Fenix 8 Sapphire Titan vs. 8 Pro (Both €800). Which one if I don't care about LTE?

Hey everyone,

I'm debating between the Fenix 8 Sapphire Titan and the 8 Pro since I can get either for exactly €800 right now.

Here is what I already know:

  • I will never pay for LTE.
  • Battery life isn't an issue for me.
  • The Pro's screen is brighter.

What I'm still trying to figure out:

  1. Sensors & Hardware: Are the HR/GPS sensors identical? Does the Pro have a better processor that makes it smoother?
  2. Software: Will the 8 Pro get software updates for longer, or are they treated as the same platform?
  3. Bulk: Is the Pro noticeably thicker or heavier? I'm wondering if it will be annoying to fit under a ski jacket cuff this winter.

If LTE is totally out of the equation, which one is the better buy? Thanks!
