I love garmin products and the Epix is now my favorite. The colorful display is so nice and the watch offers so much data. It's a great tool for any tool bag. I am very impressed with the battery life evergreen with the display. I would highly recommend the Epix.
After having a couple of Apple Watches and enjoying their abilities. Hearing multiple recomendations for garmin watches for the health tracking ability and the uses for outdoor activity tracking:hiking, mountain biking etc. I decided to buy one when I found it on sale. After owning this watch for a few weeks now I don't see myself going back to any other watch anytime soon and garmin will very likely be my next watch too.
Amoled display is great and watch is solid overall

Great watch with some incredible features (Amoled display, glances, HRV, PulseOX, and other training information). If the training data from my Garmin 830 fed easily into the Epix Gen 2 for cycling ability and VO2 max, it would be a 5star rating.
When I got the offer to get this watch, I felt that I couldn't pass it up. I had my Fenix5S for about 5 years and really appreciated its durability. The Epix has the touch screen and I find it a lot more interesting to get the information I want off of the watch (like the weather of the day, some of the basic workout information (average heart rate, power, etc)). I am trying to recover from an Achilles Tendon problem that has derailed my training and that is tempering my review. I enjoy being able to get my Spotify playlists on the watch and listen without needing to drag a phone along. It wasn't a simple process to get the Spotify app on the watch but it was doable. The morning report is pretty cool. Overall, this is a feature packed watch that I hope I can make the most of with my training. The screen has pretty decent resolution and colors.
It has a beautiful display, rock hard screen, and amazing battery life. I do wish it had an always on screen but a willing to accept that trade off for the battery life. I love how the display shows battery life in days left. Definitely full featured and weighs for about every door imaginable.
I upgraded from a 920xt. I know. I was overdue. I was the type to only wear for training. It was a tank and still is and is why I stick with Garmin. I also have an iwatch and am an iPhone user. Bottomline, most impressed with the battery life and screen clarity and brightness. Makes iwatch seem like generations back. Garmin makes the superior training watch. I am a triathlete. The iwatch is a better partner for your iphone, although i do not miss it or feel like i need to go back to it whatsoever. I am actually looking to probably gift it or sell the iwatch. I do have the white band and its eye catching and looks sharp but it does attract the dirt and grime. I already told the kids its a great father’s day idea to put some new or different color garmin bands on the gift idea list. The Epix synced up with my sensors on all my training equipment easily. There is a little learning curve to the buttons and customization but nothing crazy.
I’ve been bouncing back and forth between the Fenix and Apple Watch for years, and the Epix has far and away the most beautiful display. The navigation features and pre loaded maps are what make this watch better than the Apple Watch Ultra. As long as you’re willing to trade voice to text capabilities from your watch, you’ll get a 15 day battery life, on a lightweight watch, with a bright display, and a ton of info at your fingertips.
