SPORTS APPS
Use preloaded activity profiles for trail and track running, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing and more.

BACKCOUNTRY SKI
Stay informed when you’re in the snow. This preloaded profile can distinguish between skiing and climbing. It automatically shows metrics specific to either ascent or descent.

XC SKI DYNAMICS
When paired with the HRM-Pro™ chest strap (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise load of cross-country workouts.

MTB DYNAMICS
Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics plus specialized Grit™ and Flow™ measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.

SURF-READY FEATURES
Get ready to catch some waves. fēnix 6X Pro and Sapphire works with Surfline Sessions™, which creates a video of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline camera, so you can watch them later and see how you did.

ANIMATED WORKOUTS
This watch features easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts you can view on the watch screen. Choose from preloaded animated workouts, or download more from Garmin Connect™ online community.

POWER MANAGER
View how various settings and sensors impact your watch’s battery life, so you can make battery-extending changes on the fly.

WRIST-BASED HEART RATE
The watch constantly samples your heart rate1 and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities.

BODY BATTERY™ ENERGY MONITOR
Optimize your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

ADVANCED SLEEP MONITORING
Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages as well as Pulse Ox2 and respiration data. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your sleep score and other insights.

HYDRATION TRACKING
Log daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. When auto goal is enabled, you’ll even see estimated sweat loss after an activity and your goal will adjust accordingly.

PERFORMANCE METRICS
View advanced training metrics that include running dynamics, heat- and altitude-adjusted VO2 max, recovery advisor and more1.

PACEPRO TECHNOLOGY
A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.

RECOVERY TIME
After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.

DAILY WORKOUT SUGGESTIONS
For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily run and ride recommendations based on your current training load and training status.

GOLF COURSES
Access full-color CourseView maps for more than 41,000 golf courses around the world, and get button targeting and the PlaysLike Distance feature.

BATTERY LIFE
Internal, rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 21 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, 15 hours in GPS mode with music and up to 80 days in battery saver mode.
You reach new heights. Your watch goes with you.

CLIMBPRO FEATURE
Use ClimbPro ascent planner on downloaded courses to see real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and elevation gain.

MULTI-GNSS SUPPORT
Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.

ABC SENSORS
Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and three-axis electronic compass.

PULSE OX SENSOR
For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox2 sensor uses light beams at your wrist to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

ACCLIMATION
This widget shows your current elevation, acclimated elevation and correlated Pulse Ox2, heart rate1 and respiration rate, so you can see how you’re holding up to the current elevation.

RESPIRATION TRACKING
See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities.

EXPEDITION MODE
Trek far and wide between recharges. Expedition mode, an ultralow-powered GPS reference, lasts for weeks.
