It does everything I want!

I purchased this watch to upgrade my Garmin Forerunner 955 solar as I wanted the maps for hiking and backpacking. I read and watched a lot of reviews before making my decision. I was worried about the battery life on the epix (Gen 2) but I didn’t need to worry. I don’t use always on display and I can, at times, easily get 10 days of battery life. This includes following a course and using gps as well as recording workouts almost daily. When I’m out on backpacking trips I might need to bring my charger but with the added benefit of maps I don’t mind. Really happy with my decision to get this watch.
The Epic is my 3rd Garmin. I also have the Forunner 745. I love both watches. I use the 745 for races as it is a smaller/lighter watch. Love all the features the Epic has and that the battery last much longer.
Does everything I could ask for and more! The AMOLED screen is excellent, the golf features are awesome! The workout options are handy as well. I really enjoy the extra sleep data and training readiness.
I've been a long time Apple Watch user and recently made the move to Garmin for better workout tracking. So far the Garmin has been superior to the Apple Watch. The workout and gps navigation is fantastic, though it takes a little getting used to if you've been an Apple user for a long time. The battery life alone is a reason to make the move. The only drawback is the Garmin app user interface is less intuitive and it's been difficult to find specific info on how to disable specific app notifications. Otherwise it's great.
This watch is rugged and surprisingly light for its size. I changed the band to a nylon hook and loop style and sleep with it on every night. I barely even notice it.
I have had this watch for more than a year now and have not been nice to it at all, yet it doesn’t have any scratches or knocks or anything. The battery life is incredible, I can do a triathlon and not charge it for an another week and will still have battery left. If you aren’t sure about this watch, stop thinking about it and go get it. It takes some serious abuse and has data on everything.
