UK its a £450 difference, so i guess over 500 euros for you?

Huh? Not so much difference! 

Here it's 699€ for standard, 799€ for solar, 899€ for solar+sapphire. So the difference is 200€.

I just had a chat with a German Garmin support representative. He confirmed once again that all Fenix 7 have exactly the same GPS hardware and software (I hope he knew what he was talking about).

The only difference of the Sapphire variant is the glass and the case (and the larger memory).

He recommends that everyone contact support and ask about it themselves.

No, he don´t knew what he was talking about!

According the specification on Garmin site, this is not true :For F7 :

seems like only sapphire solar has multiband

If You were right, the F7s non Saphire has only GPS. According to specs...

HW could be same, but it could be blocked on non-Saphire versions :-(

Come on Garmin.. Fact that we need to wait for a youtuber's review for clarification..

that's not true,

F7 only solar+sapphire has multi-frequency,
