This thread somewhat parallels another thread where I asked about how much of an improvement the Fenix 6 is over the Fenix 5. I got pretty much every possible response to my query. As I noted in the thread, the different responses may relate to different uses. I mostly would want to use the Fenix while hiking, often at altitude of 5000 feet to 14,000 feet. The Fenix may work much better for, say, jogging or biking at sea level. All of that said, I am wondering if I would be better off with the Apple 6, notwithstanding the pathetic battery life. Notably, I otherwise live in an Apple universe, Mac Air, Ipad, Iphone. I found a nice Youtube comparing the two. www.youtube.com/watch Each watch has its plusses and minuses, but it seemed to suggest the Fenix 6 was better for more rigorous outdoor activities, partly because of the more rugged build. But his comparisons were more with sporting activities like jogging and biking, not hiking or backpacking which for me would be the better comparison. The baseline Apple 6 is quite a bit cheaper than the Fenix, but one thing the Youtube noted is that the baseline Apple 6 is quite a bit more fragile than the Fenix. By the time one upgrades to the tougher Apple 6 with, say, a stainless steel case and tougher crystal, the prices are comparable. Any words of wisdom one way or the other?
