Next-generation products

Garmin Forerunner 980

This estimate follows the flagship 935 → 945 → 955 → 965 → 970 lineage. It excludes the 945 LTE refresh and entry-level watches. The unusually short 955-to-965 gap makes a simple average a rough guide.

Garmin Forerunner 580

This estimate follows the running and triathlon tier from 245 → 255 → 265 → 570. Treat that lineage as an editorial choice: the 570 changed the tier’s numbering and positioning. We do not copy the longer flagship history used for the 980.

Garmin Enduro 4

Garmin Enduro 4 was announced on 2026-10-06. Launch price: $899.99. Availability: 2026-10-09. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

Garmin fēnix 10

The numbered main generations set this estimate. The 5 Plus, 7 Pro and 8 Pro launches are excluded. The 9 and 9 Pro arrived together; they count once.

Garmin Forerunner 80 / 180

The 55 and 165 occupy different entry tiers. Their dates do not form three consecutive generations of one watch. The 70/170 pair also changed the numbering. A combined cadence forecast would be misleading.

Garmin Instinct 4

This follows the three main Instinct generations. Solar, 2X and Crossover releases are excluded; they are variants rather than three extra full generations.

Garmin Edge 1060

Garmin Edge 1060 was announced on 2026-10-20. Launch price: $799.99. Availability: 2026-10-23. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

Garmin Edge 560 / 860

The last three paired 5xx/8xx launches provide the estimate. Earlier 520 and 820 launches are not treated as successive generations of one model.

Garmin Venu 5

This follows numbered Venu generations. Venu 2 Plus, the square Sq watches and Venu X1 are separate branches.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Garmin vivoactive 7

The long early gaps and shorter 5-to-6 interval make the average uneven. A launch window is a historical estimate, not a commitment to an annual schedule.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Garmin Descent Mk4

Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 form the flagship dive-computer lineage. The smaller Mk2 S and lower-priced G-series do not set this cadence.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Garmin inReach Mini 4

The three Mini launches are the history here. Messenger, GPSMAP and Montana devices are different formats. Hardware pricing must be considered separately from satellite service fees.

Garmin quatix 9

The numbered 6/7/8 generations set the estimate. The January 2026 quatix 8 Pro refresh is excluded; buyers should also compare that current variant.

Garmin MARQ Gen 3

Garmin MARQ Gen 3 was announced on 2026-10-13. Launch price: $2,500–$3,100. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

Garmin Approach S72

Garmin Approach S72 was announced on 2026-10-06. Launch price: $799.99. Availability: 2026-10-09. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

Next Garmin HRM

HRM 200 and HRM 600 are budget and premium straps released in the same year. They are not successive generations of HRM-Pro. No model name or reliable cycle follows from this mixed history.

Next Garmin Varia radar

RearVue 820 is already a February 2026 product. Camera-equipped RCT models and radar-only RVR models occupy different branches; this page does not combine their dates into a successor forecast.

Next Garmin Rally power meter

The original Rally 100 and 200 versions launched together as single- and dual-sided variants. Counting them as two generations would create a zero-month cycle.

Garmin D2 Mach 3

Mach 2 Pro is a refresh of Mach 2. Air X15 is a separate aviation tier, so these three records do not establish three comparable main generations.

Garmin tactix 9

Only tactix 8 is included in the verified release data. We do not borrow fenix cycles for a tactical variant.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Garmin vívosmart 6

Only vívosmart 5 is recorded here. Hardware IDs previously assigned to a 6 have been corrected in some reporting.

Garmin Forerunner 370

A possible new intermediate tier is not the same lineage as either the 570 successor or entry-level 170.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Garmin CIRQA Smart Band Pro

The regular CIRQA band launched in July 2026. A Pro name in software does not supply a Pro hardware release date.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Garmin Lily 3

Lily 2 Active is a variant in the grouped record. Two numbered generations are too few for a cycle model.

Garmin Venu Sq 3

The square Venu branch has two releases. The round Venu 4 and X1 launches do not set its clock.

Garmin Venu X2

X1 is a new rectangular branch. X1 Pro and X2 would represent different kinds of update; neither is assumed from the name alone.

Garmin Bounce 3

The two kids-watch launches do not establish a repeatable three-generation cadence.

Garmin Edge Explore 3 / Explore 3 Plus

Garmin Edge Explore 3 / Explore 3 Plus was announced on 2026-10-20. Launch prices for the listed models: $399.99–$499.99. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

Next Garmin inReach Messenger

Messenger Plus adds a different communication tier. Two releases do not establish a cycle for the next messenger.

