      Heh. Some people would need wrist implants to pull this one off! ;)

    • kimba88 on 21/11/2020 - 12:12

      So not suited to little wrists? Is there a ladies version? I can't seem to find that info clearly

      • JoeJoog on 21/11/2020 - 12:21
        +3

        Hey Kimba I have relatively normal sized wrists I guess I tried on a 6 pro and 6x sapphire and it felt like a brick compared to the standard size (6x is the biggest, 6 is standard and 6s is the smallest).

        There is 6s they are even smaller and I guess more suited to ladies wrist (got my Mrs one).

        • kimba88 on 21/11/2020 - 12:37

          Thanks for clearing this up. It's a shame the 6s has a much smaller battery life and missed out on some of the features of the 6x. Looks like I'd definitely need the smallest one due to having a very petite wrist :-(

          • JoeJoog on 21/11/2020 - 12:41

            @kimba88: 6s is great realistically does everything we need

      • JaeTee on 21/11/2020 - 12:24
        +1

        The Fenix 6 comes in 3 sizes which are the 6s (42mm), 6(47mm) and 6X(51mm). Seems like only the 6X is at this price though..

        • T0ken on 21/11/2020 - 13:04

          The 6s was on sale at JB for 599 about 3 weeks ago.

          • 2023 on 22/11/2020 - 08:23

            @T0ken: 6s is still $599 direct from garmin, among many other places.
            Was shopping about for one last night.

      • fookos on 21/11/2020 - 12:50
        +1

        Pretty sure this one is 51mm diameter, which is not going to sit nicely on small/petite wrists. There could be a 6s - but I might be thinking of another product.

        Edit- got sidetracked before responding and now there are several answers already addressing this. Soz!

    Gee, I thought I got a good deal when I paid $844. They priced matched Garmin at the time $999 then they had 11% off and I bought it with 5% off gift cards.

      Yeah I’m a little bit in the same, I got a instinct solar for $488 for the 11/11.

      If you pop into the a JB store on the day the sales starts you can be refunded the difference using their 14 day price guarantee. Due to the fact that the sale starts on the Wednesday as opposed to the Friday like previous year, you are within the 14 day period. A nice little refund if you can be bothered to go back into the store.

      • angyp on 25/11/2020 - 22:35

        Thanks, I did just that and got refunded $190.11 which I was super happy about. It was a gift card because I used gift cards to pay for it. I also put my brother onto the deal. He went to a JB on Monday and bought the only one his JB had in stock at full price. Then today he went back collected his $700 refund.

            @poposhh: 11% on singles day will take it down to $257.21 and perhaps lower if you could get discounted gift cards…

  • YLD1 on 21/11/2020 - 11:33

    I love my tech and work in the IT field

    I've had countless apple watches, some fit bits and some android watches

    This watch i've had for nearly a year and by far it is the best smart watch i've ever owned or used

    Long battery
    fast notifications
    Nice looking with a big screen size
    Very tough, never had any scratches on the screen and I use this when doing heavy garden work (think excavation and laying retaining walls)

    Best thing about this watch is you know what you are getting.
    With all other smart watches you constantly are waiting for software updates and new models to enable new features

    This watch, you know where you stand and its bloody brilliant !!!

    • Plentiful3271 on 21/11/2020 - 11:38
      +3

      Agree with all of this. Garmin rocks when it comes to software updates, this watch has been constantly updated since release and it is still the flagship in their lineup so continues to get solid updates. New beta version out today even.

      I'm in one of the emergency services and wear this everyday - my watch takes an absolute beating, and yet not a scratch on that beautiful screen.

    • elektron on 21/11/2020 - 13:15

      Cons:
      - non-touch screen / buttons only
      - low-resolution screen
      - limited apps

      • YLD1 on 21/11/2020 - 13:48
        +4

        That’s very true but I see those as positives

        I’m getting a watch and don’t have to worry what else is down the line

        I don’t care if it’s touch
        I don’t care about the apps
        The low resolution is there but I’ve never looked at it and thought that it looks bad

        • Slo20 on 21/11/2020 - 18:25
          +2

          100% agree with this. This is what gives it a good battery life and it suited for slightly more serious athletes. If I wanted all those other things I’d go an Apple Watch and have to charge it daily.

      • baller on 21/11/2020 - 16:11
        +6

        You don't want touch screen when running or cycling, which is what this watch it built for

    • user957153 on 22/11/2020 - 18:35

      I'm in the same boat mate. Did you have a chance to look at what are the options?

      It doesn't bother me much, but if there is an option to get $300 back without doing anything, why not.

    • yojabbajabba on 23/11/2020 - 13:45

      Buy this watch from JB and return it unopened at Rebel with your original receipt?

  • Slut on 21/11/2020 - 12:12

    This or the Pro?

    • Marty131 on 21/11/2020 - 12:37

      How much is the Pro? Sapphire screen on this is pretty important for me. I had a Fenix 3HR which is sapphire. 2+ years and not a single scratch.

      • dan76n on 21/11/2020 - 15:54

        I have the pro and just use a glass screen protector as it's not saphire.
        The bigger benifit the saphire models have in my eyes is that the bezel is more durable than on the none saphire models.

