I had same process, and went with Pro rather than x because it was too big on my wrist for every day fashions. (I’m a 6’5” guy, but fairly narrow wrists). Still seems plenty big when I am running etc. in terms of ability to view data and map. Also chose Gorilla glass over sapphire bc I preferred the true black look, and clearer screen. Figure if I love the watch I will upgrade to a 7 or 8 in a couple years anyway, so not worried about it being indestructible and saved $100 to boot. (Only $450 w the sale)

Changed out the band for these (both colors) nylon ones and I think they look better and are way more comfortable:

Also have iOS and all the above comments are correct re limitations. I basically see all notifications but can’t filter out specific apps or reply. It’s ok, I don’t care, but obviously less functional than Apple Watch in this regard.