Next Garmin Montana

The large handheld family has two recorded generations. Watch cycles do not apply to this format.

Next Garmin GPSMAP handheld

One H1/H1i Plus generation is recorded. A handheld successor cannot be inferred from the inReach Mini cycle.

Next Garmin eTrex Touch

One release is recorded in this dataset. Older eTrex models are not silently counted as verified history.

Next Garmin Index Sleep Monitor

The sleep armband is a different product from CIRQA. One launch gives no repeatable successor cycle.

Next Garmin Instinct Crossover

The AMOLED refresh is a distinct hybrid-watch branch, not a fourth main Instinct generation.

Next Garmin Descent G-series

The G-series is the lower-priced dive branch. Its next model cannot be predicted from Mk3 timing.

Garmin fēnix E 2

The E is a lower-priced outdoor branch with one launch. It does not inherit the flagship fenix cycle.

Next Garmin Approach S50

The S44 and S50 are golf-watch tiers, while G20 Solar is a handheld. Their shared launch cannot supply successive watch generations.

Next Garmin Approach G20 Solar

G20 Solar is the handheld in the January 2025 launch. S44/S50 golf-watch updates are not evidence for its successor.

COROS Pace 5

Only the numbered base Pace watches set the estimate. Pace 4 Editions and Pace 4 Pro do not reset it. The Pro successor has its own page.

COROS Pace 5 Pro

The Pro branch has two launches, despite Pace 4 Pro being grouped under Pace in the dataset. A two-point history is too short for this cadence model.

COROS Apex 5

Apex numbering already skipped 3. This uses main generations and excludes the original Apex Pro refresh and SATISFY edition. A future name could break the numbering again.

COROS Vertix 4

The three recorded Vertix launches include the 2S refresh. That makes this a family estimate, not a clean full-generation cycle. The reported next name skips Vertix 3.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

COROS Orizon

Nomad is shown as a current outdoor reference, not an Orizon predecessor. A new product name has no historical release cadence.

2 evidence entries · reviewed 2026-10-05

COROS Nomad 2

One Nomad launch is recorded. Orizon may be another line entirely; a trademark does not establish it as a Nomad replacement.

COROS Dura 2 Solar

COROS Dura 2 Solar was announced on 2026-10-22. Launch price: $499+. Availability: 2026-11-03. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

COROS Pod 3

Two foot-pod launches are recorded. The changes between them do not establish a recurring hardware schedule.

Next COROS Heart Rate Monitor

One armband generation is recorded. New watch sensors or firmware are not evidence of new armband hardware.

Suunto Race 3

The full-size Race has two generations. Race S is a smaller branch, so counting it between Race and Race 2 would make the flagship cadence appear artificially short.

4 evidence entries · reviewed 2026-10-05

Suunto Race 3S

Suunto Race 3S was announced on 2026-10-15. Launch price: $599. Availability: 2026-10-29. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

4 evidence entries · reviewed 2026-10-05

Suunto Vertical 3

There are two main Vertical generations. The 90th Anniversary edition changes the finish, not the generation count.

Suunto Run 3

Run 2 is already recorded as a September 2026 launch. A third generation has no established multi-cycle history.

Suunto Ocean 2

Ocean is a dive-capable product with one recorded launch. Race and Vertical release intervals are not a substitute for an Ocean history.

Suunto Core 3

Core 2 is a July 2026 release in our data. This short history cannot establish a date or specifications for a Core 3.

Apple Watch Ultra 5

The numbered Ultra generations set this estimate. The black titanium Ultra 2 finish is excluded. An annual pattern is not a confirmed launch schedule.

Apple screenless fitness band

Ultra 4 is shown as a current Apple fitness reference, not a predecessor to a screenless band. A new product category has no release cadence.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Amazfit T-Rex 4

This follows the numbered base T-Rex line. Pro, Ultra and Dual Solar are separate branches. The September 2026 Dual Solar launch is not treated as a T-Rex 4.

Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 3

The Ultra branch has two launches. The newer Dual Solar is not a numbered Ultra successor.

Amazfit Cheetah 3

Cheetah 2 Pro and Ultra are companion tiers of one generation. Counting them separately, or the original Square separately, would overstate the number of cycles.

Amazfit Balance 4

The three numbered generations set the estimate. Balance Ultra is excluded. The brief 2-to-3 gap makes the simple average especially uncertain.

