I have had a fenix 6 pro since father's day after it came out (when I got it for $429). I have had it with me on 5 of the "7 summits" and many other climbs, I run and train daily. It is an absolutely amazing watch for people that train hard and often and don't want to charge their watch every 5 minutes. I am very used to the button controls and never missed a touchscreen.

BUT the heart rate monitor is and has been garbage. It's not the hardware itself, but the software. During an activity it often predicts what your heart rate should be rather than use the actual reading. I have had tickets with Garmin about it and there are thousands of posts on the forums about it. Of course you can buy a separate monitor (which for some reason are not overriden by the watch). I personally train too much and know my body well to care anymore (and I can check my pulse if needed myself), but if you care about your heart rate during your workouts, plan to buy a separate monitor or look elsewhere.

That said, getting over 3 weeks of battery life in expedition mode or still charging once a week with 2hrs+ of activities almost every day after 3 years makes it in my book the best watch on the planet. I have not looked into the Fenix 7 because the 6 is very similar and getting most of the software upgrades.
considering the price difference between the Garmin Fenix 6 and 7, I don't think the 7 offer's enough new features to justify the price difference. The Fenix 6 is still an excellent watch.
Beach camera has been in business for a long time.

They keep increasing the price by $50 every year. They can't keep this up, I lost interest in the brand due to their insanely inflated prices.

My progression has been Vivoactive 3, Forerunner 645, Forerunner 745, Fenix 6S, Forerunner 255. The GPS accuracy from the new multi-band antenna on the 255 is noticeably better than the 6S, and the heart rate seems to better reflect what I'm feeling (haven't compared it to chest strap to confirm).

The build quality gap between the Forerunner and Fenix lines is getting narrower every generation. There are definitely people who make full use of the Fenix line, but if you're one of those, you probably also want the latest and greatest sensors, so getting an older generation model doesn't make much sense to me. If it's that big a part of your life, seems like you'd just spring for a Fenix 7.

Many more people just want one killer feature like real maps, and the FR955 has that along with the latest sensors/software and a much lighter frame. Sales have semi-routinely taken it down to $450, and you can stack stuff like discounted GCs at retailers to lower it further. For those who just want crazy battery, there's the Instinct for a lot less (especially on sale).

What I mean is, can it monitor your heart rate throughout the day without having to put it into an exercise/workout routine? In other words, is it like an Apple Watch in this regard?

Yes, it continuously monitors your heart rate, no special mode required. You can have your heart rate displayed on the home screen and link your watch to the Garmin Connect app to see charts and trends by day, week or month.

Still rocking a Fenix 5 since 2017. Fantastic watch. Tempted to go for an upgrade though that Epix 2 is looking good.
