As a former Forerunner owner, the Epix Sapphire is perfect for me. From the brilliance of the screen - more important for older folk - to the plethora of features, I am thrilled to wear this watch. Data for swimming, hiking and yoga is superb. Important: You must turn off Battery Saver to get sleep data. This is NOT listed anywhere. Overall, the clarity of the screen and the many capabilities of Epix Gen2 are just phenomenal.
Advanced training metrics and sleep tracking have already made a difference in my training system. Things like load ratio and being able to account for all activities as accumulated load is a game changer, versus having a cycling computer that only accounts for cycling activities. Major upside is having all metrics available on my wrist, as opposed to relying on connect or needing to use my cycling computer to look at training history in depth. Absolutely love the all-red screen for night mode and the low-power faces that eliminate distraction during sleep hours.
This watch had changed my perspective on health and fitness. Great watch with tons of functionality and very easy to use. I love Garmin Coach programs !!! It keeps me motivated.
Like it a lot but seems like it loses connection to phone more time than I'd like. It's that blasted Garmin connect app that is wonky. Frankly, just figuring out how to get the connect iq store to interface with it is too many steps. But I'm glad I bought it. Just wonky connection stuff.
I recently bought a fenix 8 sapphire, and it’s is so unfunctional that I had to reconfigure my Epix 2 to use until Garmin gets around to fixing the many many bugs in the Fenix.

Got this from my wife as a birthday present to replace my Instinct. So far I have been nothing but impressed. The features are simple and pertinent. Excellent tracking of your workouts and your body’s response to them. Goes further than most watches by helping with recovery also. Highly recommend if you want to effectively track your biometrics.
I couldn’t wait to change from my Apple Watch to the Garmin Epix . Unfortunately I was disappointed. I could not use my music apps. I also couldn’t believe that as soon as I walked outside to my patio, the watch immediately disconnected from my phone within about 20 feet. Sadly the watch was returned. Also no charger came in the box.