Amazfit Active 4

This follows the numbered round Active line. Active Edge, Square and Max are excluded because they target different uses or formats.

Amazfit Bip 7

Bip Max is a larger parallel model. It does not create a third numbered generation after Bip 6 in the recorded history.

Amazfit Falcon 2

One Falcon generation is recorded. Changes to T-Rex Ultra do not establish a Falcon replacement.

Next Amazfit T-Rex Pro

The Pro branch has two recorded launches separated by a numbering jump. T-Rex Dual Solar is a different format, not a numbered Pro replacement.

Next Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar

Dual Solar is already a September 2026 release. One launch gives no cycle for another solar model.

Amazfit Active Max 2

Max is the large-format Active branch. The numbered round Active models are not its previous generations.

Next Amazfit Active Square

The Square model is a parallel format. Round Active and Max releases do not provide its successor cycle.

Amazfit Balance Ultra 2

The Ultra tier launched alongside the 2026 Balance range. It has one recorded generation.

Amazfit Bip Max 2

Max is a larger Bip branch introduced in 2026. Bip 5 and 6 are not earlier Max generations.

Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT 4

The three BOLT launches set the estimate. The ACE and ROAM are separate cycling-computer tiers.

Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM 4

The three ROAM launches set the estimate. A BOLT refresh does not advance the ROAM generation count.

Wahoo ELEMNT ACE 2

ACE is a new flagship branch with one recorded launch. BOLT and ROAM cycles do not provide an ACE 2 date.

Wahoo KICKR 7

This follows the direct-drive flagship KICKR. CORE, SNAP, MOVE, ROLLR, CLIMB and HEADWIND are excluded. The 7 label is provisional.

Wahoo KICKR CORE 3

The CORE branch has two launches. The original long gap does not establish a regular schedule for a third generation.

Next Wahoo KICKR BIKE

SHIFT and PRO are different tiers. Their launches do not establish three sequential generations of one bike.

Wahoo KICKR RUN 2

One treadmill generation is recorded. Bike-trainer refreshes cannot predict a RUN 2 release.

Next Wahoo TRACKR sensors

Heart Rate, Radar and Speed are three different sensors. The family is active in the dataset even though an average-gap heuristic can wrongly call it discontinued.

Next Wahoo SPEEDPLAY power pedals

Single and Dual describe measurement configurations, not a sequence of generations. No cycle estimate follows from the two launches.

Polar Vantage V4

The verified announcement dates yield gaps of 25 and 36 months. Predicting V3 from the first gap would have missed by 11 months. The estimate stays visible after it passes.

Polar Vantage M4

The M lineage is separate from Vantage V. Only its three recorded releases set this estimate.

Polar Grit X3

The base Grit X2 and flagship X2 Pro are separate tiers. Combining their dates into one sequence would confuse a compact alternative with a full-generation replacement.

Polar Ignite 4

Three numbered Ignite generations are recorded, but the latest is November 2022. A missed cadence window does not prove the line is discontinued or that an Ignite 4 is imminent.

Polar Pacer X

Pacer and Pacer Pro are two tiers of the 2022 generation. The reported Pacer X app name does not establish a direct Pro replacement or a recurring cycle.

1 evidence entry · reviewed 2026-10-05

Polar Street X2

Street X is already a March 2026 product. It opens a new line with one generation; this page does not inherit Pacer or Vantage launch intervals.

Next Polar Loop

The 2025 screen-free Loop is the current product. Older products sharing the Loop name are not treated as comparable generations of this design.

Next Polar heart-rate sensors

H10 is a chest strap; OH1 and Verity Sense are optical armbands. These are different sensor types, so their combined dates do not define one successor.

Polar Grit X3 Pro

The Pro outdoor branch has two generations. The compact Grit X2 is a parallel base model, not a third Pro generation.

WHOOP 6.0

The 3.0/4.0/5.0 launches set this estimate. MG is a companion tier of 5.0. Membership tiers and software updates do not create new hardware generations.

Oura Ring 5

Oura Ring 5 was announced on 2026-05-28. Launch price: $399–$499. Availability: 2026-06-04. See the official product and published specifications. Earlier rumors are archived below.

Oura Ring 6

Ring 5 is already announced and shipping. The Ring 6 estimate uses that verified release, with Gen 3 corrected to October 2021. The shorter 4-to-5 gap makes older averages less dependable.
