But unfortunately because I have full sleeves (tattoos) the sensors didn’t work .. it went back. The screen was amazing though, the capabilities sound great although I didn’t get to try them. I ended up settling for the venu just for he screen … anyhow, great looking watch with many capabilities.. just wish Someone could develop an optical sensor that would work on people with tats .. u til that day happens… basic metrics for me

This watch is really the Swiss army of watches. I love all of the stats it provides when working out but also that it gives recommendations based on your condition (which I find to be pretty accurate to how I feel). Plus it just looks beautiful so I can wear it out without looking like I have a computer strapped to my arm.

I am a lifelong runner who has to monitor health information. I love the Fenix but this watch is simply more legible. This is important to me because 5 days a week I run in the dark. I do miss the battery life but if ever I am in a situation where I cannot charge my watch for 6 days, write me off as dead.

I had Garmin Fenix before for many years and loved it and recommended it to many people. The Epix is just as good but with a gorgeous screen. I don't use it with the always on display and I get 1-2 weeks between charges depending on how many activities I do. Great for sports and outdoors enthusiasts, beginners and experts alike.
I’ll make it short: Amazing screen - both brightness and pixel definition 18 days of battery with daily gps/workout use Never going back to an Apple watch. Even the eventual Apple Watch Ultra 7 won’t have this battery life.
