The new interface is especially to be found when it comes to the many widgets, such as Show Heart Rate, Training Status, Health Statistics, My Day, and Body Battery, which are all presented in a more organic way.

The is also now possible to show more and more nuanced information and data during an activity or navigation.

SOLAR POWER GLASS

Solar Power Glass is a new and innovative screen technology that utilizes the energy of the sun to extend the battery life of the watch.

The revolutionizing screen technology is all over the surface of the screen with its anti-reflective Corning Gorilla Glass. With half-transparent photovoltaic solar cells, the watch uses the power of the sun to extend the battery life.

The technology is so small that you do not notice it just by looking.

In its battery saver mode, the solar function can potentially extend the battery life with up to 50%.

By the help of a clever solar indicator and widget, the watch can tell you at any time how much solar power the watch is gathering.

This is true in both the smartwatch mode, GPS mode, and GPS+Music mode.

The Power Manager is a clever function that tells you how much battery life there is left in hours.

With the Power Manager, you can easily switch between different Power Modes for each activity, so that you can control how much you use of the battery in hours on your Fenix 6 watch.
