Garmin leaks upcoming Fenix ​​​​8 MicroLED and Fenix ​​​​8 Pro

The Garmin Fenix ​​​​8 and Fenix ​​​​8 Solar sports watches have only been on the market for a few weeks, but there are already leaks pointing to three more versions that are still in development: the Fenix ​​​​8 Pro 47 mm, the Fenix ​​​​8 Pro 51 mm and the Fenix ​​​​8 MicroLED.

Several screenshots shared on Reddit from various sources show that the Fenix ​​​​8 Pro 47mm, Fenix ​​​​8 Pro 51mm, and Fenix ​​​​8 MicroLED were available as options in the Add Device section of the Garmin Connect app (they have since been removed).

The fact that there is an upcoming Pro version of the Fenix ​​​​8 is not a big surprise, as Garmin released a Pro version a year after the release of the previous Fenix ​​​​7. However, the possibility of a MicroLED version is something many did not expect.

MicroLED is a screen technology that allows for a brighter and more energy-efficient display than AMOLED. Apple had previously reported making a watch with this display (they use MicroLED on the Apple Vision Pro), but the project was canceled when it couldn't find suppliers that could produce the next-generation displays at an economical cost.

The standard Garmin Fenix ​​8 currently costs between $999 and $1,199 (depending on size). Using the prices of the Garmin Fenix ​​7 and 7 Pro as a guide, a Garmin Fenix ​​8 Pro would add another $150 to the price. We don't have any relevant comparisons to estimate how much a MicroLED version will cost, but it certainly won't be cheap.

Before you save up for the upcoming Garmin Fenix ​​​​8 Pro, consider the following:
