Garmin has launched its new fenix 8 Series and Enduro 3 smartwatches – and they are coming soon to South Africa.

These smartwatches all feature robust build quality, cutting-edge exercise features, and sleek designs.

We outline the key features of each smartwatch, below.

fenix 8 Series

The fenix 8 Series comprises Garmin’s most capable premium multisport smartwatches ever made.

It includes two display options – a bright AMOLED display, and a solar charging display that is 50% more powerful than previous models.

The solar charging display is particularly noteworthy, as it extends the smartwatch’s battery life from 29 days to 48 days.

The fenix 8 is also more durable than ever, featuring leakproof metal buttons, a new sensor guard, and military-grade resistances.

You can access multiple new quality-of-life features, too, including a built-in speaker, microphone, and messaging capabilities.

The most important improvements to the fenix 8 Series range, however, are their fitness feature upgrades.

Users can now access advanced, sport-specific strength training technology that elevates their workouts with customisable personal goals.

This is complemented by advanced mapping and navigation functionality built into the fenix 8 – providing the ability to design custom map layouts and dynamic round-trip routing so that you never get lost.

Other key features of the fenix 8 include:

• Wrist-based Pulse Ox – Monitor the percentage of your blood that is well-oxygenated.
• Body Battery Energy Monitoring – Track your personal energy levels to make smarter exercise and health decisions.
• Jet Lag Adviser – Receive guidance on how to minimise jet lag.
• Advanced Sleep Monitoring – Track your sleep statistics and receive insight into your sleep habits.
• Nap Detection – Optimise your sleeping habits based on your naps.

Enduro 3

The Garmin Enduro 3 shares many of the new features of the fenix 8 Series, while placing additional focus on extreme athletes and adventurers.

It boasts an industry-leading 320-hour battery life in GPS mode or up to 90 days in standard smartwatch mode.

This is ideal if you go on multi-day hikes and adventures, as you won’t need to worry about your Enduro 3’s battery dying.

Furthermore, it weighs only 63g – making it incredibly comfortable to wear on long outings.

Key features that will benefit adventurers using the Enduro 3 include:

• Robust Design – A 51mm titanium bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire lens, and an UltraFit nylon band are standard.
• Built-in LED Flashlight – Ideal for night-time adventures.
• Trail-ready – Gleam unrivalled VO2 insights, grade-adjusted pace, and map guides when on trail runs.
• Enhanced Navigation – Set a target destination for a run, hike, or bike ride, and receive dynamic routing that adapts to keep you on schedule.
