The Fenix 6s for $349 at Kohl's with $105 in Kohls cash might be a much better deal here

There are countless comparison videos on YouTube for more in depth information on each.

The 6S is certainly a better choice.

I bought this over the 6. Main reason I bought this is it has a *sapphire* crystal, same as my 3+ year old Fenix 3HR which will be retired. The 3HR has been through multiple Tough Mudders, a few thousand miles of running, and 3-years of daily wear without any scratches on the crystal. I doubt a non-sapphire crystal would have failed as well. I don't think the 6 pro has sapphire crystal as standard. So this 5X plus was my choice.

Also, while this 5X plus is "refurbished", if it's anything like my 3HR which was also refurbished, there was nothing to tell it apart from new. Methinks the only thing the 6 gets you is an updated interface, but TBH, the interface on the 3 and 5 works fine.

I think we should be seeing MUCH lower prices on the 5x. I mean seriously, it's old. The 6s doesn't have maps?

6s does have maps AFAIK. It doesn't appear to have WiFi, though, and doesn't have the blood oxygen do-dad. 6s is smaller, too, if that matters. Again, the sapphire display is a really big benefit of this deal IMHO.

With how old it is and prices on the 6 now, it should be ~$250 NEW, not refurb.

The only thing about refurb are the batteries. Do they replace? Or are you getting an externally flawless watch with an 80% battery?

My previous Garmin, 405 was retired because of the battery. My current 635 will be retired within a year because of the battery. It still gets me through 3-4 days but it used to get me through nearly 2 weeks.

My watches have lasted 8 years and 6 years. If I bought a $320 watch and the battery only lasted 2-3 years I'd be upset as both my previous watches were much cheaper. ($180 for the 405 and $220 for the 635 - both on "sale").
