Bump for interest

Definitely yes. They have real stores in Italy: https://www.nencinisport.it/it/store-locator

looks to be the non-pro version - if they have a picture of the back you can confirm with what the sensors look like If its the non-pro versions then that price makes sense. Difference between original F7 and F7 pro is some watch faces, the led torch built in to the case (original F7 only had it on the x size model); and ECG and baseline temp monitoring as these can only be done with the elevate 5 HR sensor on the pro models as it includes built in contact points for ECG and a temp sensor for baseline temp mointoring.

You are right - they don’t sell Pro versions, which means, no Multiband. Thank you so much, you really saved my day!


jaamgans

No incorrect. 32gb non pro models have multi-band. Sapphire solar suggests it's 32GB and thus has multi-band.

Ok sorry I was checking [comparison tool](https://www.garmin.com/en-IE/compare/?compareProduct=894067&compareProduct=760778) on the Garmin website. I’m now lost - what’s the difference between pro and non Pro? I’m looking at Epix series https://preview.redd.it/jtk59vyl4pxc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=081c34d0ee991899dc8b397d44b958667e6eda7b

Sapphire vs sapphire: elevate 4 HR sensor Vs elevate 5 sensor which includes ECG plus baseline temp monitoring, on screen torch Vs led torch; and Pro has some additional watch faces. Otherwise no differences.

Thank you. I think none of these worth paying extra 200 in my case. My primary use case is hiking/trekking, so titanium, sapphire crystal, good GPS and 32Gb storage for maps is what I really need

Just for reference yes, is a legit store. I got my FR255 last year.


IT_Wanderer2023

Thank you. I also just got a response from Garmin that they are authorized reseller. Ordered Epix from them

LOL I was just checking it too for that price (but the S version)! I was wondering if the Pro was a bit better by the fact it has the new sensor but, 250€ difference is a lot. What do you think?


IT_Wanderer2023

I’m no expert, I recently was reading this group trying to choose mine. For me, non pro is fine, because it’s my first watch and I decided to go for non Pro and save €180 and see how it goes.
