Der Nachfolger der Fenix 5 ist nun da.

Die Fenix 6 macht wirklich einen extrem edlen Eindruck. Mit 600€ für das Grundmodell kostet sie genauso viel wie die Fenix 5 damals.

Allerdings gibt kann man die Fenix 6 nun mit allerlei Sachen aufrüsten. Musik, Karten, Wlan und ganz neu: Solarglas, dass die Sonne einfängt und den Akku wieder nachläd!


DC Rainmaker hat die Uhr natürlich auch schon und berichtet ausführlich!

Was ist alles neu:

-Split product line into two portions: Pro and Base. Pro has WiFi, Maps, Music, Golf Maps
– There are three sizes of watches: 42mm (Fenix 6s), 47mm (Fenix 6), 51mm (Fenix 6X)
– Adds solar charging to Fenix 6 Pro Solar: Termed “Power Glass”, this will increase battery life on sunnier days
– Adds Trendline Popularity Routing Visibility (Pro): This allows you to actually see the ‘heatmaps’ on your device
– Adds map display themes: This includes high contrast, popularity, marine, dark, and outdoor.
– Adds new widget glances concept: Basically shrinks widgets to 1/3rd the screen size, so you can see three at once
– Adds new PacePro feature: This replaces old-school paper race pace bands, creating pace targets for race based on grade/reverse splits/etc…
– Adds new Power Manager feature: Gives detailed information about the impacts/tradeoffs of features on battery life
– Adds new Power Modes feature: Allows you to create custom power/battery modes, with time remaining per activity
– Adds new MARQ Expedition ultra-long mode: For multi-week GPS activities. Basically shuts off everything except reduced rate GPS tracking
– Adds ski resort maps: These started on the MARQ series, with 2,000 ski resorts worldwide
– Adds golf maps pre-loaded: Previously you had to manually load these one by one, also, more detailed golf features
– Adds support for wrist-based swimming HR: This was teased recently on the FR945 beta updates
– Adds new ultra-low battery mode: Gets up to 80 days of battery life, but super basic watch functionality only
– Revamped ClimbPro with new coloring: Now matches the Edge 530/830 styling
– Increased data fields per page: Up to 8 fields on the 6X, and up to 6 fields on the 6S/6
– Increased screen size and reduced bezel (varies by model, but up to 36% bigger screen size on the 6X
– Reduced ‘lug to lug distance’ on Fenix 6S: This should help those with smaller wrists, more on this later
– Reduced thickness of all devices. The 6S shrunk by 10%, the 6 by 7%, and the 6X by 15%.
– Changed from MediaTek GPS chipset to Sony GPS Chipset: Like every other new Garmin 2019 device
– Battery life increased: Up to 80 days in battery saver mode for 6X, and up to 120hrs in max battery mode for 6X, all before solar (see full chart below)

Die 6x Pro Solar für läppische 950€ ist wohl nun die absolut beste Sportuhr, die man sich um den Arm schnallen kann! Brauchen tut die natürlich niemand, aber ewig werde ich wohl nicht widerstehen können!


Hat schon jemand zugeschlagen und mag sich outen und äußern?

Nur noch eine kleine Anmerkung: Ich hab die Fenix 5 ziemlich früh ziemlich nahe am UVP gekauft und bin dann echt erschrocken wie schnell der Preis in den Keller gerauscht ist (-200€ in einem Jahr)! Wer also nicht unbedingt sofort ne neue Uhr braucht sollte ein paar Monate warten.
