The band it comes with is incredibly comfortable but I do recommend snagging some aftermarket bands or straps off AliExpress or some other Chinese direct manufacturer if you want to add a little pizzazz to it.

Just wondering if this Garmin Fenix 6x Sapphire will be 3x better. Also, if waiting for Garmin 955 or Fenix 7x is worth it.
Also can anyone else comment on navigation feasibility? Is it really that hard to use navigation in this watch. I camp quite a bit and don't want to get lost when hiking, was looking for something like this especially when phone dies….
Anywho just curious about others thoughts.
Stick with the sapphire…
As far as navigation. Last year I went on a day hike and was having it track me on the way up. On the way down I ended up on a different path and once I realized that it was very easy to see where I got off path and backtrack to the split to get in the right trail.
You can also load a predetermined trail before you hike if you want.

I went to an REI before ordering mine so I could see and feel the difference between 6 and 6x. For me, the 6x just didn't make sense. If you do a lot of activities in the winter, then the 6x would make sense to wear on top of your gloved wrist. That's another reason to like the buttons instead of touch screen.

You may want to consider the Garmin 265. It really depends on what you're going to use it for.

In the case of Solar *or* Sapphire, I agree with Ryanw209, go with the Sapphire.
For the 6X an extra 3-days of use on top of the battery rated 21-days is possible but you'll have to have 3 hours per day, for those 21-days, outside in 50,000 lux conditions, that is full 100% direct sunlight to achieve those extra days.
