Garmin's new sports watch may imminently debut, hinted by observant users following a distinctive clue.
# Garmin's Latest Mystery: What Could IPH-04968 Be?
The excitement among Garmin enthusiasts is palpable as rumors swirl about a new product in the pipeline. The cat's out of the bag, thanks to a keen-eyed user who spotted an FCC filing.
Over the weekend, the5krunner stumbled upon a telltale sign - a new FCC filing indicating that a Garmin device has just passed safety testing. This implies that the product is ready to hit the market soon.
While the excitement is real, things are shrouded in mystery, as the only thing we know for sure is the generic filing number: IPH-04968. People are buzzing about the possibilities, with some speculating that it could be the long-delayed Forerunner 975.
But are we jumping the gun? Experts aren't too optimistic about this theory. The5krunner speculates that it could be either a Forerunner watch or an Edge cycling computer. While a new Forerunner would undoubtedly excite fans, the Edge seems more likely based on the documentation, which hints at a rectangular device.
As for the release date, things aren't looking promising for the Forerunner 975. It was initially expected to drop in May, but our sister site, TechRadar, has cast doubt on this possibility. According to Fitness & Wearables writer Steve Warwick's recent article on TechRadar, a new Forerunner in the next ten days would be a big surprise and a slim prospect.
The new device could also be the anticipated D2 Mach 2 aviation watch or the Quantix 8, a specialized marine watch designed for sailors. Let the guessing game continue until Garmin spills the beans!
