BUT the heart rate monitor is and has been garbage. It's not the hardware itself, but the software. During an activity it often predicts what your heart rate should be rather than use the actual reading. I have had tickets with Garmin about it and there are thousands of posts on the forums about it. Of course you can buy a separate monitor (which for some reason are not overriden by the watch). I personally train too much and know my body well to care anymore (and I can check my pulse if needed myself), but if you care about your heart rate during your workouts, plan to buy a separate monitor or look elsewhere.
That said, getting over 3 weeks of battery life in expedition mode or still charging once a week with 2hrs+ of activities almost every day after 3 years makes it in my book the best watch on the planet. I have not looked into the Fenix 7 because the 6 is very similar and getting most of the software upgrades.

Chest strap has more capabilities and is generally more accurate and reliable, but the optical wrist HR was typically within a reasonable margin of error as expected.

For the screen, I was really worried about not getting the Sapphire and getting scratches. However, I have dinged this watch against many doorknobs and metal fixtures and I still don't have a scratch on the screen. I've been very happy with the durability of the screen.
I got mine about 1.5 years ago, refurbished for $350 if I remember right. It and the battery are still going strong!
So I will keep it for now and be very happy with it.
Will wait for Garmin to run some deal with trade in options for Fenix 7 .
If my watch broke today I would have a new one by the end of the week
