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'm debating.. this or a 7. Found the regular 7 for $560 but not sure touch + the other features are worth the extra 160.
Coming from a Vivoactive 3. I think I tried to touchscreen one or twice right when I got it. Buttons easy to use after a few days; just have to figure out which one to use for what
Says 15 hrs but I assume that's during continuous gps usage. I ordered and getting it on Monday.. I'll give a short review.
