I get a cheap screen protector for my non-sapphire watch. Work wonders.

Sapphire editions add the quality and durability of a scratch-resistant sapphire lens and other premium materials.
In my experience the non sapphire screens are still very good and most don't scratch them unless your plan to be very rough with them. My fenix 5 non sapphire lasted 2.5 years before I got a small scratch on screen and I have done multiple obstacle course races with it.

The Garmin watch is totally different from the Apple Watch.

It is a sports and fitness oriented model, and it is the best at that. Is it a good smart watch? Yes, it does that to.

Garmin is for folks that put a priority on tracking activities over having a smartwatch that does everything else.

I'm not am expert on this model but i would assume that Sapphire one has a Sapphire Crystal protected display versus the (Gorilla?) other one? Sapphire would be more scratch resistant than the other one.
There could be other differences as well.


EDIT: Here's a great video going through the differences between the two:

I've read so many Garmin threads lately, but before I pull the trigger on an Apple Watch again, am I really giving anything up here besides Siri reminders/texting? That's about the only thing I use my Apple Watch for (as far as "unique features").

How does music store on here, is it proprietary or can you use Amazon Music or other third party apps?

TIA, so close to taking the plunge. It's running/hiking season in the South now, and my Apple series 3 just got a cracked screen…

I don't think this watch supports Apple Music, but Spotify.

No worries, I hate Apple Music and have never tried Spotify, but that's encouraging that you're not stuck with some proprietary system (Amazon Music and Pandora are my main two). Older Garmin devices had a bad habit of reinventing the wheel…poorly

BTW, if you have never owned a Garmin before, I highly recommend you pickup a Garmin Fenix 5X Plus Sapphire for $250 refurb first before you invest this much into a watch. I have been very pleased with my 5X Plus and will be skipping the entire Fenix 6 series.

Where do I get a 5x plus refurb for 250? I'd buy that immediately. Thanks

Tempted to pull the trigger on this and return the Factory Refurb Fenix 5X Plus Sapphire I just got from GPSNation for $320. Are the improvements in the 6 pro worth the +$80 price difference (plus the Sapphire screen on the 5x) or should I stick with the refurb 5x?
