Garmin is reportedly planning to release new smartwatches that will compete directly with Apple’s Watch Ultra. According to leaked images shared by WinFuture, the upcoming Garmin flagships include the Epix Pro Gen 2, Approach S70, Fenix 7X Pro, and Fenix 7 Pro. These smartwatches come in various sizes and colors, with some options offering sapphire crystal displays that make them more scratch-resistant.
Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2:
The Epix Pro Gen 2, in particular, will reportedly come in three display sizes (42mm, 47mm, and 51mm), providing users with more flexibility than the standard Epix Gen that came in only one size (47mm). However, there is no information about pricing or specs yet, although rumors suggest that the Epix Gen 2 watch could cost up to 1,150 ($1,252) for the largest size. It remains unclear whether the Epix Gen 2 Pro will have cellular connectivity, which was a significant drawback of the Garmin Epix 2.
Garmin Fenix 7 Pro / 7X Pro:
In addition to the Epix Pro Gen 2, Garmin is also introducing two new additions to the Fenix series: the Fenix 7X Pro and Fenix 7 Pro. The new smartwatches will likely come with the option for either a Solar or Sapphire Solar display, similar to the existing Fenix 7 watch. However, WinFuture did not provide any information about potential sizes.
Garmin Approach S70:
Garmin’s Approach S70 golf-focused smartwatch was also featured in the leaked images and could come in three colors: gray, white, and black. It is still unclear when Garmin will release these new smartwatches, but rumors suggest that it could happen sometime next month.
Overall:
These new smartwatches from Garmin promise to provide users with more choices when it comes to display sizes and colors. With the inclusion of sapphire crystal displays and other features, these smartwatches could be a significant upgrade from their predecessors. It remains to be seen how they will compare to Apple’s Watch Ultra, but the competition between these two tech giants can only mean better products for consumers.
