Hi,
I'd like to buy an Epix Pro (Gen 2), in 47mm. I'd like to combine it with the brown leather strap, a combination which you cannot get out-of-the-box from Garmin. So I planned to buy the variant with the black silicon strap and buy the brown leather strap aftermarket.
However, now I saw that Garmin on their website offers the "individualization" feature, where you can choose your own strap. Interestingly, there also the case is then shown in a different color, one that I actually like more. But probably that is only a mistake or the picture being taken with different lighting? Or does Garmin really use different cases when going via the "individualization" feature?
Here is the image that is shown when combining the dark case with a leather strap:
And here is the out-of-the-box variant, which looks notably darker:
Buying the out-of-the-box with an after-market (original) leather strap is still 200 € cheaper then going the "individualization" route. However, if the case color is really different as shown on the image, I'd happily to spend the money.
Basically in terms of looks, I'd like the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar Edition (see below), but I prefer the AMOLED display of the Epix.
