Where is Fenix 5X Sapphire in the manifest?

Afaik, the names of the sapphire versions of Fenix 5 aren't part of any device display name, unlike Fenix 6 sapphire variants.

However, even in the case of Fenix 6, the sapphire variants don't have separate device ids. e.g. "fenix6spro" covers 4 different variants:

"deviceId": "fenix6spro",
"displayName": "fēnix® 6S Pro / 6S Sapphire / 6S Pro Solar / 6S Pro Dual Power",

None of the Fenix 6 sapphire variants count as a separate device ID, but the display name of the corresponding device does list the sapphire variant (as in the example above)

Does the user own the Fenix 5X Sapphire? Can they install other apps which only list Fenix 5X support?

Also, according to DC Rainmaker, the Fenix 5X only comes in a Sapphire variant.

https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/03/garmin-fenix5-5s-5x-review.html

"Fenix 5S: 42mm wide, smaller wrist focused – offered in regular glass and Sapphire glass
Fenix 5: 47mm wide, baseline – offered in regular glass and Sapphire glass
Fenix 5X: 51mm wide, includes mapping – only in Sapphire glass"

So I'm pretty sure it's safe to say "Fenix 5X" = "Fenix 5X Sapphire".

Maybe it's worth filing a ticket to ask Garmin to add the sapphire variants to the display names of the corresponding Fenix 5 devices, to avoid confusion.

OK, I'm a bit confused by the question since it seems by virtue of having "fenix6xpro" in my manifest, my app includes all these in the App Store:

Note that the OP is referring to Fenix 5X Sapphire, not Fenix 6X Sapphire.

As noted above:

- Fenix 5* Sapphire variants aren’t mentioned in the device info (in compiler.json), nor in the store

- Since the Fenix 6* Sapphire variants are included in the corresponding non-Sapphire device entries, it seems likely that Fenix 5* Sapphire variants work the same way

- Fenix 5X only comes in Sapphire. So a Fenix 5X is a Fenix 5X Sapphire.

- If the other Fenix 5* Sapphire variants work the same way as the Fenix 6* Sapphire variants, then it’s reasonable to assume that “Fenix 5” refers to both Fenix 5 and Fenix 5 Sapphire, and “Fenix 5S” refers to both Fenix 5S and Fenix 5S Sapphire

- Having said that, it would be nice if Garmin would update the Fenix 5* device descriptions to avoid this confusion

TL;DR the Sapphire variants just have a different kind of glass - as far as CIQ is concerned, they’re no different than the non-Sapphire variants.

EDIT: All of that is an educated guess by me, based on available evidence.

It’s that famous Garmin attention to detail.

Thanks flowstate, makes much more since now!
