[Mint Kobe 6F GARMIN] The top choice for your first smartwatch. The GARMIN “fēnix 9” series is finally here!
NEWS

Hello! This is the GARMIN Kobe Sannomiya Store.
Yesterday, August 25, Garmin finally announced its latest flagship model, the "fēnix 9" series!
Are you thinking, “Since this is the top-of-the-line professional model, it might be a bit too advanced for me right now…”? Actually, according to data on buyers of the previous model, more than half were new customers who chose it as their “first Garmin” or “first smartwatch”!
We’d like to introduce the fēnix 9 series’ overwhelming appeal—the very reason it’s the top choice for first-time users.
3 Reasons Why the fēnix 9 Series Is the Best Choice for Your First Garmin
① An exceptional battery that frees you from the stress of charging
o Battery life is the biggest concern with smartwatches. With the fēnix 9 series, you can get up to 48 days of use in smartwatch mode (for the 51mm Dual Power model)!
[Customer Feedback] “My smartwatch used to need charging every other day, but now it lasts 48 days,” and we’ve received numerous comments from customers expressing their surprise at no longer having to charge it every day.
② The luxurious look of full titanium that complements a business suit
o The “fēnix 9 Pro” model features a full titanium case and bezel—a first for the series. Despite its substantial appearance, the device weighs around 50 grams, depending on the model!
[Customer Feedback] “It looks great whether I’m dressed casually or formally, so I wear it every single day without fail.” The design, which works equally well for both work and leisure, has been highly praised.
③ Its value as a "decision-making tool" for improving daily performance
o It features a bright, easy-to-read AMOLED display (the 51mm Pro model has the series’ largest screen at 1.5 inches).
oIt does more than just measure data; it serves as a foundation for improving tomorrow’s work performance and as a “basis for decision-making” to eliminate mental fluctuations.
[Customer Testimonials] “Being able to visually assess my sleep and stress levels is having a positive impact on my health management,” and this dramatically improves the accuracy of my daily health monitoring.
