Just picked up one of these from JB Hifi by price matching. Recently as low as $1200 on Amazon (has apparently been as low as late $900’s) and suspect might be lower with BFCM coming up, but a great deal for someone who needs it now.

FWIW, I own a Garmin 6X Sapphire which can be had regularly for under $700.
Comparing the 6X Sapphire vs 6X Solar
Battery (GPS and Music)
6X Sapphire: Up to 15 hours
6X Solar: Up to 15 hours / 16 hours with solar
=7% improvementBattery (Smartwatch Mode)
6X Sapphire: Up to 21 days
6X Solar: Up to 21 days indoors / 24 days with solar
=14% improvementSo at best, you are paying $450 more for somewhere between 7-14% (aka sweet FA) more battery, and you lose the durability of sapphire glass for a watch with identical software features. Absolutely not worth it IMO.
100% agreed. Same reasoning why I purchased the Sapphire. The sapphire glass is incredibly tough, mine gets absolutely punished and still looks brand new with no scratches.
$450 saving, great battery life and a seemingly indestructible screen is definitely the way to go!
Been looking around for the 6X Sapphire for a while, any good deals at the moment or best to wait for a black Friday sale?
Not at the moment, will have to see what Black Friday brings. They were $799 at JB and $699 at Amazon on Black Friday last year.
I'll definitely keep an eye on it in the future. Really wanted to upgrade from my Forerunner 245 haha
Agree! I bought mine as part of the Garmin 50% off site wide stuff up and chose the 6x sapphire still, price difference then was only like $100 and most real life battery difference is prob actually like 1 to 5%
Yup go the fenix 6X Sapphire for the glass, and typical jb-hifi 699 sale price. Only sucks the battery if you're running an intensive gps tracking app, otherwise charge it every few weeks.
I wouldn’t buy this actually Black Friday and Cyber Monday are not far away… better wait before you regret spending way too much!
this is far from being a deal.
Why would anyone pay this much for a smartwatch? No deal
To each their own mate, this is very useful for some people
Are these only good for runners or are they reasonable at tracking swimming metrics and other workouts?
Mine tracks mountain biking and snowboarding pretty well. Never used it for swimming though.
Damn I thought Apple Watch was expensive.
