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.
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.

Here's the prior thread on the health insurance discounts at garmin.com for more info.
As I said in my original post, it comes down to $559.xx, less with cashback.

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.
