Watched the video yesterday and used the Pace Pro on my Fenix 6X to run my first ever 15k today. Great stuff Mark, I'm hooked and I'm convinced the channel is going to just continue blowing up!
Thank you for posting this video. I started running - jogging actually - in January and got a Garmin Forerunner in March. The watch is amazing and has motivated me to do more. I’m surprised that I actually enjoy getting out for a jog. I have a 5K race coming up and wanted to use PacePro to help me get through it. Your video is very helpful in showing how to move through the various screens and settings.
Thank you 🙏🏻 for your video, it has really helped me understand the Pace Pro feature. The Garmin 6x is no doubt the best when it comes to running & I hope Garmin takes into consideration your wish of launching their next version with a cellular data plan. 👍🏻
I laughed about your comment on the Apple Watch. Mine is literally sitting on my bedside table and has been since I got the garmin. There is just no comparison in any way when it comes to its fitness features and capabilities. My wife has also switched from her Samsung watch to a garmin and loves it.
I am looking at getting a GoPro Hero 9 Black at some point in order to film vehicles that seem to keep running red lights in order to get on to the freeway disobeying traffic laws and endangering lives, recently mine and more than once.Please let me know if you've had similar experiences.I am working on using the Pro Pace Feature on the Garmin Fenix Pro 6X so I am looking forward to your video. Great job on the Wolverine Medal, I am 66 retired lower back bulging disc issues so I am using the metrics from the Fenix watch with the Garmin Running Dynamics Pad to reduce ground contact time along with other metrics.
Music. It can do that. Garmin 6X has that feature, and its without the phone. Download songs to the watch and connect your headphones to the watch. Great run.!
Mark, class video mate! I've just got the 6x Pro. Glad to see you were also at my home course, Nuclear Races for the OCRWC! 👊🏼 Absolutely love your garage setup, I used to have a 250 FE Husqvarna, but was stolen! Love the videos mate!! 👊🏼
Wow, very good and informative video, that's a pity than sometimes i don't understand what you are saying because of your strong British accent but it's my ears fault :D I didn't know this feature. I have been only one month with the watch and it's amazing how many interesting features it has. Thanks for your vid!
Awesome detail thanks. Good to see the Fenix ousting the Apple. Agree adding phone / data would be the next big jump for Garmin ... or maybe Apple make a rugged Watch. Hmmm.
Have you tried the Data Field : Readable R&T Pacer? I use it on my Vivoactive 3 so compatible with lower model watches but allows very fine split pacing.
@mark lewis, great vid.. i have a question when following a route you dont know and following the navigation.. i discovered there is above the normal symbol indicating your position.. there is also a gray pointing symbol. I believe but i am not sure thats indicating where you should be at the moment.. like a indicator.. have you observed that aswell?
Great video. Really informative. Unfortunately I don't have Pacepro on my Fenix 5xplus. So don't tell to my wife, but I need a new watch...LOL. Keep it ip bro!!
Super video. Tnx Mark! Got myself Fenix 6X Pro. Do you by any chance find the turn-by-turn unreliable pse? Sometimes I get it (actually both before and after turns on a course) but other times I get to a t-junction on a track and just silence from the watch. I have to be on the map display, or have memorized the course in order to use PacePro. Just wondered how or if you got reliable TbT so you can look at data fields while running and rely on prompts for turns. Thanks in advance if you have time to reply. Cheers, Neil
@@MarkLewisfitness thanks. I'll stop trying to find a fix then. Must think up a system to get back to map quickly from PacePro, maybe by reducing number of data screens I have
Awesome explanation. Did You try it on a bike? My fenix6xsaphire can play music without iPhone tried it with the AirPods Pro, I even think using Deezer it sounds better than with the iPhone
After searching found out pacepro is only for running outside... still big thanks have to get running in my training anyway again. Great review and inspiration
Pretty awesome video.. dog must be in awesome condition! What is his longest distance? ANyway I'm considering the Fenix.. I'm on the fence on buying a Apex premium 42mm for $300 mainly for the long battery life and small 42mm size/weight... but that pace pro feature is awesome.. I'll have to check if they have a similar feature on the Apex
Hey Mark, great video! Are you allowing fans of your youtube channel to connect with you via Garmin Connect? Would be great if you did and we can learn even more from you. I enjoy your channel and hope to see more educational videos of you (Nixon) and your Garmin watch
Mark, you mention after switching to the Garmin losing the ability to listen to music/take calls because of the lack of a cellular in the fenix device. Well a workaround of instead of carrying your phone is to upload music to the Apple Watch (take of the strap if you like) and stuff it into a pocket and listen to music off it while using your fenix to handle the workouts. Just a thought.
Jason oliver I do this. Wear my FR945 on my left wrist (chest strap also) and AWS4 on my right wrist. I actually track the workout with both watches. That way I get the detailed data on Connect, but also meet my goals on the AW, which I wear most of the day while at work. I also get to leave my phone behind and control music with the AW. Plus it’s interesting to see the GPS difference and data differences between the two watches.
Why not just load the music onto the 6X? I think al 6X's come with music functionality and sufficient memory. I've got a couple of Gb of music on mine.
Watching this video 2 years after release: You now (try to) run with an apple watch again and are not asking for a cheese sponsor since you've gone vegan. Though I don't think that you've changed your favourite movie genre to romcom yet.
I'm really impressed your dog can run such a distance.
I've never actually seen a dog slowing down and stopping, unless it's forced to, so I'm not even sure they ever run out of energy unlike humans...
Watched the video yesterday and used the Pace Pro on my Fenix 6X to run my first ever 15k today. Great stuff Mark, I'm hooked and I'm convinced the channel is going to just continue blowing up!

