Here are major differences between the Fenix 6 versions..

First is size:

Garmin Fenix 6S: The smallest model, features a 1.2-inch screen, 42mm case size, and a 20mm band

Garmin Fenix 6: The standard model, features a 1.3-inch screen, 47mm case size, and a 22mm band

Garmin Fenix 6X: The largest model, features a 1.4-inch screen, 51mm case size, and a 26mm band



Second is the version type:

Base version: No Wi-Fi, maps, or onboard music; Gorilla Glass lens; and 64MB of storage

There is no base version of the Fenix 6X.

Pro version: Built-in Wi-Fi, maps, and music; Gorilla Glass lens, and 32GB of storage

Sapphire Pro version: All of the features of the Pro version with a stronger sapphire crystal lens

Pro Solar version: All of the features of the Pro version with a Power Glass lens, capable of solar charging
this is probably the best deal i have seen for a 6x sapphire.

The sapphire screen is worth it. I have been using 5s Sapphire and now after 2.5 years of every single day use/training , its started to shut down for no reason. Its time for me to upgrade.

Also costco has 6 Pro Solar for 380. Its not Sapphire though.
I highly recommend this watch if you want to track your fitness. I got the 6X Pro and love it.

In for one, feeling tempted by the discussion here.
Still, it is hard to believe this 2019 watch would be not-too-slow in 2023...
Going to give it a try.

I did research on getting the Fenix 6 over the last few months and ended up getting the forerunner 955 instead. Newer model, touch screen, faster response, about the same battery life, more updates. With your healthcare you can get 20% off which is real nice so $400 for a 955

Been using 5S Sapphire from last 4 years. Given a chance with price get Sapphire as it helps with glass not getting damaged in the long term.

I'm debating.. this or a 7. Found the regular 7 for $560 but not sure touch + the other features are worth the extra 160.
If you're a flashlight guy, go for the 7 Stick Out Tongue

I purchased one of these last time it was on sale, not sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this watch. The pixel density bothered me at first but then I noticed how nice it looked with backlight off and it stopped bothering me. The crystal sapphire is a huge plus especially if you plan to get rough with it at all. The non touch screen face is amazing once you get used to it and I'm a huge fan of it compared to touch screen ones. Navigating the Operating System takes a little getting used to and customizing what you have in the menus and etc. I have the PC and Phone App (android) installed and both work very well. There's a separate store app as well for watch faces and etc. The pc app always has an update every few days as well which I really like. If you are big hiker or like anything outdoors for an extended period of time then you will definitely enjoy all the navigation and map features. It also has a great breathing exercise program for stress and relaxation it'll suggest if you're wearing it and your heartrate is elevated for an extended period of time (You can also access it manually). There's also a fantastic sleep monitor which was massively helpful to me. It breaks down light and deep sleep, REM, and when you're fully awake. Battery life all depends on what types of navigation and services you have running. I have everything on usually and like to recharge every other day. I plug it into the computer to check for updates regularly, so it hasn't seemed like a hassle at all. Feel free to ask anything else. I haven't used it in any extreme conditions yet.

FYI anyone who doesn't know about crystal sapphire use in watches, it's one of the best materials that can be used for a watch face cover. Regardless of the age of any of my non smart watches the crystal sapphire stays flawless. Rolex uses it along with a lot of other luxury watch makers. Extremely scratch resistant and easy to wipe off and make it look new. The underside of a t-shirt does wonders.

The reviews are from all models of the fenix 6 and if you look, most of the reviews are for the regular version, not the pro nor the sapphire.

Correct - don't need phone for GPS.
I bought the non-sapphire 6X Pro last month ($100 less that this price). It's a great watch - highly recommend.

It does not. Garmin is standalone

I've began using my Fenix 5 plus again about 6 months ago when I broke my apple watch. They are just not durable enough and new ultra model is $800
