Garmin has officially introduced its new generation of sports smartwatches — the Garmin Fenix 9 and the advanced Fenix 9 Pro. The new models feature improved display specifications, increased memory capacity, and expanded activity monitoring functions.

What’s New in the Garmin Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro

The Fenix 9 is built with a fiber-reinforced polymer case and a titanium back cover. The device is equipped with a display twice as bright as its predecessor, protected by sapphire glass. The watch features sealed buttons and is water-resistant up to 40 meters.

Compared to the Fenix 8, RAM has increased by 50%, and the mapping engine now operates 30% faster. The internal memory for maps and data is 64 GB, which is double that of the previous generation. The Fenix 9 Pro model features a unique full-titanium body and the largest AMOLED screen in the Fenix lineup.

The watches are available in three sizes: 43 mm, 47 mm, and 51 mm.

Engineers have added the Garmin Epic feature: you can now group activity logs over long periods, add photos, and share them with friends. New metrics for indoor rowing have been implemented, along with expanded options for rucking workouts and advanced endurance tracking logic using endurance “zones” and “curves.”
