Garmin Fenix 9 Pro review: The best gets better as we put Garmin's new flagship through its paces in the French Alps
· By Endurance Wire
When the Fenix 8 finally dropped in 2024, it quickly earned a reputation as the best Garmin GPS watch money can buy, even if that meant parting with a lot of money. I gave it a thorough test on the 11-day trek to Everest Base Camp, and with Garmin ’s full suite of training features, a bright AMOLED display, microphone and speaker, plus an LED torch, there was no doubt that it was a big step up from the hugely popular Fenix 7. Last year, Garmin followed the Garmin Fenix 8 up with the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro , which took the winning formula and added built-in LTE cellular and inReach satellite connectivity for phone-free messaging and SOS alerts.
