Product Summary and Analysis Draft 3

According to Wee(2019), the latest Garmin Fenix 6 will be the first fitness-oriented GPS watches to implement the solar charging facility. Because of the technology is taking over, the world needed something affordable and have the ability to keep track of where you have been to and analyse your body with a long-lasting battery life. The wristwatch is part of Garmin's new Fenix series that includes advanced multisport GPS smartwatches with Power Manager for lasting battery life, the Body Battery to record and analysed your body data and the familiar PacePro technology for pace advice.

The wristwatch is constructed with Power Glass, a clear solar charging lens that prolongs its battery life up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode.  As stated by the article, the "Fenix 6X Pro Solar was manufactured with titanium or diamond-like carbon coated with titanium." The Fenix 6 collection has expanded the display size of its offering to 1.3 and 1.4 inch respectively. Aside from the hardware enhancement, the series also include new software such as the Dynamic PacePro that is proclaimed to help the user keep pace with its "grade-adjusted guidance" as the user runs a route. Users can synchronise and stockpile their beloved music playlist from their premium music service subscriptions on their wristwatch for music on the go without the need of their smartphones. Some of the unique design limited to the Fenix 6 series is that it has this Body Battery Score give an integrated score of your body's energy levels. It fetches your sleep data, heart rate data, training data and stress metrics into one software, which is known as "Body Battery". The battery life is prolonged by changing the chip set from Polar Vantage series, Coros Vertix and the Suunto 9 to the Sony GPS chip set and it drastically enhance the battery life across the Garmin Fenix 6 series.

According to Andy(2019), he compared to the previous series, Garmin Fenix 5, the Fenix 6 has a longer battery life. The pulse oximeter is now available in all of series 6 as it was only applicable to Garmin Fenix 5X Plus. Another comparable factor is that it has a wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor(HRM) while swimming, more data fields on the watch face, an enhance on the Optical Heart Rate Monitor, solar charging, body battery, diamond-like carbon coated with titanium and it has over 20 different design to choose from.

As the Garmin Fenix 6 is still a newly launched product, which was released around the month of August, the cons of it are minimum. Even though the Fenix 6 does not have many new designs compared to Fenix 5 Plus, the upgrade from the Fenix 5 plus to Fenix 6 is not much, therefore the pricing of Garmin Fenix 6 is quite hefty ranging from $599.99 USD to $1,149 USD.

Overall, I would strongly recommend the Garmin Fenix 6 series because the battery life is prolonged as a lot of user wants a product that can last for at least a whole day, it is able to analyse body data and keeping track of your body health. It is also made from a material that is strong enough to resist it from being scratched. The Garmin Fenix 6 is a great fitness watch, as the wealth of sensors and fitness apps it consists of, the insights it holds, plus the capability to evaluate in depth via Garmin Connec. As far as it is concern, the Fenix 6 series is able to connect to both Android and Iphone so there will not any problem on these aspect at all.
