Fr945 or Fenix 6s pro

Hello people,

I'm about to get one of the named watches but cant decide.

I use them for MTB, Running and weight training. 

First of all i like the longer battery time of the Fr945 but i'm afraid it's to big since i dont have the biggest wrist. 

At the moment i own an Vivoactive3 and tested an huawei gt2. The GT2 is kind of the maximum size i'd like to wear.

On ther other hand the fenix 6s pro looks better, is smaller, but has shorter battery time... 

I realy need some decision guidance Sweat smile

    I am a happy owner of an FR945. I also owned a Fenix 6S for two weeks, so I know both devices quite well.

    Although the Fenix 6S is slightly smaller, it weighs ~10 grams more, and this weight plus is mainly concentrated in the watch body, which makes the watch less balanced on the wrist compared to the FR945. It is not something you cannot get used to or live with, but it's a quite noticeable difference.  For me personally, the FR945 is more comfortable to wear 24/7.

    Another difference is in the backlight. The FR945 has a display with better contrast in dark conditions when you need to use the backlight. It is again not something that would make the Fenix 6S unusable, but it is definitely easier to see details in maps or read small letters on the FR945's screen in the evening (especially watching from flat angles).

    One more thing: I noticed that the FR945 has stronger haptic feedback and a louder tone. I assume it is because the FR945 has a plastic housing versus the stainless steel material of the Fenix 6S.

    These are the major factors I opted for the FR945 against the Fenix 6S. Also, I more like the sporty style of the FR series.

    I hope I could help you with the decision.

    Ty very much for your opinion. Thats stuff which helps me to decide as it isnt comparable by the spec sheet. 

    I'll order the 945 tomorrow and will try it out.
