What sort of stuff do you find happens?
Wrist based HR simply can't keep up with rapidly changing HR so I can't rely on it to record HR whilst playing 5-a-side football. I've banged on about this in this thread before. When running it'll be fine for 90% of runs but then one run in ten it'll under-read my HR by ~20bpm for the first 5 or 6 minutes and then jump up to the correct HR.
About 1 in 20 times I take it off charge it just hangs (usually on the screen it displays when it is charging) and needs to be turned off and back on before it's usable.
Really rarely (once or twice in 18 months) it fails to get a GPS lock within 2 minutes when starting an activity and needs to be turned off and back on again. Usually it takes under 10 seconds to get a full GPS lock, and the watch is within range of a wifi network so it has quick access to ephemeris/almanac data so no idea what the problem is here. Again, power cycle fixes it perfectly.
About 1 in 50 swims randomly fails to record any HR info, despite it coming from wrist based HR.
GPS related problems are rare, and I don't care about minor glitches, but it did fail to record a GPS track for 3/4 of one of my Swim Serpentine swims:-

whereas the second and third 2 miles that day were recorded fine:-

Looking at my archive I've got 343 activities taking up 43MB since I got the 945 in June 2020.
Still really happy with it overall.

Ah, so entirely feature based glitches rather than basic functionality.
Fenix 6 (non pro) only has 64mb of storage. Plenty if you're only storing activities but I tend to record 20 or more 12h+ activities most years so I can chew through mine relatively quickly.

Wrist HR is just garbage. It’s a work of fiction

My Fenix 6 tends to puke once or twice a year and it took me ages to figure out its because the on board memory was filling up with activities. I now periodically wipe storage to avoid it.
