I did buy the epix2 as a continuation of my history with farming product it’s very light great colorful bright screen, light easy to read while cycling, only thing I wish was size of screen in proportion to bezel size I wish the bezel smaller which will make the Watch more wearable.

Used for a week, just don’t like the size and weight of it. Going back to my Fenix 6x pro

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 bought this watch a couple weeks ago to replace my Fenix 3HR. WOW!!! What an upgrade in display and features. The display is fantastic and many excellent apps to track my fitness and health. HR sensor has definitely improved from my Fenix 3HR and now measures Ox level.

Pretty solid unit. Large device, but smaller than Garmin Fenix 6X (which was too bulky for running, IMHO). Clear/Bright screen/colors even in bright sunlight. Strong features and pretty good accuracy. Problems which could easily be corrected: (1) Please provide manual control of sleep tracking. As it is now, sleep/wake times for each day have to be entered in to the system, but who among is actually can predict the exact moments they will get into and out of bed?? Give us an option, not just to enter specific time frames, but also simply to turn-on/off sleep monitoring ourselves when we get in/out of bed each day. Easy software fix, if you ask me. (2) When are we going to have turn-by-turn notifications with left/right arrows?? To me, this is the simplest software fix! There were Garmin devices many years ago which had this feature, but for some reason, Garmin stopped supporting this feature and refuses to add it back in.

One word to describe this Watch… Amazing in every sense. Great job Garmin! Now put the same features, screen and size into the pilot watch! I’ll be waiting.

I bought this to take advantage of the new brighter screen and have been pleased with the purchase. I wish that Garmin and Apple played better together (i.e., take calls on the Garmin, respond to texts, etc.) but I'm not sure that Apple will allow that.

Love the screen! Like, LOVE IT! So easy to read, and battery life is still great. I'm not doing any multi week expeditions anytime soon, so a week long battery is plenty. I upgraded from the Fenix 5X Plus, which was too bulky for me to wear all day, the Epic 2 is the perfect size. I like the body battery function as well, and it seems pretty spot on in terms of how I feel through the day. Only negatives I can think of are the extra bands are ridiculously expensive, and Garmin added the customization option where you could order with a specific band after I ordered, so no way to get a different band without paying an absurd premium. Garmin please make some of those Nylon bands more affordable! And last thing is the watch is very sensitive to being near your phone. If you walk away from the phone a bit you get a lot of connection on and offs from your phone.
