Only silver model is available at this price. It's probably the cheapest I have seen so far.
Combine with cashrewards and first time buyer coupon ($20) to make it even cheaper, I guess?
$20 off for the referee ($99 minimum spend), and $20 credit for the referrer.
This. It can be had for $759.08 here with 20% off (ends tonight): https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Garmin-Fenix-6-Silver-with-Black…
This is the official Garmin link if it helps. Original price is $949 and is the standard Fenix 6 variant as mentioned by @RohanWoods. https://buy.garmin.com/en-AU/AU/p/641449/pn/010-02158-00
With the speed of development of smart watches at the moment l, this will all but be obsolete in 18 months….a big investment for such a short life cycle.
In Garmin's defence, they have strong support for their smartwatches and are made to last. I still have my fenix 3 that continues to get updates and still going strong after good 4 years of often reckless use.
Fenix range is aimed at a specific market (triathletes, climbers etc.) where battery life and extensive training stats trump other 'smart' features hence the price tag I guess.

Impressive that its still being supported. Has the battery life diminished much?
It used to last me about 2 weeks, now I charge it once a week with around 25% battery remaining. Can't complain really
I’ve heard their software support really sucks though.
Not the cheapest price, hence the neg, but it's still not worth ~$1000 unless it has at least 8GB RAM, an octa-core processor and a fancy camera, like the $1000+ phones have.
Based on my research on Garmin website, all 'Sapphire' editions of fenix 6 have music, maps and wifi by default. Which will make this a great deal.
However, the Sapphire edition do not seem to have a silver / black version so it's likely a typo in the iconic website - hard to say which way.
They don't list the part number, but the pictures and the pricing would lead me to believe that this is actually the non sapphire basic unit (No maps/music/wifi) PART NUMBER 010-02158-00 so be careful. I don't think Garmin make a silver sapphire version, only a black and titanium. (Full disclaimer I work for a competitor.)
