Specifics of Fenix u200bu200b6S / Fenix u200bu200b6 watches:

• A new design

The Fenix u200bu200b6S and Fenix u200bu200b6 watches use the same format as the previous generations (42 mm / 47 mm) but the Fenix u200bu200b6 screen is 17% larger for the same case size.
The display is thus optimized for perfect reading outdoors and in all lighting conditions.
The design of the Fenix u200bu200b6 series has been reworked with a new brushed star bezel. Thinner and higher, it accentuates the notion of "performance" while offering additional protection to the glass of the watch.
Reducing the depth of the lugs improves the integration of the strap into the general appearance of the watch and above all reduces the size of the product by a few millimeters for better fit on the wrist.
The case is designed with reinforced fibers.



In terms of resistance, the Fenix u200bu200b6 complies with the MIL-STD-810G standard which is the most demanding for equipment dedicated to the outdoors, it works in harsh environmental conditions: pressure (water resistant up to 100 meters ), altitude, rain, humidity, freezing, thawing, dust...



• A new user interface

The Fenix u200bu200b6 features a more structured look and layout of information and allows more options and information to be displayed during activities.
It is thus possible to display eight data fields while maintaining a readable screen. By reducing the number of fields, the display is larger.



• New Gen 3 Garmin Elevate™ optical wrist heart rate monitor with Puls Ox

The new generation of optical cardio on the wrist now works perfectly in water, which allows cardio data to be recorded during nautical activities.

The sensor also allows users to monitor their blood oxygen saturation, crucial for high mountain safety. For extreme athletes, this allows them to analyze and understand their ability to acclimatize at high altitude. Data can be displayed relative to elevation data.

1 - Scale in % oxygen saturation
2 - Graph of oxygen saturation over the last 24 hours
3 - Oxygen level at the last dose
4 - Altitude scale in meters
5 - Altitude graph for the last 24 hours
