3rd Replacement is a Gem. Fenix 6x Pro Gorilla Glass

First let me say that of the 3, the screens have been sharp, clear.  I think the whole pink thing has something to do with batches from the facility that produces the Sapphire ones.

This watch came with 3.1 firmware (Thank God).  I"M NOT UPGRADING IT!!!!.  It's a very new serial number, much higher range, in the realm of 30k higher.

Heart Rate works:  check

SPO2:  check

Music flawless with my airpods:  check  (in fact sounds better than my AW)

Running Dynamic pod works right, and registers:  check

Everything just works!  (of course sync and weather problems, but that's all on GCM)

Apple iTunes playlists properly load onto watch:  check

GPS works well:  check

Swimming HR works well (thank god):  check

WiFi:  No problems, check

Garmin Pay:  Check, works.

I had forgotten just how miserable the updates from 4.1 on made me with the problems of my watch.   I honestly thought they had 4.1/4.2/4.3 and the sensor hub ironed out when up updated my previous watch.  Well, they didn't and I was very sorry for that.  So I returned it and now I've got a watch that feels like I got what I paid for.  no complaints on the watch now.  Just GCM monstrosity.
