Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition

Have not and probably never will learn the features of this watch too many buttons on it.

It’s amazing…if you’re on the fence, just go for it.

Does what it is advertised for, although it is not that sturdy as my Fenix 5X Sapphire was. Now, the main issue I have is Garmin advertised it as if it will support EKG most likely in the EU as well, but apparently, Garmin stepped away from that commitment which I find unfair and discriminatiory against its European buyers. The other thing is the software. Nothing surprising, but out of the box the ConnectIQ store did not allow me to install any software as it was requiring an update. I updated the watch software yet it still was the case. After I signed up to their Beta tester program the beta firmware solved that issue. But then leaving the beta program, I cannot roll back to the stable tested firmware practically, which is a ridiculous thing. Garmin could do so much better than that, but it just cannot. Quite disappointing. Last disappointment: I purchased the watch in the official Garmin Hungary webshop. Got a 10% accessory coupon and when I was about to use that, turns out it is not available to use in Hungary. What a joke that is again?!

I bought this a month ago as I was jealous of the better backside sensor and screen of my partners' Venu3S. I've really enjoyed the significantly better battery life including using nightly SpO2, ECG, Wrist-Based Running Power, and the Morning/Evening Reports!

My fenix3 died on me and got this. I order the whitestone 51. Here is a list of pros Bright screen Easy setup battery life is solid All fenix7x pro info but screen brightness. Once it warms up will try multi sports

Great for skiing, biking, work-outs. Sleep tracking is an awesome and accurate feature. I use the gps functions for biking, skiing and hiking. I like reviewing the activity on the excellent Garmin Connect App. I highly recommend.

I bought this watch for Christmas. I’ve worn it every day since. I encourage everyone to experience an Epix.

I have had numerous Apple Watches including the Ultra. This watch just blows it away! So many great features, great build quality and bright screen. The watch face options are amazing too!

Purchased this watch about a month ago. My initial attraction to it was the battery life, most smart watches last about 24 to 36 hours before requiring charging. This implies that I needed to carry a charger on trips, who needs that if your on a weekend camping adventure! My two-year-old smartwatch had a battery that wasn't hold a charge for more than eight hours, and the manufacturer wanted more to replace the battery than what I paid for the watch! So, I started my hunt. Per recommendation by outdoor enjoying friends I started with Garmin. But the clincher was I had just invested in an InReach MINI 2 and found out it integrated with some of the Garmin watches. The decision on my EPIX PRO came from YouTube videos comparing EPIX and FENIX Garmin products. None of them duplicated all the features of my current watch, in particular, I can't answer my phone. I was willing to give up the phone feature for the battery-life feature. The EPIX has most all of the other features, but some came with a functional twist. The EPIX also had added benefits in the navigation area that my old watch did not. The icing-on-the-cake is the InReach integration of the MINI 2. The learning curve is steep. Garmin needs to do a better job on producing How-To Videos for these devices. Some of the confusion comes from the multiple ways to get to the same functions, why not just one menu and one quick access favorites menu? So, I'm spending a lot of time on YouTube learning. The biggest reason for four and not five star rating is the notification system. If I receive a text, or if an alarm goes off, the watch vibrates and make a tiny-soft sound. I now miss 80% of my notifications! The watch needs a louder sound mechanism, this is a big issue with me, but not a deal killer because of all the other features. I need to hear my alarms and know when I have new notifications come in. The marketing info you see in advertisements are accurate otherwise. The display is bright, crisp, and clear. This was important for me because of my poor eyesight. Even the navigation maps are easy to read. The watch faces are very customizable. The touch screen works as it should, and the pushbuttons have a nice tactile feel. I am still learning how to use this watch to its fullest, and I am already happy. And did I mention it also works with the Garmin Varia bike radar? Another plus! Linking up with the MINI 2 and Varia was effortless and successful on the first try. My conclusion at this point is yes, there are big features I gave up (Phone answering and loud audible notifications), but great advantages keep me happy (battery life, display, device integration, navigation features). I would recommend this watch for any outdoors enthusiast and workout enthusiast who enjoy utilizing high tech approaches. A note about battery life, the watch saves power by turning off its display and GPS when not needed. If you use the navigation feature while hiking, running, biking, you will notice you've lost a day or two of battery life depending how long your GPS activity lasted.

I received this watch as a Christmas gift and it is everything that I had expected. I've used it for golfing and my regular workout so far. The large 51mm watch face makes seeing golf course data easy. Looking forward to using it for skiing.

I was gifted my Garmin watch for Christmas and it surpasses all my expectations. The display is easy to navigate through the entire menu of features. I have used the map features and they are accurate to the mile. I had a FITBIT 5 and due to the last update I was forced to download it refused to work post update entirely.

I am excited about this product because it’s all about keeping me healthy.

He tenido el Garmin fénix 3, 5x y el 6 pro solar . Ahora tengo el garmin Epix pro Gen2 de zafiro y titanio y en mi opinión es uno de los mejores relojes que ha fabricado Garmin. La duración de la batería es espectacular y las posibilidades futuras son esperanzadoras

I have had this watch for a while now and put it through my everyday grind and traveling around the US. This watch has not stopped or given me any fuss. The build quality and battery life is great! Bravo, Garmin for making another great product!

Bought the epix Pro as an upgrade to the Fenix 5X and what a difference! Love the display, speed, and the battery runtime is amazing. Great value for the money.

Absolutely outstanding! This Garmin watch has exceeded all expectations. It’s been 3 weeks, and it’s still going strong on the initial charge—unbelievable battery life! The customization options are phenomenal, allowing me to tailor the watch perfectly to my unique preferences. It’s a perfect blend of functionality and personalization. Highly recommend!

This was my first smart watch and I am very impressed with the abilities. I got this mainly for cycling, hiking, and just doing things around. I use Garmin products on my bike and wanted something that would integrate with my sensors, but something I could take hiking. Originally I was looking at Garmin Edge 1050, but it did not play well with being off the bike, so I started looking at watches. The Pheonix 8 did not have great reviews and seen the Epix 2 Pro and how people really liked the product, and I can see why. The Epix Pro 2 51mm is amazing on the data it can collect and I love the clarity of the watch face. The only issue is with the band, it is soft, but does not feel well on the hand.

The 454 pixel resolution along with the largest size and color display is the most important feature to me - I can see all the terrific data the epix is providing. Also, the larger battery is more useful to me than the mostly unused by me solar charging feature of my previous Garmin. I am very satisfied after going up to this level of a Garmin.

Three weeks in and this watch is insane!! Every possible metric you can measure WITH ACCURACY

I bought a month ago . I have been really enjoying it. Very easy to operate.
