I have had 3 Garmin watch and each time I buy and the jump I’m tech and features are amazing. So happy with this watch. I use it for the gym workouts and hiking. Both have incredible features.
Pros: Amazing screen, fast processor, accurate Heartbeat and distance readings. Cons: Altitude reading is all over the place (Consistently in negative numbers), poor graphic design for such an amazing screen
I came from an Apple Watch Ultra to the Epix Pro 2. There is room for a few more smartwatch features, but this device is an excellent wearable for your fitness needs. I do like the option of using just the buttons for us glove wearers. The touch screen is very responsive, however a little lag is present. The sleep tracking I found was where it is lacking. For instance, it tracked my sleep from 9:30-3:30, but nothing up to 5:55. I had to edit the time in the app. This happens every so often when I get up to use the restroom, it assumes I'm awake for the day. The always on feature is excellent, and wasn't expecting it to be as bright in the daylight. However, the battery life says it can last up to 6 days, I found it lasting a little over 4. But that was just my testing. Most of the time the screen is off. As for fitness, it picked up the GPS signal right away. Heart rate was pretty close to my Polar strap. GPS was very good also at tracking me and showed when I crossed the streets. The flashlight has come in handy so many times, and I found the battery holding onto its charge. One reason I prefer Garmin is the ability to use other Garmin watches throughout the day. I have an HR dress watch for work, and use the Epix when home. The two are an excellent pair.
Disconnects from Samsung S10 everyday. A hard reset is required to re- connect the watch to the phone. This happens once a day. I have owned other Garmin watches with this phone and have never had a bluetooth problem Awesome Display Great Battery Life Fantastic health tracking workouts are awsome Dis-like having to carry another cable for charging, Would be better if it supported wireless charging
For outdoor activities is great. As health tracker, the sleep information is totally inaccurate, which makes a lot of other parameters inaccurate as well. As for the interaction with the watch, I felt I had an old watch on my wrist. It is extremely basic as smartwatch.
