Garmin Enduro 4 Still MIA After Fenix 9 Launch: What Ultra-Endurance Runners Should Buy Now
More than five weeks after Garmin's 'Play Harder' event launched the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro, the Enduro 4 remains unannounced. FCC filings, Indonesian telecom certifications, and Garmin Connect code all confirm it exists — but Garmin hasn't said a word. Here's what ultra runners should do while they wait.

Where is the Garmin Enduro 4? Garmin launched the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro on August 25 at its "Play Harder" event, but the Enduro 4 — the ultra-endurance watch that leaked alongside them in Garmin Connect code — was conspicuously absent. Five weeks later, Garmin still hasn't announced it.
Evidence It Exists
- Garmin Connect code: "Enduro_4" with device ID 5179 and codename "GOBI" found in Connect 5.26 and 5.27
- FCC filing: Model A05216 cleared the FCC in June 2026
- Indonesian telecom certification: Filed on the same day as the Fenix 9 launch
- Russian EAEU filing: Registered July 23, updated August 31 alongside the tactix 9
What to Buy Now
If you need an ultra-endurance watch today, the Garmin Enduro 3 is still excellent and may see discounts during Prime Big Deal Days (October 6–7). The Apple Watch Ultra 3 at $620 offers 50+ hours of battery. For the longest battery life at the lowest price, the Garmin Venu 4 delivers 12 days in smartwatch mode. The Enduro 4 pattern (August 2022, August 2024) suggests an autumn standalone launch is most likely — check back soon.
