Yesterday, Garmin announced its new fēnix 8 Pro watch. The biggest selling point? It connects to both cellular and satellite networks. That means users can make phone calls, trigger an SOS, and have two-way text communications with friends, family, and emergency responders all from their wrist—off-grid and without their phone. Even with all these battery-sucking features, Garmin claims that the fēnix 8 Pro will pack an incredible 27 days of battery life in smartwatch-mode. Also announced was the fēnix 8 Pro MicroLED, which has the same connectivity features but a much brighter screen—the brightest on the market according to Garmin—and a battery that still lasts up to 10 days.
