now that the fenix 7x is released, it's time to turn our attention to what i (we?) REALLY want, the tactix delta successor. according to my research, fenix 6 was launched in august, tactix delta the following january. if this timeframe holds, echo should launch in june. CANNOT wait. all i really want is the case material/look/feel of the delta and delta software enhancements with the fenix 7 updates and it should easily retain the title of the best watch garmin makes...
Ordered! Does anybody want to buy my 7x Sapphire? 
I was going to ask you for the price but just realized... the Tactix 7 flashlight has white and green leds? I mean, GREEN, not red??? This makes the fenix 7x too much obsolete, sorry, can't purchase it now...
Unless... what's the price?? 
Congratulations on your purchase, can I ask which version you ordered? Just to be able to envy you the right amount... 
Cheers!
Flashlight is white and green, instead of white and red (no idea why green would be preferable over red, maybe there's some sort of military reason?)
Short answer: Current flight decks use green light during night ops.
Longer answer:
With regard to the preservation of scotopic (night) vision; The intensity (brightness) of the light used to read charts is more important than the color. Inexpensive polychromatic green LEDs, which closely match the spectral response of the human eye, are now widely available. In combination with the popularity of LED astrolights, the deep sky observer now has the opportunity to drastically cut their visual recovery time and improve their perception of faint objects.
There is widespread astronomical mythology concerning the "correct", "proper", or "best" type of light to use while observing. Conventional wisdom dictates that your chosen, appropriate, source of illumination should be primarily red although spectrally pure red is even better. The conventional wisdom is wrong! Millions of observers are unnecessarily compromising their night vision each time they use a red light to read their charts. Why? Because monochromatic red light must be many times brighter than polychromatic green before we can see with it.
It is unfortunate that the red myth, perpetuated by half baked logic, mis-interpreted facts, and unsupported assumption, has been needlessly forced upon generations of unsuspecting stargazers. Maybe the origin of the red light myth has roots in the early days of photography, when early emulsions were insensitive to red. Much of the myth has certainly been supported by the existence of numerous studies showing red light, of a given intensity, has less effect on night vision than other colors. While this is true, a light source that has the least effect on night vision is not the same thing as a light source that will allow visual perception at the lowest possible level of illumination.
