Agree, very bright. And the case color looks the same in the shot of the two versions (silver version not slightly lighter as Garmin website seems to show and others have indicated)
Having gotten my hands on the Silver in person, I think I'll be returning my Black/Sapphire... Wasn't quite sure how I would like the shiny bezel but it looks very slick. I dig the black band moreso than the blue one. Looking forward to getting leather band too.

So you're returning the black Sapphire for the silver? Any concerns about losing the Sapphire glass? I must admit the silver does look good.
I am not. I've had several non-sapphire fitness watches and have never had an issue while regularly training throughout the year (swim/bike/run)... The only blemishes/scuffs I'll typically see are on the bezel. This was true for both sapphire and non-sapphire watches.
