I had the 5x sapphire and now have the 6 sapphire DLC. I agree with J-Cam. DLC is a must if you dont like the bezel to scratch up. The software on the 6 series is infinitely better than the 5 series. You will notice major improvements in access to information and data functionality on the unit. Better battery life was another perk.

I also found that the X series does not work for my wrists. I dont have tiny wrists but found that my forearms are much larger than my wrist and it drove the watch onto my wrist bones. There, the watch would rub and cause irritation, redness and eventually rubbed the hair off my wrist bones. The 5 series only had one watch band/strap.
On the smaller 6 (not X, not S) the watch fit better. It loses 2 data fields while active and some battery life, but was on par and often better than the 5x over a week of use. It has more data fields than the 5X but I feel like my use of those is low compared to some. Depending on activity, my needs are distance, HR, time, and maybe vertical up and down. In backpacking, I sometimes use the compass and map at intersections.

Main takeaways from years of use, you should absolutely try them on before buying to ensure fit. DLC reduces most scratches. The 6 series software is superior and worth buying over the 5.

Gpscity has a refurb with Garmin warranty for $519. Refurbs good as new in my experience.

I got a 6 pro for Christmas and would highly recommend the Sapphire instead if you can afford it. I've only run with it and done cardio, but the paint is already coming off some places on the bezel from minor stuff like accidentally bumping a door frame. The Sapphire has a tougher "diamond like coating" on the bezel.

Also, the charging cord that comes with these is short and awkward, but you can buy replacement aftermarket ones on Amazon for 2 / $10 that are longer and easier to connect. DC rainmaker has a short video on them.

Caution that sold by Amazon and shipped by Amazon sent me a gray market Asian version of this watch that could not be updated with the most recent firmware in the US.

Garmin was generous about replacing the unit with a refurb but it was still a hassle I would not have expected from a first tier retailer.

I have the 6X Pro. Great fitness watch. I opted for the tempered glass screen protector and added a stainless bezel ring to the watch and it's in great shape, but if price were no object I would have gone for the sapphire version

What bezel did you get?

I recently got a Vivoactive 3. It was like 1/4 the cost. Does this cook me breakfast and get my coffee in the morning? I understand this is more for triathlons anyway. Unless I get bit by a radioactive super goldfish, I don't think I'll be doing any triathlons so long as swimming is involved. Too many bad experiences as a little kid Frown

I know what this won't do... run the 11 miles for me Coach Jeff had me do on my timed 10k prep. 🥶 Still don't see the purpose.
Why would you run 11 miles for a 10k? Bad at math?

That's what the Coach Jeff training plan said. I don't get it either.

The scratches don't really bother me. I'm pretty hard on my 5X Plus and it shows. It looks way worse than your. My GF just messing around also found that just a few daps with a black Sharpie greatly reduces the visibility of said scratches. It doesn't last long but for some reason she enjoys touching it up. Says it's like doing her nails.

If you are a data geek/freak, Garmin would be better IMHO.

If you want 99% of what the F6 has but with a lighter weight and at a slightly lower cost, check out the FR945. I ended up with the FR945 instead of the F6 because of the lower weight for running. The screen is slightly smaller, and the bezel is not metal. At the same time, there is no paint or anything to chip on the FR945. The only feature missing from the F6 is the expedition mode (mainly a battery-saving function), but you can mimic that on the FR945 via individual settings.

Regarding the screen, I've had a protector from Supershieldz (<$10 for three on Amazon) for about six months now without a problem. I learned the hard way that the Gorilla Glass on the watch isn't as scratch resistant as I expected it to be.
