sorted byNo useful starter guide that I could find to set up and understand how it works, mainly learnt through trial and error.
Weather wouldn't show up, googling it seems to have been a major problem over the last few years for a lot of people
Had to set up my weights routine manually myself, process is not that clear (dumbbells are you putting in weight for each one or for both).
You can't import weight related stats from scales other than Garmin ones unless you come via other apps like myfitnesspal. If you manually enter your can't put in body fat percentage etc, just weight.
So be prepared to invest a fair bit of time to get the most out of it.
cracking watch.
The 5plus has been brilliant with not a scratch but as it’s getting older the GPS pickup signal is not the best. Keep having to go into system files to delete a file as as a workaround which I don’t want to keep doing.
However this, and the other versions of the Fenix 6 Pro, have been at, or around, this price at most retailers for most of the last couple of months so a lot of people on here have probably got one if they are going to get one.
Still a decent deal if an Argos near you still has stock. (edited)
Got a puck charger cable off Amazon but it doesn't do the data connection, which is annoying. So will need to get another official cable if the 6X one starts acting up, or rely on wifi connection as an alternative.
for example start of a race set to say 15 or 20 mins per mile so as soon as you start running it kicks in.
however I find easier to simple press the start button at least you know its on.
I have this watch its brilliant and the wrist heart rate is identical to a heart strap I've got both.
nice big screen for easy view and although big is unnoticeable even wearing at night.
I paid 499 about 2 years ago at Argos
The maps I've only used a couple of times there are easy tutorials on you tube but I find its usually not worth it.
For park runs you can save your barcode on it in widgets and easy to use.
I go for a run or bike most days and battery last from a week+ to over 2 weeks (edited)
Whichever model though, checkout Stretch+ in the app store, one of my favourite apps and plugs a gap in Garmin's built-in activities.
