I purchased the Epix (gen 2) as an upgrade to my Fenix 5. Good watch with several features that Fenix 5 does not have. Got in on sale but if the Fenix 7 had been on sale at same price I probably would have purchased that since the display is better.
I upgraded from the Instinct Tactical after 5 years and this Epix 47mm is sick. Huge upgrade across the board with a lot of functionality that I have yet to explore.
This is my first touchscreen watch that also has the HRV feature. I have worn for two weeks now and it is starting to display initial results. The battery life is much better than my Forerunner 755 and it appears to more accurately track my widely varying HR when at rest, sleeping and working out.
I am now a month in on the epic watch. I am absolutely loving this watch. I was coming from the Apple Ultra to the Garmin Epic. I love the battery life, special features, and the sleek look of the Garmin watch.
I have been a long time Forerunner user. Though I have not tested this watch on an ultra yet, the daily features are really useful. Having a morning summary is useful and I’ve enjoyed the improved hr monitor and training readiness. The watch feels solid and no different weight-wise on my wrist than the forerunner. The screen is incredible, as is the battery life. Even with multiple activities per day and wearing it to sleep, I’m still only charging once a week. Added bonus, the white color is much better than expected. I was concerned at first but I’ve grown to like it. Very happy all around with the upgrade!
Amazing screen compared to my Fenix 6, love the touch screen capability and vividness of the colors. Functionality seems pretty close, haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life yet. Another great Garmin product1
