Thank you for your review and experience with the epix (Gen 2). We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny
I chose this over the Apple Watch Ultra because I needed a device that can talk to all my other devices. This does so seamlessly, and every day I am discovering cool features. The display is amazing and the battery is incredible. I’ve worn it 24h/day for two weeks and it still has a day or so of charge. 5 stars, worth every penny.

Overall, it looks very cool and works well. I get 7 days not 11 days on a charge but that's plenty. I find the interface with Garmin Connect to be variable. Often, I need to refresh several times to get weather to transfer. Accuracy is decent but not excellent. For example, I need to recalibrate altitude frequently and still get different data for the same spot. I stopped trying to use the elliptical and strength apps so if fitness tracing is your need look elsewhere. On strength it was terrible at tracking reps. I'm not sure how it is supposed to detect reps but it simply doesn't.

The screen and features are why I had to have the Epix Gen 2. The amoled screen is nicely visible in the sun. No regrets! I do want Garmin to make the UltraFit band for other models. I find the nylon bands more comfortable even though their silicone versions are better than average.

Despite the fact that there is some argument regarding the accuracy of their measurements, this tool exposes you to all sorts of concepts to weigh in mind while training. The battery life is stellar. It allows me to track multi-way missions with ease. Finding proper wrist placement is a big concern regarding accuracy of their stress metrics. It's easily worth the money if you can afford it.
I’ve had my epix2 for just about one month. I chose it for the screen, the mtn biking capabilities, and pool swimming coupled with general health stuff. Overall I like it and am impressed with the caloric expenditure info. I haven’t been able to test the biking features yet, but look forward to in spring. I lift a lot and do like the weight lifting capabilities, hoping it’s accurate on caloric expenditure. Major downfall I see so far: 1: the lap swimming needs some software tweaks. It will often short my swims by 25 yards/100 yards swum. In other words, I swim 4 laps and it shows 75 yards. Really?! And no way to manually correct it. Also, this thing has GPS, so why can’t it record my drills, like kicking laps?? If it won’t record that distance then at least make a software update so I can specifically enter what my drill is, how far, then estimate my calories and all from that and heart rate. I’m wondering if Samsung or Polar are better at these. 2: I’ll fully charge it and it will say 14 days life. I have the watch face set to gesture, so not always on. As soon I get to the gym it starts dropping fast. After my last charge I was at 9 days after working a bunch (5 days). Then I workout my day off, lift and swim. 2-2.5 hours. And it’s down to 4 days. I plan to keep closer track of this..
