any particular screen protector?

Check out the Suoman 3-Pack for Garmin Fenix 6 on Amazon.

I own the 6X Pro and use this screen protector. Mine doesn't have a scratch and I've worn it through Spartan, Tough Mudder, etc.

Good recommendations.

I have a sapphire 6 pro and agree with the other poster that it is fantastic (but quite a bit more expensive). The 6 with a screen protector won't be as good as sapphire glass, but if it gets scratched, you can just replace it. You can probably replace 20-30 of them before you makeup the price difference. I have an older 935 and the screen looks perfect following that strategy.

Having had the 5 sapphire for a few years now and the glass still looks perfect I don't think I could go back to non sapphire again. I have raked the glass against concrete, rocks and it's still perfect, it's amazing. With that said this is a smoking deal for the 6 but your glass is gonna be scratchy scratchy

Same here. I'm still on 3HR sapphire. Lots of scruffs on the bezel but the glass is pristine. These watches are built like a tank.

My 3HR still rocking strong! Case is all beat up but the glass is still like new. My next garmin will surely have sapphire. Btw, this price is so tempting!

Damn. Picked up a forerunner 955. Tempted to get this even though the forerunner is newer, Fenix is more rugged

The 6 Sapphire is still $345 at Buydig, 329 with a text coupon. For 29 more it's probably worth it.

Exactly. I put screen protector on my 6X pro. Dropped it several times even had it ran over by car once, and the glass & the protector still look brand new although the back of the watch now looks pathetic.

Not being a member of Costco I can't see the price but from what I've read the solar doesn't give that much more help battery wise so I would I pay 20 maybe 30 more for the solar version.

From what I remember from DCRainmaker's post about the solar versions of the Fenix 6, there wasn't a tremendous amount of benefit in day to day scenarios. The Instinct Solar was a different story, though, mostly because they have larger solar panels on the watch. Save the $80 difference and go with this one.

I only see the rose gold as an option, is there another? (nevermind - figured it out)

Other than Sapphire and small design differences, is the delta worth 200 more than this deal? I can get either. Thanks.
