Had the Epix for a month after retiring my Forerunner 835 after 5 years. So many new features that I was shocked. I already cancelled my Whoop subscription as this watch does it all.

Coming from a Fenix 5, I love the new touch interface, as well as the touchable data zones. Looks great indoors. Only disappointment is in the sunlight walking/running/biking

Love this watch! If you are active, want to be active, soon to be active this watch is for you! There is nothing it can't track, GPS is amazing, display is bright and beautiful, lots of personal customizations possible. You won't be disappointed.

Super recommended watch if you are an athlete or simply want to have the best smartwatch on the market. The battery life is very good compared to an Apple Watch or a Samsung Watch (6 days using all functions) The interface of the watch is very complete. At first you'll have a hard time learning where all the menus and functions are, but then you'll enjoy the whole interface. The 5 buttons are super useful and work great. You get used to just using the buttons, you won't end up using the touch screen. It's worth what it costs. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your review and experience with the Instinct. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny
I’ve been wearing my epix 24/7 for about 10 months now. I absolutely love it! It’s been my training partner for all distances, 10k, half, and full marathon. The GPS accuracy is crazy good and the software updates have only made the Epix even better! Make sure to select the auto-select GPS mode. I wish I could rapidly respond to texts… but that’s more on Apple than Garmin. The AMOLED screen is amazing and never had any visibility issues, even at peak sunlight during Virginia summer.

The AMOLED screen was the primary differentiator for me buying the Epix over the Fenix 7. Though the Epix does have some touchscreen function, the buttons were a little difficult to get used to, after having a Vivoactive 4. Still the on screen data and battery life of the Epix compared to the my older watch and even the 7, is pretty amazing and more than enough for my fitness purposes.
I’m a triathlete and I’ve had this watch for 2 weeks and absolutely love it! Previously, I’ve worn Fenix, Enduro and a couple of Forerunners. The AMOLED display is terrific. Battery life is solid and it works just like it’s supposed to. A home run for me.
