Garmin has launched its new Fenix 8 Pro smartwatch, featuring built-in inReach satellite and cellular connectivity. This device allows users to send location check-ins and text messages via satellite using the Garmin Messenger app. Additionally, cellular connectivity enables phone calls, voice messages, and LiveTrack location sharing. The Fenix 8 Pro also includes an SOS feature that contacts the Garmin Response center for emergencies. This center can coordinate with emergency contacts and rescue teams. The watch boasts a bright 4,500-nit microLED display. The Fenix 8 Pro will be available starting September 8. Pricing begins at $1,200 for the AMOLED model and $2,000 for the microLED version. A paid inReach satellite plan, starting at $7.99 per month, is required for full functionality. This release comes just before Apple's anticipated launch of the Apple Watch Ultra 3.
