It looks like your GCM is at least partially operative. On my iPhone 7+, this is what I see when I open GCM:

Sensitive content, not recommended for those under 18

Show Content

That could explain why yours works and mine does not.

Well... I'll just be patient and hope that none of my work over the past couple of days doesn't get lost in the ether.

Thanks for the feedback

Gosh! Who knew the Garmin Connect splash screen was X-Rated???

The inverted display is amazing on this watch

Soon it will be one year since the release of the Fenix 6.

How yours is coping ?

Here is a great video from Chase The Summit about his own experience:

And his second test about solar powering... As you can notice he has already scratched it...
I really enjoyed how he has adapted his tests taking the best advices from the comments.

Hello,

I always been looking for new strap and band solution for my Fenix.
Been a big fan of Nick Mankey's Hook strap until I have my band caught in some equipment and having almost lost my watch.
One of the concern with some elastic band is the Fenix 6 spring bars to pop away.

Then I have found Alex Moss's works on Etchy and on his own site. The man is specialized in Zulu straps made of leather and rubber.
He also developed a series of 3 rings Zulu straps with a placement for the HR sensor.

Since I'm very happy with my purchase I wanted to share it with you.
Alex makes custom strap and in case of doubt, he is always ready to chat.
The rubber is of very nice quality. 1,5mm thick and feels like someone as cut it from a diver suit.
No strong vanilla scent like on some Italian rubber straps but some nice subtile rubber odor.
For what I know he has designed his strap for his own uses.

The good thing with rubber is that it will not slide easily and will be catching your wrist even when worn loose.
I wear it loose and it is very confortable feeling the Fenix will not slide on the wrist.
For the testimonies I have found on various forums, it seems to outlast any silicon straps which can rot. Rubber is more resistant.
The HR sensor also works like it was working with the OEM titanium band.

Why a Zulu strap? Because in case of springbar failure, the Fenix will stay attached to my wrist. It is a very KISS (Keep It Super Simple) kind of solution.
So for people who are swimming and running it could be a nice alternative. Yellow Dog Watch Strap is the name.
Easy to clean and to forget. A very nice and unique strap ! Rugged, a confort for the wrist and peace of the mind.
For the rest you can all use a search engine to find his price and his shop. :-D

I'm still a fan of my hook strap in term of pure confort but for peace of mind, I have found that solution. Perhaps you got another ?

Pictures are from my Titanium Fenix 6 and Alex Moss own Fenix 5X (he proposes 20mm, 22mm and 26mm wide). Also notice the HR sensor "loop" which is larger that the strap.

2 weeks later...

A little update on Yellowdog Trap. It is super confortable and has the advantage of being dried in a second.
It is really a strap to wear and forget. All terrain really !!

Re: Fenix 6 (Solar?) & Tactical Garmin Instinct

Thank you very much for turning me on to this watch face. I had a few less than satisfying experiences with third party watch faces on my fenix 3 and tactix Bravo, so I had generally discounted them. I had no idea how far the Connect IQ platform in general, and the watch faces in particular, had advanced in the last couple of years.

This is a very well thought out watch face. Here it is on my 6X Pro:

View attachment 14467075

Other than a couple of very minor niggles (time format can only be 12-Hour or 24-Hour - no Military format available which means I lose the leading zero in times less than 12 hours (see Sunrise time in pic) and still have the separating colon) it is working very well. I was pleasantly surprised that many of the items can be formatted on my phone through the Connect IQ App - never knew that was possible.

So, thanks again for broadening my horizon.

What background colour do you have set on this watch face?

Hi, does the Fenix 6 titanium come with the Pro features, maps, music, and Garmin pay? Does it only come with sapphire? Or is there an actual Titanium Pro and sapphire model? Slightly confused even looking at the stats I have found. I think I missed all the best prices right before Christmas, keeping my eye out for future sales...

Yes.

Here is the rule:

Titanium means sapphire and pro
Sapphire means pro but could be steel or titanium.
Pro means it could Gorilla Glass or Sapphire.

Solar means gorilla glass (only exception with solar sapphire today is the Tactix)
Solar on fenix means titanium or steel and only gorilla on Fenix.
