I have since "upgraded" to the Fenix 8 and honestly miss this epix watch. The software on the epix is much quicker and the buttons are much more responsive. The only reason I upgraded was for the longer battery life, but the epix charged so quickly that wasn't as much of an issue as I thought. Fantastic watch.

I've had the watch for a few years and I am OK happy with it. It does everything I thought it would do when I bought it except I thought it had all maps pre loaded. Instead it has only North america and you can load others as needed. The watch periodiaclly disconnects and needs to be re connected resulting in a long process and re registering.
Purchased as a replacement to an Apple Watch. I love the feel along battery life. Still navigating the app and getting used to it as I find it a bit confusing. But overall love it
Garmin Epix Gen 2: Tough, Sharp, and Built to Perf

The Epix Gen 2 is a great‑looking, super‑durable watch that performs really well. No matter how you use it—training, exploring, or everyday life—it delivers
The golf features are comprehensive and usually reliable. I had only one issue , which was the screen. Garmin replaced the watch promptly, without any problems.
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.
Now that I’ve owned this watch for 1-1/2 years worn daily for work and everything I will say it’s the most durable watch I’ve ever had. While it’s scratched up and shows its use now it still works as good and reliable as the first day I put it on. I have just bought a second watch hopefully for a slightly better battery life while in the backcountry. (The fenix 7x pro).

Great Triathlon Watch, Great Value

I bought this model when it was first released, wore it daily, and competed in several races per year. Recently I started having a bit of trouble with one of the buttons and Garrmin simply offered a refurbished replacement which I agreed to. The Epix2 is still an incredible device when compared to many of the newer versions. For the money, and features I need, it'd be hard to justify a different model.
