Garmin Fenix ​​8: What will it look like ?

Garmin Fenix ​​8 release date: Even if it should not be for immediately (we talk about 2025, or even 2024), especially that the previous model is only recently released, we are already starting to wonder what will be able to look like the Garmin Fenix ​​8.

Garmin Fenix ​​8

In view of the evolution of the market, it is a safe bet that we will be on high -end and multisport model. So you have to expect it to be expensive (personally, I would not be surprised that we are going around 1000 euros).

We should find a touch screen and with AMOLED technology (which should remedy the contrast problem that can be found in the Fenix ​​7). We can also find a microphone there, which would allow us either to use the vocal assistance of our GSM remotely, or even to call with the watch directly (it is less practical than with a phone, but it’s super class )).

We can also expect to have better storage (especially for cartography), but also (and perhaps above all) an improvement in autonomy.

Finally, will ask the question of the ECG. We start to find some on a few watch models. To be honest, I do not yet know where this technology is in terms of advancement. But from the moment it is mastered, automatically, we will find it on the Garmin. And in health surveillance, it would be a huge progress and a great evolution for consumers.
