My Second Garmin
on January 18, 2023

I have owned my Epix Gen 2 for a month now and love it. I upgraded from a Venu 2 that I have had for over a year. I like the additional information and statistics that I get with the Epix even though I am not a super athlete. I am 72 years old and play pickleball 3 days a week... Ride my bicycle at least 10 miles on the other days. The looks of the watch are also a great feature for me. It looks less like a smartwatch and more like a sport watch.

Never thought I'd want a smart watch...
on January 20, 2023

I gave the Epix a try while my "main watch" was being serviced and I have to say that I'm super impressed with all the features! I run, paddleboard, and hike and this watch allows me to keep track of all my activities plus it has helped me to improve my running quite a bit. The aesthetics of the watch are not bad at all either!
If you like exercising/outdoor activities and want a cool device that can keep up with you, look no further!
Now the negative: I got the Epix back in October 2022 and it died on me two months later (watch stayed in an endless reboot loop all of a sudden). Garmin was kind enough to send me a replacement and I'm really hoping that this one doesn't have the same issue...

The watch has many great features. Learning how to use them is not easy.

Verdict still out
on January 24, 2023
Posted by: drPhil23
I’ve had my epix2 for just about one month. I chose it for the screen, the mtn biking capabilities, and pool swimming coupled with general health stuff. Overall I like it and am impressed with the caloric expenditure info. I haven’t been able to test the biking features yet, but look forward to in spring.
I lift a lot and do like the weight lifting capabilities, hoping it’s accurate on caloric expenditure.
Major downfall I see so far:
1: the lap swimming needs some software tweaks. It will often short my swims by 25 yards/100 yards swum. In other words, I swim 4 laps and it shows 75 yards. Really?! And no way to manually correct it. Also, this thing has GPS, so why can’t it record my drills, like kicking laps?? If it won’t record that distance then at least make a software update so I can specifically enter what my drill is, how far, then estimate my calories and all from that and heart rate. I’m wondering if Samsung or Polar are better at these.
2: I’ll fully charge it and it will say 14 days life. I have the watch face set to gesture, so not always on. As soon I get to the gym it starts dropping fast. After my last charge I was at 9 days after working a bunch (5 days). Then I workout my day off, lift and swim. 2-2.5 hours. And it’s down to 4 days. I plan to keep closer track of this..

Amazing tracker

The screen and features are why I had to have the Epix Gen 2. The amoled screen is nicely visible in the sun. No regrets! I do want Garmin to make the UltraFit band for other models. I find the nylon bands more comfortable even though their silicone versions are better than average.

Great Functionality But Some Limitations
on January 28, 2023
Posted by: PTF1
Overall, it looks very cool and works well. I get 7 days not 11 days on a charge but that's plenty. I find the interface with Garmin Connect to be variable. Often, I need to refresh several times to get weather to transfer. Accuracy is decent but not excellent. For example, I need to recalibrate altitude frequently and still get different data for the same spot.
I stopped trying to use the elliptical and strength apps so if fitness tracing is your need look elsewhere. On strength it was terrible at tracking reps. I'm not sure how it is supposed to detect reps but it simply doesn't.
