Like all Garmin Fenix models before it, this one's built for athletes and outdoor adventurers who want to take on everything from ultramarathons to mountain climbing to open-water diving.
The new Fenix starts at $999.99 and goes up to $1,099.99 for the 51mm size.
Garmin did not disclose the specific number of nits for the Fenix 8's AMOLED screen, but it does say the Fenix 9 Pro version reaches up to 3,000 nits of brightness, so a bit of math suggests the Fenix 8 came in below that.
The Fenix 9 doubles the Fenix 8's capacity to 64GB, letting you download twice as many apps and store up to 7,000 songs from your Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music accounts.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Like all Garmin Fenix models before it, this one's built for athletes and outdoor adventurers who want to take on everything from ultramarathons to mountain climbing to open-water diving.
For instance, during the week that the Fenix 9 launched, you could get the 43mm Fenix 8 on sale for $850. The new Fenix starts at $999.99 and goes up to $1,099.99 for the 51mm size.
The smartwatch features an AMOLED display that Garmin says is "twice as bright" as the Fenix 8's. As a refresher, the Fenix 8 was the first of its family to feature an AMOLED panel (the Fenix 7 and 7 Pro used "Sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP)" displays).
Garmin did not disclose the specific number of nits for the Fenix 8's AMOLED screen, but it does say the Fenix 9 Pro version reaches up to 3,000 nits of brightness, so a bit of math suggests the Fenix 8 came in below that. For context, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Pixel Watch 5 both go up to 3,000 nits at peak brightness as well.
When it comes to the case, the standard Fenix 9 keeps the same construction as the Fenix 8 had in its higher-end models, pairing a titanium bezel with a sapphire lens.
The Fenix 9 doubles the Fenix 8's capacity to 64GB, letting you download twice as many apps and store up to 7,000 songs from your Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music accounts.
When it comes to map performance, Garmin also states that panning is up to 30 percent faster on the new Fenix 9, mostly thanks to a more powerful map engine.

that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
