Epix Gen2 mostly ok, not great.

Overall a pretty nice watch with lots of features and modes. However, the one feature I wanted it to be great at, heart rate monitoring, its kinda-sorta sucks at. WILDLY inconsistent results (usually way too low for activity level) which does not inspire confidence in its accuracy at all other times. Lots of similar reports after checking reviews on this feature fail. #dissapointed
I chose the EPIX because I was looking up reviews between the EPIX and the FENIX. I found that the EPIX fit better with individuals with smaller wrist. I am a female at 5'2 with a small frame. Functionality and size mattered to me. After receiving the EPIX is one of the best watches that I have owned and it tracks everything I do.
I have had zero issues with the watch. It tracks my swim workouts accurately and breaks down my outdoor runs and activities. I recently used it for a triathlon and won't do anything outdoors without it. This item is more for Intermediate/expert use based on all the functions the watch has. Will suit common watch wearers as it has a sense of style, but is rugged enough for extreme sport users.
Switched to the Epix after multiple generation of fenix. Absolutely love the display. All the functionality I could need and love the continued software upgrades. Great watch. May consider solar next time if available to help increase battery life beyond 1 week.
i've owned the fenix series and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. the bright display on the epix is amazing. the heart rate monitor is accurate and the overall watch is well made.
I've been using this to track my workouts, runs, sleep, recovery (resting HR and HRV), etc. It has been remarkably consistent and generally "agrees" with my other recovery device (the Whoop band) - but the two are sometimes a little off from each other but directionally aligned. The touchscreen is beautiful and easy to use and the satellite acquisition is fast. Battery life is great. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a top quality device to track running, hiking, steps, or recovery - it does it all. I will probably use 25% of the features on this thing. It's awesome!
