Awesome Watch

Amazing watch, display is exceptional. Battery lasts for over a month. I’m not sure what else you could ask for. Five stars

Great Watch And Features

I bought my Epix Pro 2 about a month ago and it’s still on its original charge. It’s the best watch I’ve ever owned. So many great features. Thanks Garmin

Good Upgrade

It's quite an upgrade over my Approach S62, but not flawless. Occasional unexplained reboots and moments of touchscreen not working keep it from being 5 stars.

Feature Packed

Great wearable. So far, a very durable watch with great features.

Great Battery Life

I bought this watch over a year ago. I was using the Apple Ultra (1 gen) prior to buying the Garmin. The primary reason for switching is that I like to hike and camp overnight. The Apple battery life is terrible. The Garmin will last for 31 days. The number of statistics is overwhelming but I like how it integrates with my Garmin Inreach device

Better Then The Fenix

Purchased, about a month ago absolutely love this watch. Great display battery life and options, plus it looks amazing

Great Device

So far, so good. It works great. My only complaint is that I hate being told every day that my sleep was "non-restorative." I suppose if it's scientifically based it's fine but every other device I've every worn differs. But it's great at what I want it for.

I Couldn't Be Happier

I bought this about 3 weeks ago, and I don't think I could be more pleased, especially since it's perfectly complete for my needs while being a 2023 release. This is my first Amoled Garmin, and while I love the solar approach and the MIP display, the amoled is sharp! I love the training features that are an upgrade from my instinct The advanced sleep data and sleep coach are truly helpful The battery life should put Apple Watch Ultra to utter vexation and shame for all time

Topographic Maps Downloads

I have problems updating my topographic maps on my epix pro Error message saying it cannot detect the device. Starting and exiting my watch does not fix it. When I charge the watch it will not download all the maps entirely.

Comprehensive

Reason for 4stars, everytime there is a new update, it goes into “demo mode” and my settings are erased. I then need to start all over again setting up my watch.

Excellent Performance Multi Activity Watch

Really happy with my Epix Pro Gen2 watch. I previously owned a Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar but decided to side-grade to the Epix Pro for its brighter AMOLED screen and upgraded sensors. The higher and brighter resolution makes it easier to read without glasses, also the upgraded Elevate 5 Heart Rate sensor works remarkably well compared to a HR chest band when doing high intensity workouts. Finally, having frequent heart palpitations, I also use the ECG feature to monitor for possible AFIBs. Great unit with plenty of performance metrics across numerous sports activities.

Easy To Read Screen, Even In Daylight.

So, far, so good. I'm coming from a Fenix 6X Sapphire as of about two weeks ago, so a MIPS to AMOLED is a major change. The AOD or blank screen takes getting used to as a MIPS screen is there 100% 24/7. The Fenix series is 280x280 vs 454x454 for Epix, so major upgrade there. Of course a round screen isn't just x times x, there's Pi and etc. involved. So, Fenix is around 61,000 pixels vs 161,000 pixels for Epix. (approx) And color depth, so maps are shaded 3D relief and shows labels that aren't there on a Fenix. Background details on watch faces that don't work on MIPS opens up a new world. I was concerned about battery life, but it really isn't dropping like I thought it might. I'm four days in and it's at 62% and that's with AOD on. Yes, a watch is nice if it lasts 3 weeks, but you know, it has to come off and get cleaned SOMETIME anyway. (as well as your arm) The software is an upgrade with a lot of little things. "Widgets" are gone, now it's "Glances" so I don't search for widgets in the store now, just apps. Glances are upgraded from my 6X, such as weather and even sunlight with extra screens and info. I no longer bother with 3rd party apps as the Garmin ones are more than enough now. That was an unexpected upgrade for me. It's much snappier than the 6X so faster processor. The ECG is a major upgrade from a 6X. I dropped one star because downloaded watch faces intermittently revert back to a default face with no rhyme or reason. It might go a day without, or twice in as many hours. It's very irritating. So, for me, it's so far, so good as I don't think I'm going back to MIPS. Oh, yes, the flashlight. I'm a caver, so even in daily life I have at least 3 on me always; belt pack, keychain, even a Lumintop Ant Man LEP in my pocket. But on the watch, you ALWAYS have one on your person. In a sleeping bag while camped, going to the bathroom at night at home, it's ALWAYS there for instant use. It's not a gimmick like I thought, and is plenty bright.

Great Watch

Watch is great.. nice and clear display battery lasts 21 days only using GPS saves battery life dependable and easy and easy reading the display.. AMOLED display is good..

Great for active lifestyle. I’ll never go back to Apple Watch.

Great Watch For Health And Fitness And Biometrics

I was skeptical at first about moving away from Apple, but after using the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2), I can confidently say this watch is on another level for fitness, hiking, and overall functionality. The customization alone is incredible , being able to create my own custom watch face and even add my company logo made it feel truly personal and professional at the same time. The durability is outstanding, and the silicone wristband is extremely comfortable whether I’m in business attire, at the gym, or out on a long hike. One of my favorite features is the built-in LED flashlight. It sounds simple, but once you use it, you realize how useful it is every single day, especially for hiking, travel, and early morning workouts. I’m also extremely impressed with how seamlessly it syncs with AllTrails and integrates into my hiking routine. The glance features are fantastic as well. I can quickly check stock updates for my investments, weather conditions, biometric data, notifications, and fitness metrics all from a stylish watch that honestly looks far more premium than most smartwatches on the market. What really separates this watch for me is the biometric and health data. During my fitness journey, the recovery tracking, HRV, sleep data, training metrics, and overall wellness insights have been incredibly valuable and motivating. I wear this watch 24 hours a day because it has become such an important tool for both my health and outdoor activities. Garmin absolutely exceeded my expectations with the Epix Pro (Gen 2). Highly recommended.
