Bands included?

Has anyone received their Tactix 8 yet? I have ordered the Amoled one and am I correct that it doesn't come with both Nylon and Silicon bands? I hope its a mistake.

as far as I see only 51mm versions come with 2 straps, 47mm gets just silicone

I did order a 51mm one, garmin only mentions one band in the description of what's in the box.

Are you in North America? US does not include the Nylon. Makes no sense when other regions of the globe are receiving both.

At the Garmin store in Munich, they informed me that the second strap was only available on the 51mm watches.

I got my Tactix 8 Amoled (51mm) today (2/21, in the US). Sadly, just one band -- the silicone one.

Yes in the US it only comes with the silicone one. Ordered mine this week on Amazon.

North America here and sadly only the silicon band and $130 to get the nylon band after spending over $1700 for a watch with tax is just sad. Garmin should do better.

Well... Would you rather pay 1,449.99 Pounds (US$ 1,824.12) and get both bands, or just pay US$1,599.99 and just get the silicone band?

Looks to me like folks are paying the equivalent of US$224.13 more for the nylon band...

The U.S. price is a bargain (comparatively)!

Just sayin'

Pricing is a bit strange. In Eu 47mm Amoled with one band is 1399 €, but 51mm Amoled with two bands can be found discounted already for 1399 € also?!? Biger battery and extra strap for the same price! And I am stuck with a small wrist

I get what you are saying but the price went up vs T7 pro and the kept only the silicone band. The pricing per region is a thing of course and you do have a point.
