I got used to fenix 5x
on November 14, 2022
Posted by: Mastakailo
I had fenix 5x and I always compare epix to my previous watch.
I so wanted to set colored display , but now I need to charge watch more often, and I don’t like colors . I installs black/white watch face.

Titanium body so easy to scratch , after few month it became used like after few years of wear.
I bought it few month ago and now I try to sell it.

I. Love. This. Watch.

As someone who has wanted an adventure tracking watch, but not a portable phone on my wrist, this is about perfect. I do believe that the phone notifications could be better designed, but they're not bad. The battery life is outstanding for a watch with an always on OLED. The adventure and workout tracking is best in class. Really happy with this purchase

Would Recommend But Understand What You Get
on November 21, 2022
Posted by: CCD1
This is an expensive watch and there are cheaper options within the Garmin eco system and elsewhere. At first, I fretted that I wasted my money. However, over time, I have grown to appreciate the watch. First of all, if you get the regular version (which is cheaper) you get a watch that does not look like a sports/workout watch. Second, the battery life is outstanding, particularly for a watch that does as much as this watch does which I LOVE!!! Third, Garmin seems to be regularly sending out updates, some of which increase what this watch already does. On the negative side, like most devices that “do all” like this watch, it complicates doing some individual things. For example, I am a golfer and have the S60 Garmin golf watch. Both of these watches do golf, but the dedicated golf watch is just easier to use, IMHO. The other difference is that the S60 is much lighter than the Epix and I prefer the lighter watch for golf. In sum, for most people this watch will be a bit of a splurge. However, if you have the cash, this is the best every day watch with outstanding battery life and a TON of functionality. If I had to do it over again, I would still buy this watch.

Absolutely the Garmin watch to own
on November 23, 2022
Posted by: AeroSmith
Having swum with a Fenix 5 Saphire (I loved it) for what seems like forever (four years+) I switched to a Fenix 7S. I always had good experiences with the Fenix 5. I had thought a smaller watch would be more streamlined for my swimming. That was a mistake as the smaller screen proved unreadable for me at the pool without reading glasses. The Fenix 7S Saphire Solar also had some operational quirks (random shutdowns) and a short battery life. So I bit the bullet and ordered an Epix gen2. This thing is amazing!!! Frankly, I don't quite understand the Fenix series in light of the Epix. The OLED has twice the resolution of the Fenix 7 watches. The display is very bright and very clear! This is the display that, in the past, we all thought we were getting based on Garmin marketing pictures and were disapointed. Finally, a Garmin watch that actually has the bright display that looks like the marketing pics! I have no issues reading this watch in the pool without glasses in the bright sun. And the watch is very responsive operationally, very fast to respond to all user inputs. This thing blows my old Fenix 5, and frankly the newer 7S, away. It seems the battery life will likely be on par with my old Fenix 5, which was more than adequate and got me about a week+ without GPS but including daily swim workouts. So I'm a 6' swimmer guy and I actually ordered the silver/white watch and paired it with with a black nylon strap from the Garmin web site. The silver bezel with black band and silver hardware looks pretty sharp. Cheers!

Mr. Real estate approves
on November 24, 2022
Posted by: Swim, sleep, daily wear
I purchased my first Garmin a year ago. I went cheaper for my first one. I purchased the Venu 2. It was having trouble staying on, the quality of the case was not the best. Taking the boat out of the water it popped of my wrist and lost it in the lake. I am a large mechanical watch collector. The information I was getting on my sleep and works had me hooked. I started looking for a new upgrade. I purchased the fenix first. I had the XL first and it was just too big for daily wear. Although I loved the flashlight. I then went to the Fenix 41 and I really liked the solar charging options function. I just felt the display was bare and switched the the epix 2. So happy with it. I also love the addition info I get on my sleep and workouts. I even looked at Apple Watches but I decided I did not want more “screen time” in my life and really just use the watch for fitness. I am awaiting some new bands, the scale and heart monitor to come to be all in. Garmin makes great quality gear. I was disappointed in the first watches quality so I had to make sure to buy one with a better case

The no compromise Garmin
on November 24, 2022
Posted by: Franko20
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.

A Fenix You Can Read
on November 27, 2022
Posted by: Dead Man Running
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.

Excellent features and screen
on November 29, 2022
Posted by: Woohoo
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.
