The company has scheduled a live YouTube event, dubbed a \"groundbreaking launch event,\" though details are still sparse. We know one thing for certain: today will reveal something new. Rumor has it that the focus will be on expanding Garmin's watch lineup, with the Fenix 9 being the most likely candidate.\n\nThe event, called Garmin Play Harder, will air on YouTube at various times depending on the viewer's location: 4am PT (7am ET), 12pm BST, and 9pm AEST. TechRadar will provide live updates throughout the broadcast, along with any rumors and reactions after the show.\n\nMatt Evans, TechRadar's Senior Fitness & Wearables Editor, is on hand to guide readers through the event. He expects the Fenix 9 to be unveiled, but cautions that anything could be announced, from Edge cycling computers to InReach communicators. As someone who has covered Garmin extensively, Evans is particularly excited about this being the first big YouTube live event product launch from the brand.\n\nGarmin's announcement page on its website reads: \"Your playground is calling. Now's the time to answer.\" The page encourages users to set a reminder for the 12pm BST launch event. The timing of the event suggests it may involve outdoor activities and technology to enhance them. The image accompanying the announcement depicts a trail runner wearing a hydration vest, which indicates that the watch may have sporty and navigation capabilities, likely serving as an adventure watch.",
