Garmin could be about to announce two brand new fitness-focused smartwatches, according to the latest murmurings across the internet. Specifically, an official tease from the company suggests a new Forerunner model while an unofficial leak could signal a new Venu.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the official news first. According to an official glimpse from Garmin shared on Chinese social media<\/a>, we could be looking at a new Forerunner model. The outline of a very Forerunner-esque watch can be seen alongside a date: July 22. Which is tomorrow.<\/p>\n

According to fitness tipster the5krunner<\/a>, this could mean one of a few things. Either it’s a new China-only model (unlikely) or a region-specific version of a Forerunner that Garmin already makes. Or, failing that, it could of course be a brand new model that we’ll get first eyes on this week.<\/p>\n

Alongside the image outline, the tease has a “1XXX” number alongside it. If that’s the product number, it’s a strange one \u2014 Garmin usually favors a three digit numbering schema. Alternatively, it’s the price of the device in yuan. Which, even if it’s 1999 yuan ($278 \/ \u00a3207), would make it an affordable Forerunner compared to the other models.<\/p>\n

Either way, we won’t have long to wait to find out if there is a new model coming and whether or not it’ll shape up alongside the best Garmin watches<\/a> already out there.<\/p>\n

A rumored Venu 4?<\/p>\n

It’s been a minute since Garmin released its last Venu watch, the Garmin Venu 3<\/a> back in 2023. So it makes sense the brand would be thinking about a follow-up and according to a report from Notebookcheck, we’ve just seen our first mention of it.<\/p>\n

A revised Japanese user manual for the Venu 3, published earlier this month, contains a reference to the Venu 4 when discussing the brand’s paid Golf Membership service. The reference states: “In addition, Venu 4 device users can subscribe to Garmin Golf Membership to use course layouts (2nd generation) and PlaysLike distances on the device, and hazard\/layup information can be overlaid on the map.” <\/p>\n

Which, of course, tells us nothing about the specs or the timeline of the device, other than it likely will exist and probably be useful on the golf course.<\/p>\n

The Venu 3 was released in August on 2023, so if Garmin wants to keep to the same release cadence, then maybe we’ll get more word about the Venu 4 in the coming weeks and possibly a reveal next month.<\/p>\n
