New Garmin Forerunner smartwatch rumoured to be launching later this week with AMOLED display as Forerunner 165 and Forerunner 165 Music

Garmin continues to furnish recent Forerunner smartwatches with features and improvements through a flurry of updates. However, the company has not graced the series with new products since early 2023, when it released the Forerunner 265, Forerunner 265S and Forerunner 965. In recent weeks, there have been rumours that Garmin could be preparing two new models though, both successors of sorts to the ageing Forerunner 55 (curr. $199.99 on Amazon).

Now, Danish retailer Løberen appears to have revealed their launch date, albeit without mentioning a specific device. Instead, Løberen has announced that it will host events at its Aarhus and Copenhagen stores where 'Garmin is launching its brand new watch'. Nonetheless, the appearance of the launch teaser arrives shortly after various Forerunner 165 and Forerunner 165 Music-related leaks, including several official images and European pricing that surfaced last week.

As the machine-translated screenshot below shows, Løberen's events will occur tomorrow at 13:00 CET (12:00 UTC). Given that these events will be public, we suspect that Garmin will release the Forerunner 165 series globally tomorrow as well or later this week at the latest. Either way, the Forerunner 55's successors are expected to arrive with AMOLED displays and several other upgrades, including a design that will be familiar to those who already own the Forerunner 265 or Forerunner 265S.
