Garmin said on the 26th it released the flagship multisport GPS smartwatch "Fenix 9" and the higher-end model "Fenix 9 Pro."
The new models feature an AMOLED display that is twice as bright as the previous version, improved fitness analytics, and map navigation. They apply a sapphire lens and leak-proof buttons and support diving to a depth of 40 meters. RAM capacity is up 50%, and a new map engine boosts on-screen navigation speed by up to 30%. The 64GB of internal storage can hold maps and up to 7,000 songs.
A "Garmin Epic" feature that manages multiple activities as a single journey was also added. You can organize long-running workout logs with health and performance data and photos and share them. Training tools were enhanced, including fitness zones and a fitness curve, VO2 max analysis for indoor rowing, and a rucking feature that reflects backpack weight.
Fenix 9 Pro uses a titanium case for the first time in the series. The 51mm model features a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. Some models support solar charging, allowing up to 57 days of use in smartwatch mode.
The products come in 43, 47, and 51mm. Prices start at 1.49 million won for Fenix 9 and from 1.69 million won each for the Fenix 9 Pro AMOLED and Solar models.
