Can that orange piece of metal easily be changed?
Like the clean case on 47mm amoled with titanium band, but would rather have a Grey silicone band.

There is the Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm DLC Titanium with Black/Pebble gray. This is is overall black and gray option, and is still Titanium. www.garmin.com/.../010-02904-20
Also other band colors can be purchased…
I would like to order the F8 Solar with raw titanium, but you are forced to have the garish 'amp yellow' sensor protector. Would be nice to have an option to not have it or replace it.
Like OP, I seriously dislike the bright orange accents but (since I live in US) there is no other option with Raw Titanium bezel. But in UK there is 010-02904-40. Why Garmin must you make the various color…
I HATE my 8 47mm Titanium AMOLED garish orange sensor color. The band was easy to ditch, and I understand the SENSOR GUARD is easily replaceable. COME ON GARMIN, this is an opportunity to make some money…
In Spain at least (I guess in rest of Europe too) there are special edition versions with natural titanium bezel and protector, BUT they are more expensive, to be sold in jewelries and so on, coming with two bands in a bigger and nicer box. I got mine like this in 51 mm (just because i wanted all titanium color bezel+protector, coming with dark gran silicon band and leather band). Both 51 and 47 have they same price, because the 47 comes with silicon and titanium bands.

47 mm: https://www.garmin.com/es-ES/p/1228429/pn/010-02904-40
Not sure if you could get them online somehow.

Aditionally to the silicon bands Garmin sells come with black clasp, while the one that comes with the watch is titanium color to match bezel color, etc. I have found in Aliexpress silicon bands with steel color clasp and purchaed two of them in 26mm. They almost match the quality of the original ones and are quite cheap. Recommended.

Something to note! The none raw titanium, the carbon DLC coated version is significantly more scratch and ding resistant then the raw titanium, also they cost the same price. The slate gray smoked which is $100 cheaper looses the titanium and looses the sapphire. At least that’s the pricing here in Canada
Hi. Maybe but even being more resistant, I would say that minor scratches are maybe more visible due to the fact that natural metal color under is revealed. Before my F8 i had a Tactix Delta, which was DLC coated (and I have had other DLC coated watches in black color as well) and for me personally, I don’t like how scratches look like on them. I prefer scratches on bare metal.
You can buy silver-colored buckles on Amazon.

They also had somewhat of a deal on a Titanium band:

This silver buckles look much like the original ones:

I bought a silver one for an original band I have that came with black buckle (from my previous Tactix). The buckle is the same that comes with the bands I linked in a previous comment. Both the bands and the buckle look great with very good quality. I don’t think I’m buying any original anymore.
