6x Pro vs 5x Plus weight?

Had a 5x Plus for awhile and the weight just got to me being a runner. I switched to the 945 but miss the ruggedness of the Fenix line. Is the 6x Plus lighter on the wrist?

This was my concern, I never had a Fenix 5 series, went to the Forerunner 935.

Theres is no Fenix 6X Plus model, well nothing listed on Garmins website.

I have since purchased (have to wait 3 weeks) a 6X pro solar (82 grams)

The 6X Pro (non solar) is 93 grams.

I wanted to keep weight down, thus going to the Solar model.

The 5X plus (Titanium is 87g rams) 96 grams.

The 5X which I had tried on, was 98 grams, and I could feel this, but only tried it on, nothing more.

I agree that the 5x plus is very noticable when running with it, there have been reports that the 6x pro fits more "snuggly" to the wrist than the 5x plus which might make the weight less of an issue, but I don't have a 6x pro myself so I can't speak from experience.
