While digging through regulatory certification databases today, I spotted two new unreleased Garmin outdoor devices in Indonesia’s SDPPI registry.
Filed on November 9, 2026, by PT Garmin Indonesia Distribution under the “Outdoor Products” category, the certification lists two sequential model numbers: A05198 and A05199.
When Garmin registers two consecutive model numbers together like this, it almost always means a single watch lineup coming in two different sizing options or hardware configurations.
Looking at recent regulatory drops and Garmin’s release patterns, here is what these two new model numbers could be.
Possibility 1: Garmin Tactix 9
My first and main possibility is the Garmin Tactix 9.
If you remember our previous coverage, the Tactix 9 was already confirmed in Russian regulatory filings alongside a Ballistic Edition. Based on Garmin’s usual release cycle for tactical models, we are expecting the Tactix 9 to launch in early 2027.
Seeing models A05198 and A05199 pop up in Indonesia right now fits that timeline perfectly, especially if Garmin is preparing two size options or different edition builds for the next-gen Tactix.
Possibility 2: Garmin Descent Mk4
The second possibility is the Garmin Descent Mk4 series.
Garmin’s dive watch family follows a fairly predictable cycle, and a new Descent update is due around late 2026 or early 2027. The Descent series typically launches with dual-size variants (like a standard model and a smaller “S” edition) so divers can choose what works best on the wrist.
Seeing two new outdoor models hit Asian certification databases right now makes the Descent Mk4 another strong contender.
What to Watch For Next
Whether these devices turn out to be the Tactix 9, the Descent Mk4, or perhaps a completely different outdoor series altogether, one thing is certain: something new from Garmin is definitely coming in the next few days or months.
Now that A05198 and A05199 are officially logged in Indonesia, they should start surfacing in other global regulatory databases over the coming weeks—including the FCC in the US, Taiwan’s NCC, and Bluetooth SIG. I will be keeping a close eye on incoming filings and firmware leaks to see exactly what Garmin is preparing for us next.
