The latest version in the Fenix series, Garmin Genix 7 Pro, offers up to 18 days of battery life when smartwatch mode is turned on.<\/p>\n<p>We expect the Fenix 8 to continue this tradition, however, with advancements in power management functionalities and possibly larger battery capacities.<\/p>\n<p>With a little battery uplift, users might see even longer intervals between charges, especially for ultra-endurance athletes and extended expeditions.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of health and fitness features, we want to see the watch monitor more health metrics.<\/p>\n<p>The Genix 7 Pro currently has some health-related features like heart rate, fitness age, all-day stress, and hydration level monitoring. However, users will be looking forward to more enhancements around these health metrics and the potential inclusion of loss of pulse detection recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/google-intros-pixel-watch-3-with-larger-model-and-new-fitness-features\">introduced in Google Pixel Watch 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While we haven&#8217;t heard anything official about a solar model like we have in its predecessors, we would like to see the upcoming Fenix 8 wearing an AMOLED display supported by Garmin&#8217;s solar battery-extending power glass technology.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"garmin_fenix_8_price\">Garmin Fenix 8 Price<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>Expected Price: $1099.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The Garmin Fenix 8 price is rumored to start at $1099.99 for the 43mm Fenix 8, with the 47mm model at the same price point and the larger 51mm variant potentially reaching $1199.99.<\/p>\n<p>The Garmin Fenix series has always positioned itself in the premium segment of the smartwatch market, and the Fenix 8 is expected to continue this trend.
