Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Standard Edition

I bought this so I can keep track of my heart rate during my workouts, and found the accuracy is pretty spot on when I compared to results from fitness testing. I found that since I already used the vivoactive 5 that moving up to the epix was easy to use.

Solid watch Wish it had LTE / automatically updated. Battery life is great Health metrics seem way more accurate than whoop. All and all pretty good. Not sure if worth the price though

I like the size (42 mm) and the amoled screen. I have been please with the battery life. I have been charging once a week which will include at least one daily activity. Comfortable and reliable.

J’ai acheté il y a environ un mois epix pro - superbe montre GPS Elle ne quitte plus mon poignet . Je l utilise dans ma vie qutidienne et ma Pratique sportive. Au top pour la course à pied.

The Garmin Epix Pro is a high-end smartwatch designed for athletes who seek a robust device with advanced features. Its AMOLED display is simply spectacular, offering vibrant colors and exceptional clarity, even in direct sunlight. The battery life is another of its strengths, allowing me to enjoy long training sessions without worrying about charging. The precise metrics offered by the Epix Pro are an invaluable tool for any athlete. From heart rate tracking and blood oxygen saturation to sleep and stress analysis, this watch provides detailed data that helps optimize performance and improve overall health. Additionally, the GPS accuracy is outstanding, making it an ideal companion for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling.

I bought this a month ago and I’ve only needed to charge it 2 times since I opened the box. The tracking metrics are super detailed and seem more accurate than my last Apple Watch. Also being active, there does not even look to be a scratch on the watch, still looks new.

A great watch at an expensive price. Durable great for musuc storage battery life is good. Great feedback about sleep and recovery it gas only improved since fenix 6 i used to have an its cuter less bulky.

For the money, i would have expected to be able to type a response to a text message on the watch. Altimeter will sometimes show very different things. I live 30' above sea level and it will frequently tell me im -21'

Have had this over a year and love it - fourth Garmin watch over last 12 years. They just keep getting better. Use this for golf, running, hiking, indoor rowing etc. Would love to have workout compatibility with Peleton devices great battery life.

I like it a lot it is nice. It makes me happy. It makes me feel good

I had been hesitant to purchase a Smart Watch for quite a few years now, and trying to decide between Garmin, or a more modestly priced Android watch with calls/texts. I am fairly active between Mountain Biking, and HIIT training at the gym, and had been tracking all my activity without heart monitoring via Strava. I'm stoked I ended up picking up the Epix. I was on the hunt for a Fenix 7 for some time, but they were not available, and Epix fit the bill (I don't think I could have gone wrong with either option). The 47mm fit is great. I founded the 51mm too bulky for my wrest. I got used to the weight factor after about 2 weeks of continuous wear (the Forerunner is a bit lighter weight feeling). Heart monitoring, stress, sleep, ride, and workout tracking are fantastic, with useful analysis, and seamless syncing with Strava. Pulling my maps and routes from Strava to navigate from the watch is easy. The most time consuming setup is customizing a billion options of data screens (but out of the box defaults are plenty great). I did buy a screen protector thankfully, which saved the watch face from a kettlebell, which smashed the screen protector, but protected the glass beneath. Navigation on the go is helpful. Not as detailed and easy to follow as the full blown Garmin bike computer. However, the vibrating turn by turn directions, Climb Pro, and Heart rate zones for long uphill slogs are perfect. Then of course, the GPS for those downhill PRs are super accurate! The communication features are useful, such as daily reports of rest and training readiness, sleep score, incoming texts, phone calls, and other notifications (via Bluetooth from my Android phone). My only gripes are that I am having difficulty figuring out how to disable constant barometer and altitude meter, which are battery hogs (even after reading the support page). I am guessing this is more user error than a Garmin issue. And also not being able to track my V02 (an important metric I'd like to use) without purchasing a power meter for my pedals. Heart rate monitor can also be stop tracking while bouncing downhill through the janky stuff, but it's not a big deal, and I don't feel compelled to buy the optional chest-strap heart monitor. The initial purchase cost definitely took some saving, but I love that there are no costly monthly subscriptions required. Cost was one and one. Overall I'm stoked on this watch, and hope it serves me well for some time to come!

I purchased this watch a few weeks ago and it's been working well so far. I haven't used a Garmin product in about 10 years and my former Garmin product was no way near this sophisticated. I'm still learning how to use all of the features, and I don't understand the body battery at all, but that doesn't seem to be an uncommon sentiment. I like the size of the watch face. I'm glad I didn't go any larger, the battery life has been great so far. I easily get a week with standard wear. The buttons have been easy to use and have not been getting pressed accidentally when I flex my hand, which is nice. I haven't downloaded any maps yet or explored how that may work. Overall, I really like what I have used so far, which is probably about 25% of the watch's featuers.

I had wanted to replace my Garmin 935 which I had for several years. The Epix pro has exceeded my expectations, the battery life +30 days is true. The additional flashlight and multiple weather cities is an added bonus. Will continue to enjoy my new watch for years to come.

I am loving this watch it has all the features I was looking for.

Not easy to set up or use. Will go back to using a Apple Watch.

I love my new epix Pro gen 2 watch. I have the 47mm size, perfect for my wrist. I've had the watch for nearly a month, and I am convinced I made the correct choice. My primary attraction to it was for its health benefits. I needed a way to measure oxygen saturation, and this watch provides a measurement that appears quite accurate. I love the fact that a 2-hour charge gives me 14 days of battery life. This allows me to wear it overnight. I have a problem with sleep, and its way of analyzing my sleep is quite amazing. Already it is giving me insights which have resulted in improving sleep scores. But beyond this, other measurements of activities are prodding me to do more exercise and to overall feel better. I am very satisfied with its connection with my iPhone. Text messages are easy to read, and for messages I do not need to save or respond to I simply delete them via the watch. Since I always have my phone with me, the inability of the watch to respond to texts is not a big deal. Over time I will undoubtedly use many more of its features, such as route finding and way-marking for hiking. It is truly a great product.

This watch has so many features that I haven’t been able to explore them all. Can’t wait to do more exercises with it

Fantastic! Purchased this watch 1 month ago and I have loved this watch. It can sync with my dogs collars, it provides better analytics and it’s a joy to operate.

I bought this watch as a present to myself after having an old Venu 2S for the past few years. What a magical upgrade. I love the features, the look and feel of the watch, the light feature, and all of the training updates I can use to my benefit. I can't wait to use it for more open-water swims in 2025.

I upgraded from Forerunner 945 that ive been using since 2020. Liked the nee screen and new features (morning report, stamina, etc). The frustration came when I started my running trainings and noticed the wrist heart rate measure low most of the running time and sometimes jump to a higher value after 2 or 3 miles. As experienced Garmin user I tried to ch age watch position, tighten or lose but mo sucess on getting good data. I am returning my watch.. this is unacceptable for a premium watch. Hope garmin fix this problem.. I am now back to my Forerunner 945!
