Garmin Tactix Delta

I called Garmin support and for 90$ they sent me a factory refurb and I’ve had that ever since. I use mine daily , I run , ride and mtb and lift regularly. I cannot safe enough good things about this line. I’m looking to upgrade again around December this year and I’m gonna look for a 6/6x solar or a tactix delta solar if can get a good deal on one.

The battery is insanely good with the Delta. I get about 20-30 days without recharging for just basic use, paired with a phone and with occasional GPS use. This is even with running a homebrew app on it that'll interface with ATAK and let me plot points without touching the phone. On that note, the interface is the best there is, in my opinion - the physical buttons are rock solid and the UI is really well thought out, such that you don't need to hit more than a couple buttons to reach any feature.

Now I bought tactix delta and it's the same thing. My calories count is more than double comparing to Apple watch and I'm not even working out, also both garmin watches count my calories than I'm asleep and I don't wear it. I always leave it in bathroom. I read all FAQ in garmin website and reddit, all parameters are correct and information is filled in.

I prefer the Tactix Delta (because of my line of work) but I believe questions are relevant to Fenix 6(X?) too. I dont use watch to reply to people (siri is useless in my language). I also don't use watch to "siri" things that much.

I would have lived as I have a Spot and could have tried to head in the general direction of the road, but I would likely have gotten hurt on the way as the area was full of cliffs, canyons, and steep hills. So the watch likely saved me a helicopter ride out of there. 10/10 don't go hiking without it. Bonus story: I have used it while out of the country to make sure my questionable taxi drivers were taking me to the right location when I didn't have cellular data.
