Exceeds all expectations, great piece of gear!

Bought this about a month ago for use in tracking fitness and use on golf course. It has exceeded all expectations and without a doubt is the best fitness watch I have ever owned. Very easy to use! The golf function is superb, easy to read and very accurate. I have owned many golf measuring devices, the Epic is by far the best I have ever used. Battery life is second to none.

Updated from the fr945 and this is fantastic with the great display visibility and touch capability. About the same life as the 945 so no compromises!

Phenomenal watch
on March 13, 2022
Posted by: Steve375
This is my fourth Garmin and my third Fenix so I was familiar with features and functionality. What sets this watch apart from the others is the incredible display, a true game changer. Easily visible in all conditions, including bright sun light. I went for a run with my Fenix 6 Pro Solar for a comparison and never I thought I would say this about a Fenix, but was disappointed…the screen on the Epix is really that good.

Amazing! Not as durable as I thought.
on March 15, 2022
Posted by: mana22
I have been wearing my epix for about one month. Truly, it is an amazing watch, however, my heart broke when I noticed a blemish on the bezel. I will give you some personal background so you understand how I care for my watch.
Personally, the amount of money for the epix, I consider, a lot of money. I researched and saved prior to making what I believe a “big purchase”. Although, I presumed this watch as the most durable I have worn, I still took precautions when wearing just based off the price. I never wear it during kettle bell workouts, take it off prior to showering, even take it off prior to doing my hair. Furthermore, I am very cognizant of my movement when wearing it such as, bumping it into door ways, etc… This is just all based off of me feeling if I spend this much money on a watch, I want to take care of it.
Today, I randomly noticed a blemish on the bezel which completely surprised me due to how I care for this watch. I have never once dropped it, banged it against anything, or have any situation happen that would make me consider so.
Possibly this is just a blemish on my watch that I failed to notice when I received it, or could be a weakness in the design. Even though pictures don’t capture it well, I have attached them to show even though it is a very small blemish.
Regardless of this, the epix is a great watch that I have enjoyed using! Hopefully, this is was just a blemish I failed to notice when unboxing.
As for tech/specs
Even with a small wrist, this looks great. Using it to track sleep and workouts is such a bonus for me.
I hope this review helps!

Stunning screen, comprehensive features
on March 16, 2022
Posted by: pattera5
I have been training with the epix for about a month now, upgrading from a forerunner 645M. My motivation was primarily for extended battery life for single gps activities, and I struggled to make a decision between the fenix 7 and epix. I decided that the epix offered more than plenty battery, and the higher screen resolution would benefit maps (which was a feature I didn't have before but was very much interested in). I am not disappointed, I love the screen, and am enjoying the huge feature set. Some features, and activities, I will never use, and some are of limited use to me, but it's reassuring that this expensive watch should cover all my needs and more for years to come.
The GPS is great, I rarely had issues with my 645, but the tracks on the epix are spot on in the open, in the city the tracks still struggle a little but are vastly improved.
The only negative is the size, it's bigger than I'm used to, and the Fenix 7s would probably have worked for me, but with the loss of screen resolution - but I have no regrets with chosing the epix, and will probably get used to the larger watch (just like the 645)

The screen is worth the upgrade.
on March 16, 2022
Posted by: ScrewIt
This was an upgrade from a Fenix 6 Sapphire, so feature wise many functions are incremental upgrades. The screen, however, makes the device. Battery life is nominally worse as a result, but there are the usual options to disable functions if extra life is required.

Great watch with a lot of Features
on March 16, 2022

This watch has so many features that it is taking awhile to learn them all. But that is the great thing about this watch, learning how to use it properly.
