Garmin Fenix 9 brings new Pro hardware, Solar models and 64GB storage

Key Points:

• Garmin has launched the Fenix 9 series, offering five main configurations including standard Fenix 9, full-titanium Fenix 9 Pro, MIP-based Pro Solar, and Pro inReach models with LTE and satellite connectivity options.
• The Fenix 9 Pro features a full titanium case, brighter AMOLED displays up to 3,000 nits, and a larger 1.5-inch screen on the 51 mm model, while Solar models retain the transflective MIP display for better sunlight visibility.
• Storage capacity has doubled to 64 GB across all models, enhancing map and music storage, but health sensors remain largely unchanged from the Fenix 8 generation, with no new optical heart-rate hardware introduced.
• The inReach satellite and LTE communication features are now offered as separate Pro inReach models, allowing buyers to choose satellite connectivity without being limited to AMOLED displays, and a new 43 mm Pro size option returns.
• Software updates include Garmin Epic for multi-day activity grouping, expanded multisport and endurance tools, improved mapping, and new features like ArcheryX, broadening the device’s capabilities without drastically changing the core experience from the previous generation.
