Garmin launches the new Fenix ​​​​8 and Enduro 3 and retires Epix: these are the main updates and new tools

What you need to know

  • The Garmin fenix 8, previously MIP-only, now also has AMOLED models, making the short-lived Garmin Epix line obsolete.
  • It comes with a 40-meter dive rating, built-in microphone and speaker with new voice commands, new strength training plans, and a revamped map interface with “dynamic round-trip routing.”
  • The Garmin Enduro 3 now offers 90 days or 320 hours of GPS on solar power, roughly double what the Enduro 2 offered thanks to a new solar panel.

Garmin has announced its new flagship watches, the Fenix ​​8 and Enduro 3, with a number of hardware improvements and interesting software additions. While both watches still feature battery-saving MIP displays, Garmin continued its transition to AMOLED by offering the popular Fenix ​​in three AMOLED sizes as well.

Previously, Garmin sold the “Epix” line as an AMOLED alternative to Fenix, so I asked my Garmin rep if this news meant Epix was dead. She replied, “Yes, we are combining Solar/MIP and AMOLED under the Fenix ​​family, which has established itself as a very reputable brand over the past decade.”
