JT, thanks for the Unbox. Question: As a swimmer, I've never liked the need for a chest HRM, so I don't wear them. Now that Garmin has allowed the wrist HRM to track while swimming, will it combine with all other activities in the Training Status widget? TIA when you finish your full review.

Can't wait for the Garmin 10x so I could buy the 5x.

Hello, have you had a chance to test the Fenix 6 for swim tracking accuracy - for both pool and open water swimming

Good review very easy to understand look forward to full review

Appreciate it

I had the Fenix 6X Solar and can tell you that the Solar feature is a gimmick not really adding much extra battery at all. I guess if you are out in the sun for the entire day and the dial is directly in the sun, you may get another hour or two. For that, you give up the Sapphire Glass which I don’t believe is worth the trade off. I also tried out a regular 6 Sapphire and the battery died after only 9 total hours of GPS use. My 6X Solar battery was tremendous and well worth the upgrade from the 6. I have returned the Solar and have a 6X Sapphire coming today. Hope this helps anyone thinking about the Solar model. Not worth it IMO unless you are an ultra endurance athlete where it might come in handy.

@@rodsmith4763 The model without solor?..... People on the forums mention that they take a separate rechargeable battery to charge on the go for long multi day activities.... Or use ultra track.... Pings a GPS signal once a min.... the 6 range can ping GPS signals even less.... but your GPS trace will be not so accurate as once a second recording.

I’ve read and sort of see in your vid that the lug width (lug tip distance measuring vertically on the watch) is shorter on the 6X. This helps wearability. I have 6.75” wrists and have a F3 and a 5 plus (47 mm). I would like to go back to 6X size. Can you please measure lug width on the 6X and reply? Thank you.

I have worn a Fenix 3 HR (sapphire edition) since late 2016 and want to upgrade to the Fenix 6X Pro soon. My sapphire screen is still scratch-free after almost 5 years, but I have always disliked how it mutes the screen brightness and clarity of watch face and app details. I enabled the gesture auto-on backlight feature to add some visibility help. I have seen videos with the sapphire and Corning Gorilla glass side by side and the GG always displays brighter and clearer, with the only GG display downside being a washed out blue backlight hue (where the sapphire backlight gives a truer black/white contrast). Based on display quality and visibility (not scratch-resistance), what do Series 6x Pro users say (sapphire vs GG)?

Good vid thanks

i have 3HR , does the HR sensor protrudes like on Fenix 3? Or it's flatter? I must say, sometimes i feel the protrusion on my wrist and it's not a comfy watch

I have had the 6X Pro Sapphire for two weeks now since replacing my 6X Pro Solar and and it is awesome. The battery is the main selling point in addition to the sapphire screen which I find much easier to read than the 5x screen. The text is way more clear and easier to read in both direct sunlight and indoors. The options you get to extend the battery based on what amount of activity you are doing gives you tremendous flexibility to set it for more time than virtually anyone will ever need. Such a massive difference from the Apple Watch whose battery can not get through one day for me even if I don’t do any GPS activity. I would recommend the 6X Sapphire Pro to anyone who loves the Fenix line, even if you have a 5 series, assuming you don’t mind spending the extra money. Hopes this helps everyone.

I am finally replacing my reliable Fenix 3 HR with a 6 Pro. Got it yesterday and was disappointed that it is so small. I have a small wrist at 5'7" but still felt the 6 Pro was like a woman's watch versus the chunky (manly) Fenix 3. Just ordered the 6x and should get it tomorrow. Can't wait. These watches are tanks. My Fenix 3 HR has been flawless. I use it daily (workouts, notification, GPS) since it came out. It has been amazingly reliable. Get one of these - you will love it.

I know you held both together, but with the hand movement, and both watches having different faces, it was a bit hard to tell. Thanks.

@@christianlalisan1530 I thought the 6x was going to look too big but it actually looks pretty good. I decided to get it because I like the wider strap. Seems to spread the load out on my wrist so I can wear it a bit tighter during activities and it feels more comfortable. Extra battery life is nice too but probably not really necessary as i'm sure the 6 battery is good enough. Be lucky to get through a 1.5 hour run while streaming music on my gear before the battery died.

I actually think 5X Plus looks more rugged and sturdy than the 6X. Also, the 5X bezel looks darker than the 6X bezel. It looks more like 5. Not really sold yet. That's just my take.
