Checking in after 3 years of continuous use in the construction industry

My Fenix 6x Sapphire has been on my wrist for three years straight. It's with me while working outside, scratching against shoring cages, slamming into handrails and doorknobs, running equipment, swimming, showers, you name it. I take it off once or twice a month to charge it.

It has never failed me for even a moment. The Sapphire lens is still immaculate, and I have absolutely beat the shit out of this thing. The DLC coating has held on for dear life, completely outperforming my wildest expectations. The battery life is still fantastic, usually over two weeks per charge. GPS accuracy and heartrate info is excellent.

The bracelet (which I got separately from Garmin) has some battle scars, which I do not mind. I buy one watch and I wear the heck out of it. I still expect to get many years of service out of this unit, no problem.

I'll check back in a few more years. 🫡

Got an awesome deal on a working Space Duel with one funny little issue. Everything is a little crooked, but I don't think it's just a yoke adjustment issue because SOME things are straight (Lines are good. Text is bad.)

Gentlemen? Ideas?
