3 new features I want to see from Garmin in 2026

Garmin has had a good 2025, thanks to the release of new Forerunners, Instinct, Venu, Vivoactive and the Fenix 8 Pro series of watches. Its entire range has effectively gotten a revamp.

With 2026 just around the corner, I've been thinking about my wish list for 2026's best Garmin watches. Not necessarily the models (although I'm sure the Fenix 9 is probably on the horizon), but the features those models will contain.

I've whittled down the options, and you can read about them below. What Garmin has in store, only they know, but I hope they'll make some bold decisions so we're not discussing the same old problems next year.
