Garmin has just announced the Fenix 8 Pro of Smartwatches series, which adds cellular connection and satellites via the company’s Inreech technology. Fenix 8 Pro also adds a mini -width version that gets the maximum amount of 4,500 groups. Hunting is watches will Start At a price of $ 1,199.99, with the mini version for 1,999.99 dollars.
The big news here is to add a cellular connection and satellite channels means that Fenix 8 Pro users will not need to carry their phones. However, there are a few warnings as Garmin will use LTE-M networks. According to its website, this means that these hours will have “a data connection but not a phone number, and it cannot make traditional voice calls or send SMS messages.” For these capabilities, you will have to call either last Fenix 8 Pro users or people who have downloaded Garmin Messenger appWhich was presented last year.
However, cellular connection allows you to send 30 seconds vote messages via the Messenger app, allow users to send Livetrack’s post, and access weather forecast in actual time. Likewise, satellite communication will allow users to send and receive text messages via Garmin Messenger and Check-ins. SOS requests can be sent via both satellites and cellular via Garmin response centerWhich will then reinstall this information to emergency services, search and rescue organizations, and emergency communication destinations.
Of course, cellular and satellite connection will require an active subscription, which will start from $ 7.99 per month. Natalie Miller, Garmin Natalie Miller, told freedom Inreach Activation fees for Fenix 8 Pro will be waived, and there will be a 30 -day free experience for users for the first time.

Smartwatch has been one of the fields in which Garmin fought to compete with competitors such as Apple Watch Ultra or Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. While Garmin has a better reputation among the athletes of durability, training features and battery life, Apple and Samsung can offer phone free experiences and safety assurances thanks to cellular. The Garmin application here is not perfect, but it is logical due to the difficulty facing smaller companies when negotiating deals with transport companies. This method often depends on the current infrastructure of Garmin and begins at least to treat this gap. Previously, the only Garmin watches that made any connection were Yereunner 945 LTE, which was released in 2021, and followed her children.
On the side of the devices of things, the Fenix 8 Pro series will come with two sizes: 47 mm and 51 mm. OLED versions of watches will get a battery life of about 27 days. It will cost 47 mm 1,199.99 dollars and cost 51 mm 1,299.99 dollars. The mini version of $ 1,999.99 will not be available only with a size of 51 mm, and it will reach 10 days of the battery life. All three hours will be available from September 8.
