I have had the Garmin Fenix 6X Sapphire for just over a month now, having previously had the instinct, 945 and the 47mm Fenix 6. Without doubt this 6X is the best one by far. As I am a cyclist, both road and mtb, and wanted a nice big clear screen, to be able to quickly read the data fields whilst going down hills/ rocky tracks. This watch not only does that with ease, but for the first time, I have finally found a watch that has the battery life to easily last through 3 full days of cycle events ( 3x 8 hour 70 mile off road sportives), within a 2 week period. If you don't subject it to that and just use it normally, ie hr and phone disconnected, it lasts 42 days! Yes I know, 42 days. It doesnt need solar or any green rings around it, if you know what I mean.. It looks rugged, the 26mm strap is excellent at holding it on your wrist (unlike the rather flimsy 22mm one on the 47mm Fenix 6). I wear this everyday, all day and would thoroughly recommend it. If you want a great looking watch for a range of sports, with an unscratchable screen,ideal weight, clearly presented data screens...this is it.
June 2022 Update
----------------------
This watch has been phenominal. The battery easily copes with 4-6 long GPS draining activities. I did a 9 hour mountain bike event with gps and it only went down by 15%. After 9 months that's pretty good. I have found many 26mm after market watch straps/ bands.
Overall this is a great watch. It is big, but I got used to it very quickly, mainly as the screen is so readable. Would thoroughly recommend.