Love the comments on Your dog, knowing You would never leave him behind 😎
2 years to the day since you uploaded this. I've had a Garmin since march and I am going to give the PacePro feature a try
Thanks for the upload
I still use the feature all the time! Good luck with it. I really like it.
Been trying to get my head around pace pro. This is the best video iv watched to explain the features.
Just started using pace pro today for my half marathon training.. all due to to this video.. cheers mate..😊👍
Been watching Pace Pro videos. Thanks for one of the best. Great run, thanks for sharing your data and insights👍🏼

excellent video. Well explained, thank you. off to do a half marathon trail at night and this has given me lots of confidence to use this feature
Thank you for posting such a useful in-depth video. I understand pace pro now.

such a good video
in detail too
loved it
have mine ordered can't wait to break few PRs
Amazing video. Thank you so much and I love your dogs!
Your dog is amazing. What a guy.

Very helpful and even more entertaining. Thanks.
Thanks Mark, taught me something I didn’t know about my watch! I hope the cheese company got in touch! 😂
Hi Mark, great video, thanks. What breed of dog is that? Looks really like a happy and engaged runner😊
enjoyed the video. love this pace pro feature, can it be used along side the map feature if running a course?
Great video, love your Fenix 6 content! Keep up the good work
brilliant video, looking forward to trying it out at a half marathon this weekend. neggy splits im thinking. stocking up on babybel too!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very helpful. I agree, this watch is very motivating.
Thanks for the video. Clear explanations, lovely dogs. I just wish PacePro was compatible with my Forerunner 935!
Nixon is the best. He can out run you any day. He was just going slow because you kept looking at your watch. lol
Excellent. Looking forward to using this feature in a race. Any chance you'll do a PacePro in conjunction with the Up Ahead feature on the 7's video?
Have you tried the Data Field : Readable R&T Pacer? I use it on my Vivoactive 3 so compatible with lower model watches but allows very fine split pacing.
seems i cant utilise fully potential of my 6x.. currently loved Expedition mode. really helping if go jungle adventure. yet to try PacePro.
Enjoyed your video. Very informative too.
Thanks for your clear vid! Thinking about updating my Fenix 5 to an 6X. The only thing that keeps me kinda indoubt is the size of the watch 🤔
@@MarkLewisfitness Same goes up for me. Only wore a suit once 🤵👰
Great video and editing! Please keep makinh Fenix videos. By the way. Do you use a hrm strap?
thanks for the info, awesome dog.
Really useful thanks! What happens if you pause the watch say while you are eating? How does PacePro deal with that?
@mark lewis, great vid.. i have a question when following a route you dont know and following the navigation.. i discovered there is above the normal symbol indicating your position.. there is also a gray pointing symbol.

I agree - I will normally have the map display on as the primary display if I am going to be needing directions.
@@MarkLewisfitness thanks. I'll stop trying to find a fix then. Must think up a system to get back to map quickly from PacePro, maybe by reducing number of data screens I have
That’s a gorgeous course. Where is that??
Was that the footpath parallel to the M3 by Old Basing/ Mapledurwell??
Yes!
Weird question but could I ask what diameter your wrist is?
Why no world championship vid?
Does the Pace Pro function makes the watch emit a bip or play a sound/message when you're under the pace or too high for the pace ?
Awesome explanation. Did You try it on a bike? My fenix6xsaphire can play music without iPhone tried it with the AirPods Pro, I even think using Deezer it sounds better than with the iPhone
After searching found out pacepro is only for running outside... still big thanks have to get running in my training anyway again.
Great review and inspiration
Pace pro only for running? Wt about cycling?
Hello Nixon 😗
Haha! Great video mate. Humorous and informative. That dog can run my god!

Damn that pooch can run. No panting, no water... just cheese. Ok got it... cheese it is then.

@@MarkLewisfitness Why not wear the Apple watch on the other wrist, for music/phone/texts etc?

obviously thats not true, he'd never find his way home. He's useless!!! lol :-)
