Garmin Clears 5 Watch Filings, Pointing to 4 September Launches and a 2027 Fenix 9 Pro

Summary
Five Garmin model numbers cleared regulators since June, and the filing pattern points to a September launch for Enduro 4, Fenix 9 in AMOLED and MIP-Solar versions, and Fenix E 2.
A05170, approved by the FCC on Aug. 5, is the only filing with LTE-M and NB-NTN satellite radios, making it the strongest candidate for a separate premium Fenix 9 Pro arriving later, likely before its Feb. 1, 2027 confidentiality deadline.
A05216 is most likely Enduro 4 because it appeared alongside an "Enduro_4" software reference and lacks any cellular or satellite bands, undercutting expectations that the Enduro line would add satellite messaging.
A05419 and A05420 fit Garmin's past practice of splitting AMOLED and MIP-Solar versions into separate filings, suggesting standard Fenix 9 keeps a MIP-Solar option rather than going AMOLED-only.
The timing also matches Garmin's recent cadence: Enduro 3, Fenix 8 and Fenix E launched together in late August 2024, while a same-day base-and-Pro Fenix release has little recent precedent.
