Summary
47 mm Fenix 9 Pro Solar measures 15.8 mm thick versus 13.8 mm for the AMOLED model, while its display drops to 1.3 inches from 1.4 inches.
Battery gains are uneven: smartwatch mode without solar reaches 21 days on the 47 mm Solar versus 18 days on AMOLED, but the 51 mm Solar trails 30 days versus 31 days before solar charging is counted.
51 mm Solar is still thicker at 16.6 mm versus 15.8 mm, and its screen is smaller at 1.4 inches versus 1.5 inches; both versions otherwise run the same software.
Garmin says its solar estimates assume all-day wear plus three hours outdoors at 50,000 lux, with the new Fenix 9 lineup launched earlier Tuesday with 64GB storage and titanium Pro models.
