When I bought this it was on sale. I felt like I wanted to upgrade my fenix 5 but I didn’t really know why. The features mainly the battery life far out performs the 5 as well as the button responses. I really like the weight of this watch as it feels solid. The default watch is something I really enjoy. At first I didn’t really know how I would like it but over time I can say the orange is a must have for me. Still working through the button flows and they seem laid out better than the 5. Your really can’t go wrong with it. I wish you didn’t need the other add on monitors. The Apple Watch is more intuitive than this and doesn’t require extra straps/monitors.
I always love this version of garmin, unfortunately theya re not going to conitnue with this anymore but so far is giving me all the specs that I need specially maps. Something that didn't work for me was the huge display that sometimes feels a alittle big bulky. I considere this item for beginner if you want something to consider before consdiering the new garmin options. Like I mentiones before be aware that this product is discontinued.

I received this two weeks ago. It is very useful. I like using it particularly on the golf course. Very accurate. Thank you.
I did buy a epix 2 week ago, I am planning to use it for golf and MTB sports,, so far my wearing the watch on my left hand does not help with my golf swing and tempo., extra mass on my left hand in giving me undesirable results Next time I will tray to wear the watch on my right arm and see if there is any difference.,
I've had the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire refurbished for about 2 weeks now, and it hasn't left my wrist. The sad thing is that a lot of the new software available for many other models, including the Epix Pro, is unavailable for the Gen2 Sapphire. Being a thousand-dollar watch only 3 years ago is somewhat sketchy on Garmin's part. I paid only 400 for this refurbished model, but if I had purchased this new 3 years ago, I would be much more irritated. All and all seems to be worth the 400 I spent, but if I had to do it again, I would have looked for a good deal on the Epix pro.
Snagged the Garmin Epix for a steal, and I’m loving it. Looks awesome, feels solid, and keeps up with all my home workouts — from push-ups to chasing the kids mid-set. Tracks everything, battery lasts forever, and it makes me feel like a pro even when I’m just lifting in the garage. Dad-approved and worth every penny.
