I bought the Epix (gen 2) a few weeks ago and was nervous at first as I've had the Forerunner 945 for quite a while now but I absolutely LOVE this watch. The graphics are incredible, I love the touch screen feature and the trust and confidence I've always had with Garmin products continues with the Epix. I was originally worried about the battery life but even with running 3-4 days in a row, and listening to music, the battery still lasts for 4-5 days. If you are on the fence with grabbing this watch, do yourself a favor and snag it! You will not regret the decision!

For those of us getting on in years, the brighter screen is extremely helpful, I can actually read some of the notifications etc without having to pull out my reading glasses.
The touch screen is great, but while working around the yard etc things will bump it change the screen. It's not like a lot of touch screen where just your finger will activate it. However, I love the feature as a whole.
All the other things it does are just great, like their entire Fenix lineup. They don't make deciding what watch to get easy. I have enjoyed all the watches I have owned (Fenix 3, 6 and now Epix 2) and I like the Garmin ecosystem.

Upgraded from a Fenix 6S sapphire and I am more than pleased with my new Epix 2. The screen hands down along with the maps being in color while I’m on my hike are fantastic and so worth it! Wish they offered a smaller band option for women who wear the watch however, but other than that very pleased Had to contact customer support last week due to a setting on the watch being inadvertently turned off, he fixed it in no time flat.

I debated whether the new features were worth the upgrade from what I thought as a perfectly fine Fenix 5X. After 2 weeks of use I'm happy I made the purchase. The display is much more clear and bright, yet the battery still lasts almost a week (Always on display except during sleep). Changing the display settings to only come on when I look at my wrist would make it last even longer. Also, the ability to turn only turn the touchscreen on when using specific activities (times I want to use the map) is a god send. The map is much more usable with a touchscreen, but I don't have to use it any other time and risk inadvertent touches. Highly recommend

I have been a Fenix user for a couple of years with the 5S and then the 6S. This time I opted for the Epix 2 and I am thrilled with the Epix. The touch screen makes navigating options easier, the AMOLED display is fantastic but does not impact battery length with the option to activate only when you lift your wrist. The native fitness options that provide tracking are on point. The Epix 2 is THE fitness smartwatch to get.
