Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition, 42mm, High Performance Smartwatch, Advanced Training Technology, Built-in Flashlight, Light Sand

Upgrades to Garmin from my Apple Watch and I will never go back. Charge lasts a long time and it has a lot of great features… more than I will probably ever use. Looks nice as well. Price point is steep, but you get what you pay for.

I'm very happy with this watch. At first, I got the Fenix 7s pro sapphire solar because I was obsessed with battery life. However, due to these watches being smaller there really wasn't a huge gain- 11 days on fenix 7s (no solar) and 10 days on epix 42mm without always on and not a lot of gps. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy watches and a Whoop. I wanted to consolidate the 2 and I was tired of having to charge everything, my samsung could probably go about 2-3 days and my whoop maybe was about 5 days but didn't charge right. Long story short, I couldn't really get past the MIP screen on the fenix. The galaxy watches have a pretty sharp and bright screen. So I tried the Epix and it was just what I was looking for. I'm extremely happy with the watch, even though it's a bit big and bulky it's very comfortable to wear, I don't have a problem sleeping with it on my wrist either. I keep the screen on the dimmest setting and it is plenty bright to be able to see it when outside in bright sun. I think if you're coming from a MIP watch you'll be happy with the Fenix or really need as much battery as possible, or need to mount it to a bike. If you don't need it to be always on and are used to the gesture motion then I think the Epix is worth the extra money (plus you can turn it to always on if you need). I don't think the Epix is quite as accurate as the whoop, and there is no ECG, but as the watch learns about me and I learn about it, I think I'll be able to use the metrics very similarly to the whoop. One of the great things about this watch besides the real flashlight, is the quick ability to turn the touch screen off and on, and if you turn touch off, you can still navigate the watch completely with the buttons. I miss being able to reply to text messages and answer calls using my watch on those odd times when my phone wasn't right on me, but I don't miss charging my watch every night and I won't miss the Whoop subscription either! Very happy with the watch, which I guess is more like a wearable tool to some!

Wife loves it and wears it everyday!

I bought my Epix Pro Gen 2 about a year ago. Having all the stats like heartbeat, sleep score, timer, workout routines, etc has truly changed my life. It's easy to set goals and have a measurable record to break. I like having my workouts on my wrist so i don't forget muscle groups. It's comfortable to wear, so i sleep in it. The charge lasts 10 days or more for most of my uses. I charge it for about an hour when needed. I love tracking my hikes, 4 wheel trips, and sailing excursions. I love the led light. It's worth the extra $. You'll be shocked how many times it helps you read a menu in a restaurant, or find something that dropped under your car, etc. This is my best purchase in years, and it's helping me improve my health too which is priceless.

It’s a bit bigger than most female watches and I love that. So many cool features on it. Loved being able to load hikes into it and followed the directions while in several national parks. Battery life is ah-mazing!

I transitioned from Fitbit to Apple Watch to Garmin watch over the last 8 years and so far I LOVE the features and accuracy and battery life of GARMIN EPIX Pro. This was my birthday gift from my husband and I love the watch and its features and I wear it daily since I received it last year. It has many features such as tracking you sleep pattern, your body battery based on the quality of your sleep, your heart rate, your VO2 Max, sports tracking, activity tracking and even GPS no matter where you are (especially useful when hiking). I am absolutely in love with this watch and highly recommend to anyone who accurately wants to track their health data and wants a battery life of 8-10 days without charging it.

The watch is truly for someone obsessed with technology. For someone like me who is active but has a busy life, the multitude of features that required an insane amount of clicking it’s not worth the trouble. Sure I want to know my stats, but why does it have to be so sensitive that it disactivates features? Which then you have to google to add back in. It’s not user intuitive is what I am saying. Wish I didn’t get it. Waste of time.

What's there to say? It's a Garmin... My wife loves it, fantastic upgrade from her Venue that lasted for 4 years
