Epix is Epic

The Epix 2 has bright and vibrant OLED that is truly amazing to view indoor and outdoor. I upgraded from the Fenix 6 Titanium Sapphire and always found the screens on the Fenix 5,6 and after looking at the 7 to be a hit washed out. The 16 day battery life of the Epix is more than enough for me and the accuracy of the sensors always top notch. It would be great to see some enhancements to the software to improve workout detection and one day some ability to respond to txt messages at the very least if not some calling capabilities. Overall a wonderfully device and leader in the space that sets the bar high!

1. the flashlight mode sometimes turns on by itself. 2. back button does not click. 3. down button clicks twice: when depressed and then when released.

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
Tried to wait for the New Forerunner, tried the Venu 2 Plus but the Epic 2 is the way to go. There’s options for everything you need. Buy the Watch- Link up your Spotify and go for a run. Having a Watch like this will make you go out Run/Hike/Swim and the Screen is ridiculous on a run. Buy the Watch- Stop making excuses- Better than Apple.

I upgraded from a fenix 6x and am so happy I did. The display is spectacular, and having touch screen functionality makes using maps on the fly so much more practical. Sure, the battery life is a little shorter with heavy gps and display use but it is still plenty long enough for multi day trips in the backcountry. I debated about the 7x versus this but I am really glad I went with the epix

The display is what really sets this watch apart. It’s bright, high resolution and rich with color. The watch is feature packed as you’d expect. The companion apps (Garmin ConnectIQ for example) need some UI and UX love however. The battery like takes a big hit due to the AMOLED screen, but it’s a worthwhile trade off. That being said though is where the key feature is missing - a solar option like the Fenix 6 and 7.
