Anyone knows the size for a 6x Solar's screen protector? Does it fits 5X Plus's, 945's or 935's screen protector?

So, I have a tempered glass 935 screen protector on my 6x solar (I tried it out after seening they were the same size). And have no regrets. It may have a little more reflection, but nothing serious. And…
That just sounds wrong. The crystal on my 6X Pro measures 40.5mm edge-to-edge. It's tough to get a great picture, but here's a quick and dirty pic that should give a good idea about actual screen size…
Ok, so my screen protector just turned up. It's smaller than the screen, by about 3mm all the way around. I'd ordered 33mm, so I'm guessing it's 30mm.
I can understand why they made it smaller, but it's a bit too small. You may be able to get away with a 35mm, but tbh I can't be bothered trying, as this will do me until there are screen protectors for the 6 specifically.

That is my 6x with the protector on and in full sunshine (I had just stepped out, which is why there is no solar power before it)
So, I did an extended charging test- had to make a 45 minute eastward drive, and left my watch (being cooled with the ac) on the dash to charge.. maybe a 5% ish hit (remember, this is through auto glass and no adjustments of angle while driving..). I cant complain at all with the protector
Great thanks for this. I remember reading somewhere else that someone had put on a screen protector on their Solar and from initial tests could not see any change to the solar charging....
Great.
I still have my Screen protector from a 935 unused.
Still waiting on my watch though.. 3-5 week wait for Australia!...
FYI, IQshield offers the LiQuid Shield to fit the 6X now. Comes in 6-packs, sort of a self-healing rubber. I've seen them on Vivoactive 3, 935s and 945s - they're not noticeable when installed correctly and do protect against scratches.
People report little to no reduction in solar transmission using a screen protector. While I get Garmin's response to use the watch without one, they're also not going to give you a free replacement for a scratched screen.

hi all,
I used a 935 glass protector.
but removed after a while.
to me, the milky look and more reflexion was a no go.
I'm not saying do not protect yours!. ... just do not work for me...

Happy New 2021 Year Garmin
I just purchased a brand new Fenix 6X Pro Solar.
Wondering is this still valid for this watch too please?
I even didn’t opened yet the box until I get the protector
I just would love to protect my watch of unwanted damages
Looking forward reading your thoughts.
Hi, gaijin,
There are 3 Fenix 6X Pro case sizes: 42mm, 47mm and 51mm.
What case size is your watch?
