Garmin fenix 8 Pro MicroLED — first MicroLED smartwatch with 4,500 nits
Garmin has expanded its fenix 8 Pro line with a new MicroLED model. The fenix 8 Pro MicroLED features a 1.4-inch MicroLED display capable of reaching up to 4,500 nits brightness, making it highly readable in direct sunlight. The watch uses a 51mm titanium case and promises improved power efficiency compared with AMOLED models, which should translate to longer battery life in always-on and GNSS modes.
