Hi,
I own the Forerunner 935, but can buy the Fenix 5X for a nice price.
I also use Stryd for pace and distance. I wear a hrm strap for running.
Are you guys still happy with you Fenix 5X? Would you buy it again?
Any known issues? GPS ok? Barometer OK?
please help me decide.
I would buy it mainly because it looks much nicer then the plastic forerunner 935.
I've just bought a regular 5 having come from a vivofit->vivoactiveHR->vivoactive 3 route. Finally got fed up waiting for a vivoactive 3 battery fix, I was getting less than a day. I'm too far into the garmin system to just change and aside from the vivoactive 3 battery issue which will undoubtedly get fixed eventually, have always been happy with the watches and other kit I've owned.
The price drop finally tempted me. Here in the UK it's less than £300 now and given that the only difference between it and the plus is the onboard music, that i don't use. Garmin Pay that I have on the vivoactive 3 but doesn't work with my bank, and onboard mapping that I can live without it's a bargain price for me.
Early days yet but I am impressed. Getting used to a non touchscreen is strange at first but I think I'm going to prefer the button approach once I remember the screen doesn't do anything. 
HR band and cadence sensors all connected straight away and work as expected. It's not even as heavy and 'big' as I'd expected after reading reviews but I guess that's subjective.
GPS and barometer all seem ok to me but as I said it's early days for me yet. It certainly i a nice looking watch iMHO.
Sorry my bad. Yes it's a regular 5 not the X.
