Solar or Non-Solar: Solar is only available in the 6x model and includes solar panels on and around the watch face that help charge your Fenix (more later). Garmin calls this Power Glass and it’s also scratch-resistant, but not as much as the Sapphire model (it’s Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with DX Coating). I’ve had my Pro Solar for several months with 24/7 use and no scratches so far.

I use a screen protector, mainly for the fact of when I sold my instinct to upgrade to the solar there were those little annoying water residue marks on the glass and very hard to completely remove. The protector is a kind of 'flexible glass' , it is not noticeable whatsoever and I haven't noticed any degraded solar charging. Small price to pay for a bit more piece of mind on my investment
