F7: Is "MULTI-FREQUENCY POSITIONING" dual band or is it not?

German site states the same.

On the German Garmin website, the Fenix 6 doesn't say anything about multi-frequency. With the F7, on the other hand, it does for all variants.

Neither the US nor the Italian websites show multi frequency for standard/solar-only versions.

I guess that's an error on the German website, or for some reasons German watches have different chips, which is almost impossible to me.

Nope, that's multi-constellation

yeah, I meant multi GNSS. it's getting really confusing!

But I think it's clear the feature we want is only going to be on 7 Sapphire models....and not on the standard 7. Uk site says it's a sapphire edition feature and that feature does not show in non-Sapphire listings.

Multi GNSS shows for non-Sapphire on Italy site - no mention of dual band until on Garmin UK site when dual band appears with Sahhire.

But THIS is what you want to dual band...according to UK site at least.

I think we have multi-gnss on all devices and additional multi-gnss multi-band only on the sapphire models. 

Still an odd decision to either deactivate that in software or have a different chipsets in the non sapphire models (maybe do to the microchip shortage).

This isn't a new feature - you can find this on the F6 too on Garmin's website. It just refers to the ability to choose GPS, GPS + Glonass etc

The multi-band thing is the interesting feature - multi GNSS we have had since the Fenix 5 and probably earlier.

And multi-band appears to be Sapphire exclusive. I think we are agreeing, but it's hard to tell!

That`s what I said in my post

Well, you pay a lot more for the Solar+Sapphire version compared to Standard. I may have wanted Sapphire but would probably skip the solar feature. So in the end not too strange to use two different chips in order to have three price tiers.
