Garmin is going to launch the Fenix 8 on August 27th. After initial listings in July, the first press images have surfaced online, along with mentions in official Garmin documents. Additionally, some online retailers are also preparing for the launch of the new premium GPS sports watch.<\/p>\n
When Garmin unveils the Fenix 8 in a live stream on August 27, the company will present a variety of product versions. The Fenix 8 will be available in different sizes and colors, and there will be differences in the display as well. Additionally, it is likely that Garmin will also release the Fenix E and the Enduro 3.<\/p>\n
With the Fenix and Epix, Garmin offers two products that are almost identical except for the display. This has led to some challenges in the past:<\/p>\n
As a result, Garmin seems to have considered presenting new models exclusively under the “Fenix” brand.<\/p>\n
In recent years, Garmin has demonstrated that AMOLED displays and sports or outdoor watches are not mutually exclusive but rather complement each other well. However, since it was initially unclear how well the new display technology would be accepted, particularly in the Fenix series, a new product was needed to avoid jeopardizing the success of the Fenix – thus, the Epix was reborn.<\/p>\n
It is now clear which direction Garmin is moving: Almost every sports watch series currently offers self-illuminating AMOLED displays. Only the Fenix and Instinct series are yet to make the switch.<\/p>\n
For the first time, the new Fenix generation includes models with AMOLED displays. This essentially restores the Fenix’s status as the most premium model, as the Epix relinquishes its “title” and passes the technology on to the Fenix 8.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Knowing that many customers still prefer transflective displays for their efficiency and excellent readability over high-resolution AMOLED displays, the Fenix 8 is also available with a transflective MIP display. However, Garmin is focusing on the AMOLED models, which will be available in sizes of 43 mm, 47 mm, and 51 mm.<\/p>\n
Models with the MIP display will be offered only in sizes of 47 mm and 51 mm.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
