plus all the other options - very happy!
