Mysterious new Garmin smartwatch spotted in FCC filings

A clandestine Garmin smartwatch has surfaced in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filings, as discovered by tech enthusiasts at Gadgets and Wearables. The device bears the model number A05170 and is cataloged as a portable digital transceiver, though the SAR evaluation report designates it as a wrist-worn gadget. This revelation is somewhat unexpected, considering Garmin has previously unveiled the Cirqa Smart Band, a wearable fitness tracker.

The smartwatch in question boasts an impressive array of features, including LTE and satellite connectivity, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, ANT/ANT+, and NFC capabilities.
