$1 cheaper than JB-HiFi

Not sure if some people will find saving an extra $1 worth the effort of shopping at Hardly Normal but a decent deal nonetheless.

Same price at Amazon AU - credit to Maglia Nera (ETA 1-2 months)

See Garmin official website for full specs.

I like how this deal turned into Gerry Harvey educational discussion post.

      There are many different reasons some people don't seem to like HN, but this comes to mind

      Personally, I'm not a fan of a business model that seems to rely on high pressure extended warranty tactics as well as zero interest financing. Although HN aren't alone in using these techniques.

  I find my 6 pro solar not even making it a week with one charge and 5 gym visits. I don't use GPS, turned Vo2 off, don't use music. Coming from a 5x which lasted over a week easily after 3 years makes me sad.

    you clearly have an issue then… i have a fenix 6 non solar, default options on, my watch make 1 week minimum

    6X pro from the JB deal a few weeks back. I'm on day 21. Only thing I've turned off is PulseOx.

    I forgot to mention I am using Digic watch face, but that is the same watch face I was using on my 5x. How are you other guys getting so much more?

      Is it something to do with size (6 vs 5X)? I use my 6X sapphire to record my rides to work - 45 min x 10 activities with GPS is no problem, I wear it 24/7, watch will easily last more than a week with that.

        The 5x did have a slightly bigger battery, but I figured years of use of that battery + upgrading to a new more efficient processor + solar it would still be better battery life. Really the only reason I wanted an upgrade was for solar to increase battery life lol…. how the tables turned.

          @knobbs: Hey thanks for the info. I just did a product claim on my Fenix 5. I've got a store credit. With the Fenix 5 I hardly charged it even with 6 gym sessions a week. I was looking at the solar as I thought also that the battery life would be excellent. Thanks, I will steer clear of it then

  Anyone point me to the best, or a decent outdoor watch ? not interested in Gym use or riding MTB etc but mostly hiking, or white water kayaking. Often over night or two, a decent battery life without carrying more crap would be nice.

  Currently use a Suunto Ambit 3 (a day or 2s life) or a Casio Pro (10 years of life but no GPS) … not sure if there is much use in changing to be fair but open to suggestions. I use a phone and Quadlock case for other stuff (MTB & E Scooter mainly).

    Might look at the Garmin Instinct Solar. Better battery life due to more solar, but a few less features than the fenix (gps is a little more basic, and no golf IIRC, also no appstore like the fenix).
