Rumours are once again surrounding Garmin, with reports suggesting a new fenix smartwatch could be in the works. Garmin’s fenix range is one of the most popular choices for serious runners, hikers and endurance athletes. The latest watch in the range, the fenix 8 is a GPS fitness tracker that brought new features including AMOLED displays, guided strength training and improved maps. While Garmin has yet to officially announce the fenix 9, rumours suggest a new flagship smartwatch could arrive in the second half of 2026.
According to Garmin Rumors, the next generation could focus on refining features introduced with the fenix 8 Pro rather than delivering a complete redesign. Speculation points towards improvements around connectivity, display technology and battery efficiency.
