Garmin is readying a bunch of new smartwatches. The company hasn’t officially announced anything but German tech news site WinFuture recently shared a huge collection of leaked images of four new models. We have images of the Fenix 7 Pro, Fenix 7X Pro, Epix Pro Gen 2, and Approach S70 in multiple colors. Specs and other technical details are mostly missing but we get a close look at the design of all four upcoming Garmin smartwatches in this massive leak.
Garmin has two new Fenix 7 series models in the pipeline
Starting with the two new Fenix 7 series models, it appears Garmin will follow the same strategy of launching the devices in Solar and Sapphire Solar versions along with a base variant. As you might have guessed, the Solar edition features a solar panel to charge the battery using sunlight. It helps extend the battery life of the device. The Sapphire Solar version adds sapphire glass on top of the display for a premium finish. Sapphire is also stronger than regular glass.
Unfortunately, with technical details missing, it’s unclear how the Fenix 7 Pro and Fenix 7X Pro will differ. Garmin will probably equip one model with a bigger battery and more powerful internals. The report doesn’t mention multiple sizes but if history is any indication, we should get a few size options for both models. The Fenix 6 Pro series and the Fenix 7 came in 42mm, 47mm, and 51mm sizes. There will also be multiple color options for the new watches.

The Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 could be a $1,000 watch
Coming to the Epix Pro Gen 2, WinFuture does confirm that Garmin will offer this watch in 42mm, 47mm, and 51mm sizes. It will also be available in multiple colors, plus a Sapphire version. The publication adds that this watch will come pretty expensive, possibly starting at around €900 (almost a thousand dollars). That’s for the base model, of course. The biggest version with sapphire glass may cost well above $100.
Interestingly, there have been rumors about an Epix 2 Pro in the past. This watch is said to cost upwards of 900 euros too: €950 (around $1,040) for the 42mm version, €1,050 (around $1,150) for the 47mm version, and €1,150 (around $1,260) for the 52mm version. It’s unclear whether these two are the same watch or if Garmin is readying two watches with identical names. In either case, we hope the company will add cellular connectivity this time around. The Garmin Epix 2 lacked it.

The Garmin Approach S70 is for golfers
The Approach S70 is seemingly Garmin’s latest offering for golfers. This model should come equipped with some exclusive apps and watch faces that help you while golfing. You will get information about golf courses, wind speed, and more directly on your wrist. The Garmin Approach S70 will also come in at least three colors but there’s no mention of size variants. With rumors suggesting a June launch for some or all of these watches, you can expect more leaks in the coming weeks.
