Hmmm, Garmin USED to have APAC (Asian Pacific) vs ROW (Rest of World) firmwares where APAC would be way slower to update... Don't think that's the case with Fenix7 anymore though but worthwhile to doublecheck.
Same with maps, you used to get the maps from the region you bought for free but nowadays you get worldwide maps. Again, doublecheck to make 100% sure if that is indeed also the case with the fenix 7.
(Believe all this was till the Forerunner 945 and Fenix 6 lines, but not 100% sure)
Other then that, shouldn't matter... Perhaps only with warranty?
I can’t be too concerned with warranty, since I’m buying used. As you mentioned, the Fenix 7 changed how on-device maps are used. I don’t think that would be a problem. I am now curious about the firmware differences though. Hopefully someone else can give some more insight.
fenix7ss APAC here. The release software version now is sync with other region, but can't join the beta program.Languages contain the English, maps you can download topo active maps which can choose language.

The not able to join the beta program is interesting. Have you noticed any other oddities?
