fenix 6s saphire bezel scratch resistant

Problem with the 6 series is that the sapphire itself has some stupid coating that is not scratch resistant. In a direct comparison with the Fenix 5 the 6 scratches easily while the 5 remains unimpressed. You might be better of with the Gorilla glass for scratches, impact resistance is probably better on the sapphire, but it will get scratched.

I wish Garmin would’ve done what Coros is doing with the glass:sapphire with DLC coating, unless it’s already done that I don’t know about. 

I have a complete different experience with saphire glass, i have banged a lot of times and no scratch at all, so that is not really my concern. do you have any opinion for the bezel? that is what i dont know, dlc coated vs non coated.

Thanks for your answer!

I can't speak to the rose colored bezel.  I have the 6 with sapphire/DLC.  I don't baby it and have worn it every day for about 9 months.  Looks brand new.

Same here - 6X Sapphire w/ DLC. After ~20 months of use, the bezel still looks brand new, not a single scratch even after whacking into doors, walls, rocks, and even asphalt multiple times.

I'm actually quite surprised, I expected at least the sharp edges on the bezel to be worn down or scratched by now. So I can honestly say it's exceeded my expectations.

I have never used a non-DLC bezel Fenix, so I can't really say how good it is or isn't, but I have doubts that it's as scratch resistant as DLC.

I’ve just had my 6s Pro Sapphire replaced after 16 months, as the DLC coating was worn on the bezel. Glass was fine. I do 2-3 activities a week outside, but never clonked it against anything. I wear mine all the time, except when charging or on occasion when I get a rash (I find loosening it by a hole prevents this in the main and doesn’t seem to affect readings). 

Replaced on warranty or just bought a new one because you didn't like the look?

Replaced on warranty as the silver underneath kept catching my eye in direct sunlight, which became annoying. 

it was the black dlc coated right?

Kudos to Garmin for replacing a watch with wear-and-tear issues for free, 4 months after the warranty ended!
