Garmin Fenix 8 press release leaks showing upgrades, latest features and official battery life estimates for new AMOLED display option

The secret is well and truly out when it comes to Garmin's next smartwatch release. So far this year, the company has introduced the Lily 2 and Forerunner 165, the latter slotting in as a cheaper alternative to the Forerunner 265 and Forerunner 965 (curr. $499.99 on Amazon). However, a plethora of recent evidence suggests that Garmin is ready to unleash new Fenix smartwatches, over two and a half years after the first Fenix 7 models arrived.

Now, the5krunner claims to have got its hands on the full official press release for the Fenix 8 series. While it does not mention a release date, Garmin is currently expected to deliver new Fenix smartwatches on August 27. Also, the press release does not contain any device images, which leaked earlier this month.

To that end, recent unboxing footage has corroborated some of the information contained below, as has other rumours courtesy of FitnessTrackerTest relating to battery life estimates and connectivity options. Incidentally, Garmin has now confirmed the date and time of an officially unknown product launch event, full details of which we have covered separately. Please see Garmin's alleged press release below for more details.

The ultimate multisport smartwatches come in various sizes, offering a choice between brilliant AMOLED or MIP solar displays, advanced outdoor, multisport, and health features, along with a speaker, microphone, and a bright LED flashlight.

For years, the fēnix series has been celebrated for its innovative features, high-quality materials, and distinctive design, becoming the benchmark for multisport watches over the last decade. Now, Garmin introduces the latest generation: the fēnix 8. This new model features, for the first time, a stunning AMOLED display and is also available with the enhanced MIP solar-charging lens for extended battery life. With upgrades like advanced strength training features, diving profiles, built-in speaker and microphone, and Garmin Share, it's the most powerful fēnix yet—designed for those who want to push their athletic limits.

The 51 mm AMOLED model offers up to 29 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, while the 51 mm solar model with an always-on display can last up to 48 days.

Key highlights and new features include:

• 顯示器和尺寸：可選擇配備明亮 AMOLED 顯示器的型號或帶有太陽能充電鏡頭的節能 MIP 顯示器。 fēnix 8 的 51 毫米版本比其前身多提供 50% 的太陽能。 AMOLED 型號提供三種尺寸：43 毫米（1.3 吋）、47 公釐（1.4 吋）或 51 公釐（1.4 吋），而 MIP 版本則有 47 公釐（1.3 吋）或 51 公釐（1.4 吋）。
• 耐用設計：所有型號均配有防水金屬按鈕、新型側面安裝感測器防護裝置，並經過美國軍用標準的耐熱、抗衝擊和防水測試。鈦金屬或不銹鋼邊框以及防刮藍寶石或大猩猩玻璃等高端材料可承受最惡劣的條件。
• 揚聲器和麥克風：與智慧型手機配對，您可以直接從手錶撥打電話。即使沒有電話連接，「開始力量訓練」、「設定 5 分鐘計時器」或「儲存航路點」等語音指令也會啟動重要且常用的功能。
• LED 手電筒：可以透過以下方式輕鬆調整手電筒的亮度：不同的強度、紅燈和頻閃模式有助於提高黑暗環境中的可見度，無論是在訓練跑步時、在背包中查找手機還是在小屋的宿舍中行走時。
• 特定運動的訓練計劃：針對越野跑等各種運動量身定制的眾多訓練計劃，有助於提高力量和耐力，同時降低受傷風險。
• 潛水功能：支援休閒潛水（單氣）和自由潛水，深達 40 米，擁有官方潛水認證和防水感應按鈕。
• Garmin Messenger 應用程式：這款免費的通訊應用程式可讓您直接從智慧手錶向朋友和家人發送簡訊。
• 高級地圖和動態往返路線：使用預先安裝的地形圖保持在正軌上歐洲，以及包含滑雪道和越野滑雪資訊的 Golf 和 SkiView 地圖。其他地圖可透過 Wi-Fi 輕鬆下載。輸入您在訓練或探索期間所需的距離，手錶將引導您在設定的時間內到達和返回。如果您偏離了最初計劃的路線，它會考慮到起點的目標距離，自動重新計算。
• Garmin 共享：新功能可以輕鬆快速地與其他相容的 Garmin 產品共享計劃的路線、鍛鍊和位置。
