Fantastic watch!
on August 10, 2024
Posted by: Lessfilling
Purchased a few weeks ago prior to a trip to Colorado to replace an aging Apple Watch. So impressed with the features, the AMOLED screen, and the battery life! Setup was not quite as intuitive as the Apple Watch, but still pretty straightforward. Also took about 24 hrs of use to get used to the different buttons, but after that it’s rarely left my wrist! Did I mention battery life??? It’s truly amazing. I’ve used the watch for walks, runs, and hikes so far, and it’s accurate and has so many great features and ways to track your workout. It’s exactly what I needed to kickstart my workouts. If you’re on the fence about a Garmin, just pull the trigger. You won’t regret it at all!

Bright screen, clunky interface
on July 10, 2024

I have owned Garmin watches in the past, which were actually easier to use and more configurable, such as the original forerunner 450, and used it as a cycling computer, programming that watch to scroll through three different screens continuously. For Its time it was a brilliant watch, but the main problem was the battery life and especially screen brightness, which are obviously related
the good news about the Epix pro is the brightness of the screen, this is an outstanding advance, undoubtedly related to better battery capacity
The bad news is that that previous Level of configuration is difficult to replicate with the Epix Pro As pro athletes we don’t need all the goofy “ training readiness” type stuff, so maybe it’s not the right tool for the job, and maybe the “Pro” in the name is meaningless hype.
The sleep function is cool, but not unique. The body battery doesn’t make sense to me yet. Furthermore, navigating through screens is exceedingly non-intuitive, and getting from viewing results or active monitoring versus setup is a random Hunt and peck exercise. One of my buddies on a recent climb in the Alps had the same watch, and he could not help me nor himself either. I’m going to try and look at some of the third-party cycling apps to see if there is more help there, And I acknowledge that buying a watch this complicated just before three weeks of hard climbing in the Alps is not an entirely fair test

I really want to love this watch. It’s not completely terrible, but really falls a short of being a great watch. Kinda sad when the programming flexibility of a watch from the same company 10 years ago is better than what the current designers are putting out now, in the name of advancement. Keep trying Garmin!

Bought this to replace a Fitbit. Loving the added features and bigger and brighter display. Love the added information and seems to be more accurate in the data it collected.

Amazing watch

Going from an Apple watch to this Garmin was incredible. Very easy to use UI, and having multiple buttons and touch screen is amazing. The ability to tracking everyday life is so much easier and contains so much more detail than any other "smart watch". Having the Golf feature is a plus for me as well since that is a regular hobby of mine. I have and will continue to recommend this product to everyone who asks me about it!
