Is the solar version of the Garmin Fenix 6S Pro the icing on the cake in getting a few days extra battery life out of your GPS watch? We find out in this review. Scroll down for links to buy.

In the verdict at 10:07 I also recommend some less expensive watches around the £300 then the £130 mark for runners that don’t need all the Fenix features. Scroll down for links.

Transparency: As with all the gear I test on my channel, Garmin sent me this watch but they have no control over what I say in this review, and I will have to send it back afterwards! (sad face)
