Excellent GPS Active Watch

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024

Got this as a replacement to my Apple Watch. The sensors and data interface are more detail. I use this for regular exercise and dirt biking. The GPS is really good. Garmin allows you to copy the GPS data and import it into other map interfaces. I use this in combination with OnX Off-road. The light is also a really handy feature. The screen is nice as well. No problems with durability. This fills a lot more of my wants and needs compared to the older Apple Watch I had including sleep tracking and others mentioned above.

Not worth the upgrade from the gen 2.

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

Thought with the new additional heart rate monitors this would be way more accurate for workouts. I’ve found it’s about the same as the gen 2. Which has major issues adjusting back to reading if you have to take it off for a set in the gym.

I have had them all (Garmin) and this is the best for what I do, sell your Apple Ultra like I did. 11 days battery always on display, Ultra 36 hrs maybe.....

And I really like this watch. Upgraded from a Garmin Fenix 5 pro. This watch is so much nicer in the way the screen reads the accuracy of the heart rate, connects to my Wi-Fi immediately without problems and so much more. I haven't even touched on many of the features that it has yet. I am very pleased with the watch and selling my fenix 5 pro.

Better than my Apple Watch Ultra in the rain

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024

Size: 51 mmStyle: Pro SapphireColor: Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Blk BandVerified Purchase

After going on a run in the rain and having my Apple Watch Ultra's screen become unusable, having it record splits almost constantly when rubbing against the sleeve of my running jacket, and ending the run on its own, I became frustrated and went back to Garmin. My last Garmin watch was a Garmin Fenix gen 3, and I had considered ordering another Fenix, but saw that the Epix Pro offered an amoled display, which would make it as bright and aesthetic as the Apple Watch. The Pro line of the Epix have a flashlight and it has been very useful especially on early morning races where I've walked into stalls with no light. And lastly, the Garmin Epix offers a non-touchscreen mode, which is excellent when it comes to running in wet conditions. The Epix line lives up to the hype and brings back the excitement I had when I first ordered my Garmin Fenix many years ago.

The watch I've always wanted.

I've wanted a fenix for about 8 years now, and decided on the Epix for the AMOLED display. Sometime you hype yourself up for something then get disappointed when you get it and its not what you thought it would be. This EPIX has been even better then I though It could be, and the activity tracking is awesome. It really makes me want to ride my bike and go for more hikes. I wore the AWU for a year and while its an awesome smart watch, it never really gave me the get out and go feeling. I got the Gen 2 pro and LOVE everything about it. The battery life is amazing for the amount of info it provides. I don't know how AWU isn't even close. Plus for backpacking the EPIX does everything better, without having to worry about battery. My only CON is that if you have a BOSCH powered ebike this watch won't sync to the motor. So the ebike activity doesn't record what mode you use the most, and a few other things. Not a deal breaker but its the one thing the AWU does better.

Amazing Watch For Fitness & Health, Though Phone Integration is Lacking

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024

Size: 51 mmStyle: Pro SapphireColor: Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Blk BandVerified Purchase

As a long-time Samsung Galaxy Watch user who also does a decent amount of outdoor activities, I was excited to try the Garmin lineup! I initially bought the Fenix 6 Pro, not realizing until I received it that the display was transflective and not AMOLED, so I was shocked with how dim the display was and how washed out the colors were, and then after days of playing with settings, I finally realized why - it only supports showing a very limited selection of colors, so high quality images are a no-go, and indoors the display looks rather bad to someone coming from another smart watch. I tried to like it and get used to it, but ultimately I just couldn't deal with how washed out and dim everything looked, so I returned it for this Garmin Epix 2 Pro, which is basically the same watch but with an AMOLED full-color screen, and no solar. This watch has almost the same rated battery life, so I gladly gave up the solar gimmick for a decent screen. Now, if you spend most of your days in bright sun conditions, maybe you prefer the Fenix screen since it's slightly easier to see outdoors in direct sun, but if you are looking for more of a smart watch experience and rely on notifications from your phone and want your watch faces to look decent, the Epix is the way to go, which I can still see just fine outdoors.

But speaking of phone integration, I'll say that it does send you phone notifications, but the tight integration coming from a Samsung phone and Samsung watch just isn't there. For example, you'll get a large-font (almost too large) notification mirrored from your phone, but can't do anything with it other than dismiss it. And if your phone alarm goes off, you can't snooze or turn it off from your watch, or reply to messages. Based on that, I'm still considering going back to the Samsung watch, but every time I put the Samsung back on, I miss the Garmin Epix, if not for needing better phone integration since I spend equal time indoors and want to be able to receive and respond to phone alerts without getting my phone out, and the Samsung health & fitness sensors are still pretty decent, even if slightly behind Garmin. I'm still on the fence, but this is by far one of the best watches you can buy for health & fitness tracking!

Hope that info helps you make an educated choice on which watch is best for you, depending on your use scenario!

As a long time Apple fan, this watch is amazing! Comfortable and very sleek. The data you get from connect is unreal. Sleep study data and cardiovascular readings are quite useful. The ECM once it was certified by FDA made this watch a must. Won’t go back to Apple for my watches, ever!!

I don’t know why, but I’m now getting a painful rash from wearing it. Skin has rubbed onto the back of the watch. Keep it loose when possible. It still works fine.
I’ve been using this watch for about six months. Amazing watch. Use it everyday. The watch firmware has apparently been overhauled by Garmin from the previous Epix. I am completely satisfied with the Epix Pro.

Amazing watch with bright display and great battery life

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024

Size: 51 mmStyle: Pro SapphireColor: Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Blk BandVerified Purchase

I was holding onto my Garmin Fenix 5X waiting for a watch with enough new features to justify upgrading. I skipped the Fenix 6 and watched as the Fenix 7 came along. With the new AMOLED display in the Epic thought maybe this would be the time.

The clincher for me was moving to a job where I could wear the watch all day, plus the recent price drop for the holidays.

I opted for the Epix Pro Sapphire 51mm due to the larger batter and extended life. I have a large enough wrist that the smaller watches seem too dainty, anyway.

The watch features are amazing. The addition of blood oxygen monitoring alone has been worth the price of admission. I am able to get much better insight into my sleep quality and struggles with obstructive sleep apnea.

The EEG is also an amazing capability to have on your wrist.

I’ve noticed the processor response times are faster than my older 5X.

I’ve yet to use some of the features like onboard music and Garmin pay.

Just an amazing and gorgeous watch.
