My mother introduced her dense and undercooked Ghiradelli brownies and so they had been fabulous.
And Skye discovered Brooke’s garments once more.

Let’s simply begin this overview off by saying that I’ve by no means beloved a bit of electronics as a lot as I really like the Fenix 6 PRO. I really feel like it’s simply on a totally totally different stage than any Garmin I’ve had previously and I’ve beloved all of my earlier Garmins (in addition to that touchscreen one which I had ((Forerunner 620))… yeah, didn’t like that one). It has so many bells and whistles that my statistics/numbers loving mind completely loves. It’s an excessive watch so if that isn’t your factor, in all probability skip this overview ha:
Additionally, I began with the Fenix 6 however then realized that one didn’t have the music functionality so Andrew despatched it again every week later and acquired the 6 PRO for me. I don’t race with music anymore BUT I would like the choice to if I ever need it for a observe exercise or a race the place I can use music.
Andrew acquired down on one knee to current it to me when it arrived as a result of he knew how a lot it meant to me ha.
Issues about this watch that I completely love.
*MUSIC. I don’t even actually use music that a lot anymore however I really like the choice of getting music on my watch. You’ll be able to retailer as much as 2,000 songs on this watch via Spotify and take heed to music with bluetooth headphones with out having to have your telephone with you.
*PacePRO! <— An superior method to tempo your self for exercises and races. I haven’t used it in a race as a result of I’m practising with it in exercises earlier than I exploit it in a race however I feel it will be actually useful for me to take out all the math considering after I’m racing if I’m going for a really particular time. It’s like you’ve got one of the best tempo band ever as a result of it additionally adjusts to elevation good points/losses and so forth. You’ll be able to select a course (by way of Strava) or create your individual course. You’ll be able to select what kind of pacing technique you prefer to so far as optimistic splits/even splits/detrimental splits and what your technique is for hills (ie run a bit extra conservative on the ups vs the downs). I positively need to run a bit by really feel at CIM and with the pacers however I’ve a really particular time for a course that I’ve by no means run earlier than so I need to be certain I’m as ready as attainable. For the course that you’ve got chosen you get to see the splits in your watch, the elevation plot and the map. When you’re utilizing the course (as you’re working it) the highest of the watch will present you the tempo you’re presupposed to run for the cut up, within the center it can present you the precise cut up tempo you’re working and the underside of the display screen will present you the way far off you’re from the cut up.
It should calculate the tempo that you should run all through the race so as to hit the time that you’re going for primarily based on the splits that you’ve got already accomplished to date. Tremendous cool.
Here’s what it seems to be like on my pc and it offers me my mile by mile cut up and can then give me these splits on my watch. I set it for somewhat detrimental cut up and somewhat simpler on the uphill effort.
*After I push the down button from the house display screen it exhibits me all kinds of knowledge that I in all probability don’t really want to know however I LOVE realizing—> climate, how lengthy till sundown or dawn, my present elevation, a compass, my V02 max together with race predictions, coaching standing, my steps, my coronary heart charge, my calendar, notifications and so forth.
*This watch has maps on it which is fairly cool but it surely additionally offers you routes which you could take if you enter within the distance you need to run for a round-trip. So you possibly can enter in that you just need to run 10 miles, it can then offer you a course that may go round in a circle to have you ever finish at the place you began. I feel that is an superior choice for if you find yourself touring and in search of a route or native paths which might be well-liked within the space. You should use your watch to present you turn-by-turn instructions too in case you put in a course that you just need to run.
*The battery life isn’t fairly as nice as my final watch (Garmin 935) but it surely’s unbelievable and greater than sufficient for me. Battery life: 9 days in smartwatch mode & 6 hours in GPS mode with music! I in all probability cost it 1-2 instances every week at evening. The 935 spoiled me as a result of it went as much as 24 hours of a battery life in GPS mode so I felt like I charged it 2ish instances a month!
*I really like the personalized screens that I can create… there are SO many choices you possibly can select from!
*For these of you that love coaching primarily based in your coronary heart charge, this watch offers you all the information that you should know via the wrist sensor! I don’t actually take a look at my coronary heart charge whereas I’m working anymore (generally I do throughout a straightforward run to ensure I’m going straightforward sufficient) however I really like my resting coronary heart charge at any time when I’m sitting down.
*It’s a wise watch so you may get texts in your watch. You need to be close to your telephone however I really like this feature as a result of I don’t verify my telephone fairly often when I’m sporting my watch.. it makes it so I don’t need to verify my telephone for notifications as a result of I do know when I get them.
*My watch has a ‘discover my telephone’ function which I find yourself utilizing greater than the rest hahah.
*A motive Andrew actually needed me to get this watch. The security and monitoring options. I’ve it arrange in order that if one thing occurs, I can simply maintain the facility button for five seconds after which it can ship a message to Andrew with my location!
*I actually like retaining observe of my interval and totally different signs and so forth to higher perceive how it’s effecting my working. My watch has the choice to see precisely the place I’m at on my cycle and all the things that goes together with that.
There are lots of extra issues on this watch that I don’t use… Garmin Pay, Apps like Uber, the Pulse Ox Sensor (to see how your physique is doing at absorbing oxygen), ClimbPRO function, Golf Programs and so forth however I really feel like with all the issues I do use on the watch… it’s positively value it. Joyful early Christmas to me;)
*Throughout a traditional run I’ve my watch set to see all of this data on one display screen which I really like: Common tempo (for all the run to date), Distance, Timer, Tempo (within the second) and Lap Tempo (the common of what you’re doing that lap). I can push the down button and see my coronary heart charge, lap distance and lap time too. I can push down once more and see the place I’m at on the map too! My habit to realizing each totally different stat that I might ever need to know throughout a run is proven on right here.
*I additionally simply love the ending display screen of a run the place it exhibits me all of this information together with somewhat map of the place I ran and if I am going to the following display screen of the run it exhibits me all the different particulars too like complete ascent and descent of the run, an elevation plot, coronary heart charge, cadence and so forth.
There you’ve got it! These are the issues I really like about this watch and I haven’t discovered one factor about it that I don’t love but when I do, I’ll let .
