I wonder if they are going to release some more colorful straps for the epix with the porsche logo, I think it looks better than plain black.

Yes, it's the hardest epix. It's 57g compared to titanium 47g or standard 53g but it's lighter than marq gen2 :) which is 59g
This is Porsche and standard one back 316L SUS / 316L SS
It's not titanium, it's a Japan kind of Ssteel , it has a darker colour with a hint of champagne. It's called SUS316L, not SS316L.I think they…
FYI, 316L SS and SUS 316L are one and the same - just different naming standards based on country.

Is this titanium or stainless steel ?

Yes thats true. SS have types like 316 or 310 or 308. Its a pitty that porsche puts ss.
It's clearly all stainless steel but the ingredients differ a bit because it has a different smokier color and a hint of champagne. And it's not PVD.
I'll post a picture next to a classic stainless steel one when I meet up with a friend to see the differences in shade.

There are many surface treatments available that could have been used to alter the surface color of the 316L steel, but that does not change the fact that they are both the same 316L steel.

Of course just write it clearly on the back. It's interesting why they passed SUS and not SS being both bought from Germany and both are European versions. What would have been the reason .

One is MIL-STD-810 and the Porsche one is not. I wonder why?
One is water resistant to 100 meters and the other is 10 ATM. I wonder why?
One clearly says "GEN 2" on the back and the other does not. I wonder why?
One has "MULTI-BAND GPS" on the back and the other does not. I wonder why?
One has "SAPPHIRE" on the back and the other does not. I wonder why?
There certainly is a lot to wonder about. I wonder why?
What would have been the reason?
