The 6X Pro does everything I need at the moment, and as you say the battery life should see me around L100 and I'm not planning anything longer than 40 hrs! Unless they've made a big upgrade to the FirstBeat training functionality, which isn't the headline stuff that tends to get leaked, I can't think of anything they could add that would tempt me.

Haven't seen much about that yet, no idea if it can use climb info in courses to help estimate. If not it'll only be useful on the flat!

chunkywizard Jan 2022 7:12pm, 8 Jan 2022 13,257 posts	chunkywizard Settings can already be backed up as per below support.garmin.com It’s a bit clunky but good if you have to do a factory reset.
Bowman 🇸🇪 Jan 2022 7:18pm, 8 Jan 2022 778 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 Yes I kinda knew that one CW, but as I remembered it’s not really everything? But maybe it is, but somewhat clunky as you said
chunkywizard Jan 2022 7:24pm, 8 Jan 2022 13,258 posts	chunkywizard I think it’s datafields per sport, records, settings, locations, workout and courses, ie most things, you need to re set up wallet if you have it and things like Spotify if you use it, but it’s much quicker (can you tell I’ve just done a factory reset? )
Bowman 🇸🇪 Jan 2022 7:29pm, 8 Jan 2022 779 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 Ok yes most of it then. I’ve dreaded to have to reset my watch, but so far I have not been forced to do it.

Bowman 🇸🇪 Jan 2022 7:43pm, 8 Jan 2022 780 posts	Bowman 🇸🇪 I really don’t se the point with the maps on that small screen though That is the only thing I don’t really use fortunately:)
