Overview
The Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar is a GPS watch with solar assisted charging, weighing 0.51 pounds in a black case with a slate band.
The Solar name refers to a charging lens built into the case that supplements the battery from light exposure, useful for stretching runtime on long days outdoors. At half a pound it carries a larger, rugged case than a basic activity tracker, which fits its multisport GPS focus.
- Solar charging capability
- 0.51 pound weight
- Black case
- Slate colored band
Who it's for
Runners, hikers or multisport athletes who want a rugged GPS watch with extended battery runtime. Not the choice for someone wanting the lightest possible everyday tracker.
Pros and cons
- Solar assisted battery runtime
- Rugged Fenix build quality
- GPS tracking for multisport use
- Heavier than a basic fitness tracker at 0.51 pounds
Performance notes
The solar lens tops up the battery during time spent outdoors, which matters most on long endurance days when a full recharge is not practical. At 0.51 pounds the case is noticeably heavier than a basic tracker, a tradeoff that comes with its GPS and multisport feature set.
