Garmin is advancing the future of smartwatch technology with the launch of the latest addition to its premium GPS smartwatches, the fēnix 8 – MicroLED. It introduces a first-of-its-kind, high-resolution MicroLED display for superior readability in any environment.
“The fēnix 8 series is changing the game for smartwatches with its first-ever ultra-bright MicroLED display to a smartwatch so users can see their maps, stats, health and wellness metrics and more like never before,” notes Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing.
As Garmin’s flagship multisport outdoor smartwatch line, the fēnix® series has continued to advance wearable innovation and capabilities. The fēnix 8 MicroLED continues this legacy as the first wearable device with a MicroLED display.
First-of-its-kind MicroLED display
Garmin has pushed the boundaries of wearable technology by achieving a groundbreaking milestone: the successful integration and mass production of MicroLED displays in smartwatches. Offering remarkable brightness in exquisite detail, fēnix 8 MicroLED features over 400,000 individual LEDs delivering up to 4,500nits, making it the brightest smartwatch ever.
The new display delivers approximately 15% wider color gamut for richer, more accurate colors. Its ultra-wide viewing angle keeps images clear and sharp even from the side, with contrast up to six times greater. Enhanced burn-in resistance and durability triple the display’s toughness, significantly extending its lifespan. The result is a revolutionary display that produces rich colors and high pixel densities with wide viewing angles and superior readability—even in direct sunlight.
