The launch of new Fenix smartwatches is fast approaching. While Garmin has not officially revealed anything yet, a regional website has outlined not only the launch date for the Fenix 8 series, but also that it will be available in three sizes.
Smartwatch Wearable Leaks / Rumors

A few days have passed since FitnessTrackerTest (FTT) offered new insights into the release of the Fenix 8. In summary, FTT asserted that Garmin may introduce its long-awaited Fenix 7 replacements before IFA 2024, which starts on September 6. Based on new retail listings, Garmin could well deliver new Fenix smartwatches in a fortnight or so.

Officially, the company has not confirmed anything yet. However, Gadgets & Wearables has noticed multiple store listings on a Ukrainian regional website. Unfortunately, the listings do not contain any photos or specifications. Nonetheless, they appear to confirm a few aspects about the Fenix 8 series, including a prospective release date.

Specifically, each listing reports that the Fenix 8 series will arrive between September 4 and September 6, just before IFA 2024 officially begins. Also, it seems that Garmin plans to offer the Fenix 8 in 43 mm, 47 mm and 51 mm sizes, unlike the Fenix 7 (curr. $515.99 on Amazon). Moreover, it appears that Garmin will charge just as much for 43 mm SKUs as their 47 mm counterparts, with 51 mm SKUs carrying a 10% surcharge.
