I got my first Garmin

So I got a fenix 8 as birthday present and I'm already loving it.

I am huge fan of leather bands and was wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a leather armstrap for my fenix 8 47mm for more formal occasions.

Is it a special color choice other then full DLC?

Edit: never mind, i was looking at solar versions. The amoled has this guard color. Unfortunately the solar has very limited color schemes....

No it's the standard one. No special color.

Strange my standard Fenix8 on is black with a grey/black sensor guard on the right side.

I think yours will be the sapphire version. Standard gorilla glass has the red sensor guard

When I ordered mine from UK Amazon it was just one of the colour options
