Garmin Enduro 4 May Be on the Way After Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro Launch
Garmin has only just introduced the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro to the global market, but signs are already pointing to another premium outdoor smartwatch in development. A newly certified Garmin device has surfaced in Indonesia, fueling speculation that the long-awaited Garmin Enduro 4 could be getting closer to launch.
The timing is especially interesting. Garmin’s latest Fenix 9 series was announced during the company’s recent “Play Harder” event, with availability expected to begin from August 28. However, while the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro were the stars of the event, there was no official mention of a new Enduro model.
That has not stopped fresh evidence from emerging. A mysterious Garmin device carrying the model number A05197 has reportedly received certification from Indonesia’s SDPPI regulatory body. The certification was issued on August 25, the same day Garmin revealed the Fenix 9 lineup.
Although the listing does not confirm the product’s retail name, Garmin’s certification patterns offer an important clue. The company usually classifies its premium adventure-focused watches under its outdoor product category, which suggests A05197 is unlikely to be a budget or mid-range wearable. Instead, it could be another high-end model built for endurance athletes, outdoor explorers, and users who want extended battery life.
That is why many Garmin fans believe this could be the Enduro 4, the successor to the Enduro 3. The Enduro series is known for prioritizing stamina, rugged design, advanced fitness tracking, and long-distance outdoor performance. If the new device is indeed the Garmin Enduro 4, it would likely sit alongside the Fenix 9 family as a specialist model focused on ultra-endurance use.
Early rumors suggest the Garmin Enduro 4 may feature a memory-in-pixel display, often called MiP, along with solar charging support. That combination would make sense for the Enduro line, as MiP screens are valued for outdoor readability and energy efficiency, while solar charging can help extend battery life during long hikes, races, and expeditions.
The rumored setup would also place the Enduro 4 close to the Fenix 9 Pro Solar in terms of core technology. However, Garmin could still differentiate the Enduro 4 with a lighter build, longer battery life, endurance-focused software features, or design choices tailored to ultrarunners and adventure athletes.
For now, Garmin has not confirmed the Enduro 4, and the Indonesian certification does not reveal specifications, pricing, release date, or design details. Still, the appearance of a new model number so soon after the Fenix 9 launch strongly suggests Garmin’s premium smartwatch roadmap is far from finished.
If the Garmin Enduro 4 is real, it could become one of the most anticipated outdoor smartwatches for users who want serious battery life, advanced training tools, reliable GPS features, and a rugged watch built for extreme conditions. More details are likely to emerge as the device moves through additional certifications or appears in future retailer and support listings.
