I’m worried that my fenix 6x pro that is shipping in soon is going to get chipped and scratched on the bezel and screen quite easily. It will be awesome if you guys share pictures of your 6x pro or sapphire and tell me the wear and tear it has been through.
Recently got a decent scratch on my Fenix 6X Sapphire that I only bought last January. Ironically, it happened at work (I'm a RN) and not out in the field when I was mountain biking or lifting at the gym…
I thought you meant mechanically ie the glass and the innards, rather than just cosmetically as the bezel coating adds nothing to the operation of the watch. I have a F6X sapphire, its great, I use it…
well in that case get a screen and bezel protector if you are looking to resell it and don't bother with the sapphire. Every 6-12 months change the screen protector. In my case I cant be arsed to hide…
Since August 2019 I have been using a 47mm F6 Silver Titanium Pro 24/7.
Actually it has even been worn on my dominant wrist since October 2021.
Being a reporter, it has been in contact with hard filming equipment (tripod, steel sockets, cameras...) on a daily basis.
Also I have fallen many times (part of the job actually) and really I'm usually a G-Shock user because of that.
(I wear a G-Shock my left wrist and the F6 on my right mostly with the glass worn on the inside of the wrist for the display to be visible when holding my camera...)
The glass is like new. Zero scratches. Zero marks. Like new.
The bezel is scratched and dented (lightly on the edge, Titanium is softer than steel but stronger). I have bought jeweler pads to erase the light marks on it but mostly used it on the silver (non coated) titanium band. Eventually titanum's marks, I think, give more character.
(Watchface is Hardsquare by Bin8X8 and the strap is a 22mm Nick Mankey's Hook Strap and Richard Tracy's on the second picture. The hook strap is the most "forgiving" strap I got with the YellowDog Rubber Zulu.)
