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.

Anyone recommend this? I was looking into Coros as well. Anyone have a preference between the two?

I'm keeping the 6X and returning the 6 Solar. I honestly thought the 6X would be comically funny on me. It was not. The size difference is not that big especially if you are a large person.
I'm 6' 1" with just under 8 inch wrists and they both looked fine. After wearing the 6X and switching back to the 6, the 6 actually looked too small.
The color scheme on the 6X is better (carbon gray and black band) and works across a range of settings for me (from outdoor hikes to professional settings). The sapphire and DLC coating add additional peace of mind that I won't be wearing a scuffed up watch in my professional settings and that it looks great long term in general. The extra week (or more depending on usage) of battery life was also a huge plus. I love the big screen and seeing everything clearly on this compared to the 6. I also did not see a big difference in terms of lighting/contrast issues with the Sapphire compared to the Gorilla glass. They look nearly the same. So many blogs/reviews make a big deal regarding increased glossiness of the sapphire in light as well as it being dimmer in general. It really is not that big of a difference. Go for the sapphire, hands down, great readability and safe from scratches (which also affects readability of the gorilla glass long-term).
Anyways really happy with the purchase. Thanks OP!

also i love that is very big and rugged looking, a feature not a bug IMO
Playing kick ball today it got a little sweaty, and it is heavy so it started to slip.
I got the AW for 290 so I don't care which one I keep. I am far from an athlete but new baby on way and motivated to improve health. Also, I like not charging so much.

Also I have not owned one of these before. I had an instinct Solar in the past. I hated that there were no preloaded maps and I had to plan every trip.
Does this come with preloaded maps and easy to navigate to a point of interest on an impromptu trip with minimal planning? I like to be spontaneous.
That seems more like a statement than a question. But if you ARE asking us, how are we supposed to know what you would rather have?
