(Pocket-lint) - An inventory for the Garmin Forerunner 955 has appeared on the corporate's Australian web site, resulting in hypothesis an official announcement is pending.
As we noticed previous to the launch of the Garmin Venu 2 Plus - and related leaks for the Fenix 7 - a half-complete webpage detailing the unconfirmed working watch was noticed by eagle-eyed customers of a Garmin subreddit.
The web page, naturally, has now been eliminated, and was additionally performed so earlier than it might be cached by Google. In contrast to different leaks, this itemizing additionally did not showcase the gadget in photos, which principally leaves us with the near-confirmation that the Forerunner 945 successor will certainly be a 955 mannequin.
In fact, with Garmin refreshing nearly each different Forerunner gadget over the previous couple of years, which additionally included an LTE model of the Forerunner 945 within the US final yr, a new-gen model of the flagship working watch was at all times more likely to land within the close to future.
Other than the identify, the itemizing does additionally showcase the very fact it's going to ship with LTE and that the bundle will price AU$1,049 (roughly translating to $750 / £550). Usually, Garmin provides its top-end Forerunner with a chest strap coronary heart price monitor for improved accuracy.
Because the LTE mannequin of the 945 did not launch in Australia, this means that the 955 will include the function as customary (or maybe simply embody the choice in additional areas), whereas the value improve stays just about consistent with what we'd count on, and what we noticed from the Fenix 7's bounce. At the moment, the 945 LTE mannequin is obtainable for $649.99 with out the bundled-in chest strap, so it is honest to estimate a 'customary' 955 LTE mannequin would attain nearer to $700.
Worth hypothesis apart, thoughts, it is necessary to do not forget that we additionally do not know when Garmin will announce an official launch date for the next-gen working watch - if it does in any respect.
If recently-launched Garmin watches are something to go by, although, it is seemingly extra particulars will emerge quickly. We'll replace this piece with all the newest data.
