Are they both fully waterproof in the rain, I need it for my running job & my own running group, I need the battery to last on a 70 mile Ultra Marathon in a very hot country. Without it melting to my arm lol 😆 I did find a high end garmin Adventure watch but its well priced at £1,400 pounds a mate has got it & it's just brilliant 👏

Thank you for the quick review, always look forward to your videos. My biggest question with the F6 is how much of a sacrifice is getting the solar one which does not come with the sapphire glass. I understand the reasoning behind it but is the Power Glass is based on Corning Gorilla glass 3 like the non sapphire version is, how much more scratch resistant is the sapphire? I’ve had my 5x plus sapphire with DLC for a year and the glass is perfect with a lot of abusive use. How is the non sapphire F5 plus one? Thank you!
