How Garmin preorder works on Amaboxly: timeline and variants

Searching for Garmin preorder Malaysia usually comes down to two questions: how long does it take, and how do you make sure the right watch turns up. On Amaboxly you choose the model, size and colour, we buy that watch new from the US brand store after you order, and estimated delivery is 30 calendar days.

This guide covers the steps in order, how the size and colour options work, and why the official configuration code on each listing deserves a quick check before you pay.

Garmin preorder Malaysia: the steps from order to delivery

A preorder means the watch is purchased for you once your order is in. The sequence looks like this.

• Start on the Garmin brand page and open the product page for the watch you want.
• Select a size, if the model comes in more than one, and a colour.
• Match your selection to the official configuration code in the listing details.
• Check out. Pay in full or, where the product page offers it, pay a 50% deposit now and the balance later. Checkout shows when the balance is due for your country.
• We buy the watch new from the US brand store.
• The watch is delivered to you. The estimate is 30 calendar days.
• Open the parcel when it arrives and inspect the watch. If anything is damaged, report it with photos straight away.

Calendar days include weekends and public holidays. Treat the 30 days as an estimate and order early if the watch is for a race date or a trip.

Choosing size and colour before you order

Two of the five Garmin listings have no size choice. The Forerunner 70 and the Vivoactive 6 each come with a 1.2″ (30.4 mm) diameter display, and the only decision is colour. Their listings also give weight: 40 g for the Forerunner 70, and 23 g (36 g with included band) for the Vivoactive 6.

The other three come in multiple case sizes. The Venu 4 is listed in 41 mm and 45 mm, the Instinct 3 Solar in 45 mm and 50 mm, and the Fenix 9 in 43 mm, 47 mm and 51 mm. Weights and dimensions for each case size are on Garmin’s spec sheet. If you already wear a watch, measure its case across and compare that number with the sizes on offer.

Colours are tied to sizes, which catches people out. On the Venu 4, Silver with Periwinkle Silicone Band is listed in 41 mm only, while Silver with Citron Silicone band is listed in 45 mm only. On the Fenix 9, Titanium with Fog Gray Silicone Band exists only in 43 mm, and Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Black Silicone Band only in 47 mm and 51 mm. The Instinct 3 Solar has one 45 mm option (Black with Black Band) and two 50 mm options.

Getting this right matters because exchanges are only for items that arrive damaged. A change-of-mind return is possible, but it carries a 10% restocking fee, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund.

What the official configuration code tells you

Every Garmin listing on Amaboxly has an “Official Configuration” list. Each line pairs one exact combination of size, case colour and band with a code. The Forerunner 70 in Black is 010-04307-00, for example, and the same watch in Whitestone is 010-04307-01.

On these listings the middle block of the code changes with case size, and the last two digits change with colour or band. The Venu 4 codes start 010-03013 for 41 mm and 010-03014 for 45 mm. The Fenix 9 uses 010-04761, 010-04762 and 010-04763 for its three sizes.

The code is most useful where two options look alike. The 41 mm Venu 4 in Lunar Gold appears twice: with a Bone Silicone Band (010-03013-00), and with a Bone Silicone Band and Light Sand Leather Band (010-03013-03). The names are long and easy to misread, and the code settles which one you are choosing.

If you have a question about a specific variant, quote the code when you message us on WhatsApp at +1 603 440 9886. It removes any doubt about which watch you mean.

The Garmin watches listed for preorder

These five models are open for preorder, with specs as given on each listing.

The Forerunner 70 is the running watch of the group, described as easy to use with essential training and recovery features. The Vivoactive 6 and Venu 4 lean toward health and fitness. Both have AMOLED displays with an optional always-on mode and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lenses, and the Venu 4 adds a stainless steel bezel and a built-in flashlight.

The Instinct 3 Solar is the rugged outdoor option, with a Power Glass lens and a monochrome, sunlight-visible MIP display. The Fenix 9 sits at the top, with a sapphire crystal lens, a titanium bezel and an AMOLED display.

Price, payment and delivery

Each price above is a “from” price, meaning the lowest variation on that listing. Other sizes or band combinations can cost more, so read the price for your exact selection before you pay. If you compare against a US list price, account for currency conversion, delivery to your address and how a return would work.

You can pay in full. Where the product page offers it, you can instead pay a 50% deposit now and the balance later, and checkout shows when that balance is due for your country.

Delivery is free within Peninsular Malaysia. Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan pay RM21 per item, or nothing on orders over RM 2,200. At the listed from prices, a Venu 4 or Fenix 9 order is already above that amount. Buyers in every other country see their shipping fee at checkout, and the shipping fees page explains how it works.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. A change-of-mind return must be in new condition, carries a 10% restocking fee, and the return shipping is yours to pay. The full terms are on the refund and returns page. All current listings are on the Garmin brand page.
