The latest Garmin smartwatch Leaks details ahead of IFA 2024 : Fenix 8, Fenix E, and Enduro 3
Smartwatch owners have had a hectic spring, with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 arriving earlier this month and the Google Pixel Watch 3 debuting this week. However, as significant as the individual announcements were, they are not the only ones to be expected at an industry-leading expo in the coming weeks, as IFA 2024 begins in just a few weeks.
The event will feature wearables from various manufacturers, and today, we get a first look at renderings of some of the Garmin Fenix 8, Fenix E, and Enduro 3 models.
Upcoming Garmin Smartwatch Leaks Ahead of IFA 2024
As smartwatch enthusiasts eagerly anticipate IFA 2024, several intriguing leaks have surfaced about Garmin’s release plans for 2019. Garmin plans on unveiling three wearable models, such as Fenix 8S, E, and 3B+. Here we explore more closely what we might expect to find from them.
Garmin Fenix 8: A Breakthrough Display Era
Garmin Fenix 8 is one of the most anticipated smartwatches of this year. Based on leaked renders, its new model will come equipped with superior AMOLED displays compared to previous MIP LCD panels used for Fenix watches. An AMOLED display promises vibrant colors and greater contrast that will enhance user experiences and ultimately enhance performance.
Fenix 8 will come in two sizes.
- 47mm
- 51mm
These versions have leaked prices of 1100 euros ($1,205) for the smaller and 1,199 euros ($1,315) for the bigger models; though these numbers could change at any time due to any number of unknown factors such as specifications being hidden by Garmin; their decision to switch over to AMOLED displays underscores Garmin’s dedication in offering premium displays that meet or surpass existing offerings in their range.
Garmin Fenix E: A More Affordable Option?
| Display | LCD Screen |
| Size | 47mm |
| Design | Durable, rugged build; stylish appearance |
| Performance | Basic health and fitness tracking; fewer advanced features compared to Fenix 8 |
| Battery Life | Good battery life for daily activities |
| Price | More affordable compared to Fenix 8 |
| Customization | Various watch faces and interchangeable bands |
| Connectivity | Standard Bluetooth for smartphone pairing and other devices |
Garmin seems to be unveiling another model known as The Fenix E alongside their Fenix 8. While its AMOLED counterpart will feature dual displays, The Fenix E may feature only an LCD-based screen – making it potentially less costly than more costly alternatives.
Fenix E is expected to come in one size of 47mm, making it suitable for those who enjoy its tough design and performance, yet want it at a reduced cost. No specifications have yet been provided but one can presume fewer costly features may exist as compared to Fenix 8.
Garmin Enduro 3: Premium Materials with Long Battery Life
The Garmin Enduro 3 is set to replace its highly acclaimed predecessor, Enduro 2. Based on leaks, it appears that this premium product from Garmin’s lineup will continue to use top-quality materials and deliver long battery life – two qualities valued by endurance sportspeople and outdoor enthusiasts.
Pricing details on the Enduro 3 and its specific features – such as switching to an AMOLED screen – have yet to be made known, though its emphasis on premium materials suggests it will likely come at a similar or even higher cost than its predecessor.
What’s Next?
International Consumer Electronics Fair 2024 kicks off September 6th and we can expect Garmin to reveal more information about its smartwatches at that conference.
Meanwhile, these renders leaked by Garmin provide us with an intriguing glimpse of the models to come from them – whether AMOLED display technology on Fenix 8s, budget friendly Fenix Es or tough Enduro 3s are among your preferences Garmin has a solution sure to meet them all!
Stay tuned as we approach announcements made by the government.