    • yojabbajabba on 21/11/2020 - 15:23

      As below, all sapphire models include premium features (Pro).

    I am still rocking my Garmin 3HR Sapphire.
    Never looked at Apple or Fitbit watches.
    The battery life is still holding 7 days after using it for 4 years without a break!

    The great part is, I don’t really want to upgrade to the 6x because I get all “necessary” feature from my current one.

    • Marty131 on 21/11/2020 - 12:38
      +2

      I updated to this, from the same watch you have. You're not missing much other than a larger screen and MUCH snappier performance. You can rest assured holding off is not a bad idea. Although, this is a damn good price….!

    • angyp on 21/11/2020 - 14:24
      +1

      I upgraded from a fenix3 HR sapphire after about 4 1/2 years. Last year I spent 10 hours on GPS riding 300Km around the bay and the battery still had 40% left. Must admit it was a bloody good watch however when I was commuting to work every day and running a couple of times a week during lunchtime the battery wouldn't last a week. The new watch is a bit lighter and more comfortable to wear and the battery so far is even better again.

    • Maglia Nera on 21/11/2020 - 14:28

    …. Really? So popular?

  • peter05 on 21/11/2020 - 13:14
    +6

    I would strongly suggest those that haven’t seen the normal glass vs sapphire glass to check it out in person. I have used both and although I understand the merits of scratch resistance, the reflections from the sapphire are so much more intense that I personally prefer just the normal glass.

    The difference is huge in high light situations, like looking at iPad vs a kindle. The difference though is that the screens on these watches aren’t emitting light like iPad so the reflections are super obvious

    • peter05 on 21/11/2020 - 13:32
      +3

      Also wanted to add that I know for some the sapphire glass reflection is a visual thing and does convey “expensive” but I feel for a watch like this, usually function is more important

      For those that are paranoid about scratches, the bezel around the front is raised so you really need to hit it with something hard that only impacts the face to have any effect.

      I had only used the sapphire models in the past and was blown away by how clear the non sapphire ones were hence my post about it.

    • drprox on 21/11/2020 - 13:52

      I think it boils down to how serious you are about exercise, in which case they don't really compare.

      • Homr on 21/11/2020 - 13:55

        I don't use any exercise features on my current smart watch and won't be anyway. I'm just interested in this watch due to the $699 saving and is it worth upgrading from my current samsung galaxy watch.

        Edit: Just read that it is not a touch screen, so I won't be buying

        • Poolprouk on 21/11/2020 - 14:05
          +11

          Do you often consider buying something because it’s discounted even though you have no use for it? A $699 activity/fitness watch is not a smart purchase if you’re only going to use it to tell the time. Touch screen or not.

            @Poolprouk: That is why I was asking to seek advice, now that its clear there's not much advantage over my current samsung galaxy watch, I won't be purchasing it.

      I've tried it it's not super accurate on rep count but close. It correctly labeled barbell and row, I find it mostly useful to check reps and as a timer inbetween sets. But you can edit sets later and rename etc when reviewing

        Then hold middle left to change which thing your watch controls via music providers.

        On board Spotify.

        Control music that's playing via your phone.

          For me in hindsight it's a no brainer. I've had a Fenix 3 sapphire for over 4 years. It's been a superb watch, long battery life, really tough, comfortable, quick charge, extensive metrics especially on the PC.
          In June I bought a Fossil Gen 5, nice watch, lots of functions, okish battery life once you turned off certain functions, but and a big but for me.
          Accidental screen activations
          Turning off when doing push ups as the button dug into your wrist
          Battery life 2 days vs 13 days
          Metrics a pale shadow of the garmin ones
          Slower gps lock
          Apps not as fitness focused
          Not remotely as hard wearing,already got scratches, this means I can't use it when firefighting or gardening or any activity where I might hit it
          There is a real fenix community, I've lost count of the number of times fellow fenix users have randomly spoken to me and exchanged tips etc
          Fenix has great quick release straps, cheap at Oz straps
          The tiny screen on the Fossil was novel to begin with but can't say it did my eyes any good and ended up using the phone
          The screen in bright sunlight on the Fossil is unusable whereas the fenix is always readable
          Connect external sensors such as rowers, ergs etc using Bluetooth or ANT+

          Now I haven't used the Fossil since September and I'll be selling it and have gone back to the fenix as my daily wear.

          On the fence whether to get the Fenix 6x as the 3 is still so capable. Pay and music would be the biggest upgrades but not essential.

          You can't compare a Samsung or Apple smartwatch to the Fenix, 2 different animals and purposes. Compare instead to Polar Grit or Suunto 9 or Coros Vertix. The 1st 2 are smartwatches with fitness functionality whereas the others are fitness watches with smartwatch functionality.

          The value will come down to what you use it for and what functions you value the most. For me long battery life, toughness and fitness tracking are 1.2.3

    How does the $800 off any iPhone on the $99/month plan work? I don't want a discount, as it's a salary sacrifice thing (I can expense it, then have them take it out of my pay), but if they do it like the gift card deals then the full amount will be paid.

      the receipt shows the full-price of the item and GC appears like another EFTPOS transaction on the receipt.
