Friendly warning for climbers
Upgraded from Instinct solar tactical to the Forerunner 970 two weeks ago.
Overall great watch in my opinion, all the features you need, good build and marerials, and lighter than the Fenix.
Did some indoor climbing sessions with it, and the titanium bezels scratched pretty badly (harder to see in the picture, there is also a screen protector so it's fine).
So this post is mostly a reminder for others like me, although the watch is durable, rock climbing will leave marks, guarantee.
Personally, I kinda regret climbing with it, but I wanted the stats and I will get used to the marks eventually.
Some suggestions if you want to keep it like new: bezel protector, another cover like a sweatband or a watch cover you can find online.
