Garmin Fenix 9 – Livestream Event and First Product Listings
As rumors of an imminent Fenix 9 launch have intensified since early August, it now appears that plenty is happening not only behind the scenes. In addition to an unannounced livestream event, the new flagship model has already surfaced in an online shop.
Livestream Event on August 23 at 1:00 PM
Without much fanfare, Garmin has scheduled a livestream titled “Garmin Event | Play Harder”, which is set to begin on Tuesday at 1:00 PM (CET). There is no official information about the event yet, but a look at the recent past gives reason for optimism: almost exactly one year ago, Garmin also unveiled the Fenix 8 and Enduro 3 during a livestream.
First Online Retailer Lists Numerous Models
In addition to the rumors and the upcoming livestream, the listing of numerous Garmin Fenix 9 models further increases the likelihood of an imminent launch.

Although no product descriptions are available yet, a few things can still be inferred from the limited information:
Standard, Pro, and Pro Solar Models
The online store lists both “Fenix 9” and “Fenix 9 Pro” models. Unfortunately, the naming is not entirely consistent, but the categorization is likely to follow the following numbering scheme:
Model Size Product No. Garmin Fenix 9 43 mm 010-04671 Garmin Fenix 9 47 mm 010-04672 Garmin Fenix 9 51 mm 010-04673 Garmin Fenix 9 Pro 43 mm 010-04335 Garmin Fenix 9 Pro 47 mm 010-04336 Garmin Fenix 9 Pro 51 mm 010-04337 Garmin Fenix 9 Pro Solar 47 mm 010-04338 Garmin Fenix 9 Pro Solar 51 mm 010-04339 Models with and without inReach Technology
As speculated in recent weeks, Garmin appears to offer the models both with and without inReach technology.
Fenix E 2 and Enduro 4
The absence of listings for the Fenix E 2 and Enduro 4 does not necessarily make an upcoming release any less likely. However, since the store itself does list the Enduro 3, the focus of the next product presentation could be exclusively on the Fenix 9. The livestream next Tuesday will most likely provide some clarity.
Garmin Fenix 9 Prices
The online store lists the prices of the Fenix 9 in Czech koruna, so converting them to the MSRP and comparing them with EUR prices is not entirely straightforward. However, a look at the current prices on Garmin’s Czech website suggests that all Fenix 9 models are likely to be priced somewhat higher. Given the rising costs of semiconductors of all kinds, a price adjustment would not be surprising.
The price differences between the individual models follow the familiar pricing structure, depending on the technology and materials chosen.
