The Garmin Fenix 9 Pro is the latest version of Garmin's top outdoor smartwatch, designed for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. It features a titanium case, a brighter OLED screen, and better overall performance. The watch is available in seven models, with three different case sizes (43 mm, 47 mm, and 51 mm), and includes optional inReach connectivity, which allows for satellite messaging, and a Solar version that can recharge using sunlight. The 47 mm inReach model without solar charging was tested, with prices ranging from 1099 € for the 43 mm model without inReach to 1299 € for the 51 mm model with inReach.
The Fenix 9 Pro is thinner than its predecessor, measuring 13.8 mm compared to the 16 mm thickness of the Fenix 8 Pro. It is waterproof up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming, diving, or other water-based activities. The watch has a 1.4-inch OLED display with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels and can reach a brightness of up to 3000 cd/m², which is ideal for use in bright sunlight. It includes a silicone strap, a flashlight, five buttons, and a touchscreen for easy navigation.
The Fenix 9 Pro is equipped with several sensors, such as a barometric altimeter, compass, heart rate monitor, dual frequency GNSS, GPS, SpO2 (blood oxygenation) sensor, and a temperature sensor. It has 64 GB of internal storage for maps and music and works with both Android and iOS devices. It also includes a microphone and speaker, allowing users to make calls, record voice notes, and use voice assistants.
New features include the "Epic" function, which lets users log their outdoor activities and combine multiple physical activities into one record. The watch offers detailed training analysis, including data on fitness level, condition, and training progress. It syncs with the Garmin Connect app, which has five sections for managing data, challenges, calendars, Garmin Coach, and settings. The Fenix 9 Pro has a battery life of up to 13 days when used for continuous heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, notifications, and one hour of GPS per day. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully recharge, making it ideal for long outdoor excursions where precise data collection is essential.
