Not too Smart Yet

I bought the Epix Gen 2 thinking that I was buying a truly awesome smartwatch but sadly found that most of the apps or functions still require you to figure out which side button you needed to use to move between functions instead of being able to scroll with your finger. Ya, the Epix Gen 2 has some really cool functions but coming from a Samsung smartwatch to this was a move back to the future. Garmin should call this an almost smartwatch.

I bought the Epix 2 to help with backcountry navigation. My first trip into the backcountry with the watch resulted in spot-on navigation. I veered off my course twice, and the watch corrected me within ten meters of missing a turn.

I've had the watch now a month. It looks great and does so much with the preloaded apps. With 32GB (I have the Sapphire face) additional memory available you can add so much more. Only thing I wish ---- that it came in a 45mm model size also.

I use this watch to track all the activity stats for running, biking, cycling and backcountry hiking. It certainly give the user the best GPS location tracking but it also captures and displays heart rate and heart rate zone, blood pressure, speed, pace, distance, elevation, location and many more. It also tracks your daily life like sleep, steps, body battery, and wraps this up in a fitness age. Lastly, the 64,000 colors give a clear and easy to read data screens and map displays to include top maps.
I used to use a Polar.. then an Apple Watch...and for a serious athlete, the Garmin Epix is better on essentially every dimension. The software is better. The watch looks better. The OMLED screen is, indeed, stunning. The heart rate tracking is excellent. The sleep tracking is informative and easy to use. Put simply, I love this device and couldn't be happier.

I am by no means an expert but I’m very impressed. My focus was on improving my health and I think this device is really helping. Battery life runs 16 days which I think is quite good.
