Things that are great:
- Accurate GPS
- Fantastic Garmin data analysis of your workout / exercise
- Ongoing fitness tracking and stats (daily steps, sleep, VO2 Max, TONS of other stuff)
- Durable. Super durable.
- While it isn't a showpiece, it does make a statement - I love the look and it gets tons of compliments (well, I don't have the 5 Plus, but same with both my 5X and 6X).
- Maps, while not perfect, is very handy
- Music onboard makes it super easy to grab some headphones and go run - quick and easy.
- Garmin Pay is great, especially in the COVID era where you don't want to touch anything you don't have too.
Not as good:
- It's fairly heavy. I got used to it very quickly and can't tell the difference. Run marathons with it and no issues at all, but it has more heft than your Timex.
- Maps isn't perfect. Very accurate, but small on that screen and use with buttons can be clunky. That said, if you are in a bind, they work plenty well to get you home safely. No wifi or data needed, just the GPS signal available anywhere outside.
- It is not an Apple Watch. It is a fitness watch. It will give you notifications, but its focus is fitness, not flashy graphics.
I've owned a bunch of Garmins: 305, 620, 645M, 5X, and now 6X. All have been rock solid and reliable. I've only replaced them becuase I'm a gadget junkie and an OCD runner. The 5 Plus is really the sweet spot with some critical features added (music, maps) and only missing a few that aren't a big deal. Thumbs up from me.

The battery on my 5S Plus last at least 6 days; It will have less than 10% left if I can stretch it out to 7. The key to extend the battery life is to NOT get the fancy watch face that triggers display action every second. It could reduce the battery life to 4 days when using them.
I don't have Sapphire glass on my watch, but it's still scratch-free after 1.5 years. I imagine Sapphire works even better.
$399 is a great deal.

I'd get the 6 for 450.
but the big ones are music support and Garmin Pay. For me, the music would definitely be worth it. I love being able to listen to Spotify when I run without my phone. But if you don't care about that, then you're probably better off sticking with your 5X.
I keep reading it's bulky and heavy. I've had it since release and it's never felt bulky or heavy. How small are you guys?
