Garmin Fenix 8: Absorbing the Epix Line with AMOLED
The Fenix 8 series is making a significant shift by incorporating AMOLED displays, effectively absorbing the Epix line. The leaked images reveal that the Fenix 8 will be available in two sizes: 47mm and 51mm. Garmin has been shifting most of their watches from LCD screens, signaling Garmin’s commitment to offering more vibrant and high-contrast displays.

Garmin Fenix E: A More Affordable Option
The leak also introduces the Garmin Fenix E, a new, more budget-friendly model in the Fenix lineup. Unlike the Fenix 8, the Fenix E is expected to retain the MIP (Memory In Pixel) screen technology, which has been a staple in previous Fenix models. This model will likely be available only in a 47mm size and is positioned as a more affordable option within the Fenix family, catering to users who prefer the durability and battery efficiency of MIP screens. It appears the Fenix E also uses the older Elevate 4 HR sensor, while the Fenix 8 retains the latest Elevate 5 HR sensor.
Garmin Enduro 3: Continuing the Brand
The leak marks the first signs of the Enduro line’s successor with the introduction of the Enduro 3. This new model continues the nomenclature of its predecessors, indicating that Garmin is committed to maintaining the legacy of the Enduro series, which is known for its ultra-endurance capabilities. The Enduro 3 is expected to be offered exclusively in a 51mm case size and retain the similar color scheme as the prior models.
