Question 1

What new Garmin watches are coming in 2026?

Accepted Answer

The most likely Garmin watches for 2026 are the Forerunner 170 in May, the Forerunner 270 or 370 in May, the MARQ Gen 3 in Q3, the Enduro 4 in August, and the Lily 3. The Fenix 9 is expected in late 2026 or early 2027. Pro and LTE variants of existing 2025 models, including the Forerunner 575, the Forerunner 975, and the Venu X1 Pro, are also expected.

Question 2

When is the Garmin Fenix 9 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Fenix 9 is expected in late 2026 or early 2027. Garmin has historically followed a 12- to 18-month refresh cycle for the Fenix line, and the Fenix 8 Pro launched in September 2025. A September 2026 launch fits that pattern, with January 2027 as the latest credible window.

Question 3

When is the Garmin Edge 1060 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Edge 1060 is expected in June 2026. It will succeed the Edge 1050, which launched in June 2024. Garmin has now standardised the odd-shaped case format for premium Edge devices, and the 1060 is likely to introduce a more power-efficient display, with the technology trickling down to the Edge 560 and 860 in 2027.

Question 4

Is the Garmin CIRQA confirmed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Garmin CIRQA is leaked and treated as certain for Q2 2026. CIRQA is Garmin&#8217;s Whoop competitor, a 24/7 wearable smart band rather than a watch. It sits alongside the Index Sleep Monitor, not as a replacement, and is a separate product from the rumoured Garmin Muscle Battery.

Question 5

When is the Garmin Forerunner 170 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Forerunner 170 is expected in May 2026. It will replace the Forerunner 165, which launched in February 2024, and will sit at the entry level of Garmin&#8217;s running range. A two-size lineup is likely, with the FR170 at 43mm joined later in 2026 by an FR270 at 42mm and 47mm.

Question 6

When is the Garmin Enduro 4 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Enduro 4 is expected in August 2026, following the August 2024 launch of the Enduro 3. It will remain a MIP-display, solar-charged ultra and trail watch. The Enduro 4 is currently the only Garmin model likely to retain MIP technology rather than transition to AMOLED.

Question 7

When is the Garmin Lily 3 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Lily 3 is overdue and unleaked. The Lily 2 launched in January 2024, and the previous refresh cycle was approximately two years. A 2026 release is possible but not certain, and Garmin has shown limited commitment to the Lily line in recent product roadmaps.

Question 8

When is the Garmin MARQ Gen 3 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin MARQ Gen 3 is expected in Q3 2026, replacing the MARQ Gen 2, which launched in October 2022. MARQ is the only current Garmin model likely to receive microLED technology in the near term, given the panel&#8217;s energy-efficiency limitations in the Fenix 8 Pro.

Question 9

When is the Garmin Forerunner 370 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Forerunner 370, also referred to as the FR375, is expected in May 2026. It will replace the Forerunner 265 from March 2023 and is likely to ship in two sizes, 42mm and 47mm. Pro and LTE variants are expected to follow between later 2026 and 2027.

Question 10

When is the Polar Vantage V4 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Polar Vantage V4 is expected in 2026 and is likely to serve as Polar&#8217;s new hardware platform through 2028. It will succeed the Vantage V3 from 2023 and is the company&#8217;s primary competitor to Garmin&#8217;s Forerunner 970 and Fenix lines.

Question 11

When is the Garmin Edge Explore 3 release date?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Edge Explore 3 is expected in August 2026, succeeding the Edge Explore 2, released in July 2022. It will sit below the Edge 1060 in Garmin&#8217;s cycling computer range, targeting touring and casual riders rather than performance cyclists.

Question 12

What has Garmin launched in 2026 so far?

Accepted Answer

Garmin has confirmed three launches in 2026 to date: the Quatix 8 Pro on 13 January, the Varia RearVue 820 radar tail light on 3 February, and the D2 Mach 2 Pro on 14 April. The Garmin Muscle Battery and the CIRQA smart band are expected next.

Question 13

What is the Garmin Muscle Battery?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Muscle Battery is a new product hinted at by Garmin trademark filings in April 2026. Patent details suggest it requires dedicated hardware and is distinct from the CIRQA smart band. It is likely tied to Garmin&#8217;s wider move into muscle oxygen (SmO2) sensing, with a sensor expected in August 2026.

Question 14

Will the Garmin Fenix 9 have microLED?

Accepted Answer

The Garmin Fenix 9 may offer an improved microLED option, but no Fenix 9 model is expected to use microLED as standard. The technology in the Fenix 8 Pro failed to deliver the promised battery gains, and Garmin will adopt microLED more widely only once the panels achieve their stated energy-efficiency targets.

Question 15

Will Garmin release a smart ring in 2026?

Accepted Answer

No. Garmin is not expected to release a smart ring in 2026. The company has chosen to enter the 24/7 wearables market with the CIRQA smart band rather than a ring, leaving the smart ring category to Oura, Ultrahuman, RingConn and Samsung.
