Garmin appears poised to launch several new smartwatches in the near future, as evidenced by recent additions to the Garmin Connect app. The unannounced devices could belong to the Fenix 9 lineup, which is expected to span multiple models as in previous generations.

Garmin Connect serves as the central platform for aggregating data from Garmin devices and acts as the official companion app, which has now reached version 5.27. Analyzing the source code of such application packages (APK analysis) routinely reveals details about features and products that are not yet intended for public release. A recent teardown of Garmin Connect 5.27 by Gadgets & Wearables uncovered several new entries, including a product codenamed "GOBI" with the internal model number 5179. It is already widely expected that this smartwatch is the upcoming Enduro 4.

In addition, the software update contains several other new codenames and internal product numbers:

  • BRISTLECONE (5169)
  • MARGAY_CARACAL (5161)
  • BENGAL_SIBERIAN (5162)
  • Panther (5164)
  • TORF_SNARF (5143)
  • LEAH_CHEETARA (5144)
  • WILYCUB_PANTHRO (5145)
  • Rogers (5193)

Each of these numbers likely represents a distinct new product or product variant, indicating that Garmin is actively working on a broad range of hardware. As Gadgets & Wearables points out, the differing naming conventions suggest these entries cover distinct wearable categories. The sheer volume of new listings would also align with an impending launch of the Garmin Fenix 9 series, which reports suggest could hit the market alongside the Enduro 4.
