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.

I'm wearing a Samsung 5 Pro and it's 45mm. I would go with the Fenix 6 for it has the 47mm screen. However, I plan to purchase a Runner 265 since I only use smartwatch for running and Fenix 6 or 6X is a few years old technology.

But my biggest issue is how large the bezel is on the 6 and 6x. The 6s has a very nice design but the other two just seems unnecessarily large , which made the watch seems unnecessarily huge for the small display size. I think anyone who hasn't seen one in person, should at least look up the size to see if this is something you would actually wear.

I own this watch. Have for a year or two at this point.
Yes it's big.. I'm only 5'7. If any thing, it's the depth of the watch. Doesn't matter to me, I need to see the screen easily.
The purpose of this watch is a multisport watch. If is the go to watch for triathlete. I was forced to move to this watch to track Open Water Swimming. That feature is only available in a few specific Garmin watches.
What you are paying for are advanced analytics. Meaning, processing your heart rate, GPS etc.. etc.. and determining training performance progress. providing training advice, stats etc.. This extends to sleep, nutrition etc..
I've owned half a dozen Garmin watches.. This one is awesome. I'll hold until a Fenix comes out with significantly more features.
Watches like are designed for performance activity tracking.
Also, get the Sapphire screen. It's built like a freaking brick. I take my watch off once a week to charge, then put it right back on. I've scratched a gorilla screen watch on silly stuff before (pool wall). Not this watch.. it's been through war.. screen still shines like new.
If you're wearing it throughout the day, then yes. For workouts, who cares? Weight is more of a concern for joggers if you can't find a band to accommodate your wrists.

My question is:
DLC / sapphire (heavier but scratch resistant)
OR
Titanium /Gorilla glass (lighter weight but less scratch resistant)?
Also if anyone owns the Pro Solar, does the LCD backlight light up blue like with a blue backwash? It looks like the the sapphire one lights up without a significant blue backwash. Can someone comment on that?
Referring to a Reddit video I saw:
