Just a PSA for those interested, black Friday deals just started on Best Buy's website and I picked up a Fenix 5X for $299. Not the newest model out there but for that price I couldn't pass it up.niceeeeeeeeee
I hope you got the 2 year full replacement plan too.
I have had the 5x for 15mo or so and loooveee it. You will not be disappointed. Its great.

The 5x is actually my third watch off the Best Buy product replacement plan.
First, I got a Fitbit Ionic. It seemed good, but battery was just 'eh'. Then, it broke when I pressed a button while swimming in the ocean. I went back to Best Buy and the person recommended getting an Apple watch. This was terrible. The battery didn't last at all and I cracked the screen on day 3 of having it when a pedestrian caused me to crash on my bike. Watch to concrete.
I went back to Best Buy and upgraded to the 5x and still have until next summer until the warranty expires. So looking to go back at some point to get the 6x depending on how expensive the upgrade is, but am not looking forward to not having a watch for however many weeks that will take. Maybe the 5x will last forever; my only issue with it is the charger terminals seem weak.
If you got the Sapphire screen, it is the most durable screen I have ever seen on any device. A+++++

You need the 5+ models (including 5X+) for music.

Seems price cuts haven’t made it to the plus line. I’m kicking myself for not getting a backup 5+ when BCBS had them for 35% off earlier this year.
I, too, love the music feature. So much nicer having my tunes on the watch.
I have a lightly used 6X up for sale on the classifieds forum. Great deal on a mint watch.
