Garmin connected watches are oriented for sports use, more particularly those of the Fenix range which are covered with sensors and can be recharged using solar energy. The Garmin Fenix 6 Pro also has good arguments to spare, in particular this promotion on Cdiscount which raises its price from 599.99 euros when it was launched to 354.99 euros.
At the start, Garmin was a company specializing in GPS, a know-how that it then put to use by designing watches connected to ultra-precise geolocation. In its catalog, the Fenix range is the most famous, because it is one of the only smartwatches that recharges using solar energy. One of these premium watches, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, is currently enjoying a discount of more than 200 euros.

Like almost all connected watches from this manufacturer, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro sports a sturdy design giving a feeling of robustness. Its 47mm case is made of durable stainless steel like the bezel, and the 1.3-inch screen is protected by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The Garmin Fenix 6 Pro will be able to follow you everywhere, it fears neither shocks, nor extreme heat, nor immersion up to 100 meters deep with its 10 ATM certification.
For autonomy, the manufacturer announces a duration of 14 days in connected watch mode, 36 hours using the GPS all the time, 10 hours if you add music, and 48 days in energy saving mode. Which has the merit of placing it in the high range on this ground. As for solar charging, this Fenix 6 Pro on sale does not have it since it is the standard version. Only the Solar Edition has this capability.
