- A set of official-looking renders depicting the Garmin Fenix 8, Fenix E, and Enduro 3 has leaked.
- Garmin’s expected to move to an AMOLED panel for the Fenix 8.
- Little is known about the Fenix E, but it’s possible it could arrive as a more affordable edition.
It’s already been a busy summer for smartwatch fans, between the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7 launching last month, to this week’s debut of Google’s Pixel Watch 3. But for as big as those individual announcements were, we’ve still got a major industry expo ahead of us, with IFA 2024 getting underway in just a few more weeks. That promises to showcase wearables from dozens of companies, and today we’re getting a small preview, with the leak of some renders showing off the Garmin Fenix 8, Fenix E, and Enduro 3.
Garmin is one of those smartwatch companies that really likes using MIP LCD panels on its watches, but one of our biggest wishes for the Fenix 8 has been that it would move to an AMOLED display. Sharing the renders you see above, WinFuture attempts to confirm that change for both 47mm and 51mm variants. While the site reports not having anything else in the way of tech specs to share, it does give us a hint at pricing, mentioning €1,099 (~$1,205) for the smaller and €1,199 (~$1,315) for the larger size — but we would not place a lot of stock in those US equivalents.
