The display is icing on an already great cake!

Loving the Epix 2. It’s incredibly versatile, more features than I’ll ever use, and you can add more via the Connect store. I do wish I could add naps to the sleep tracking.

Returned it

My experience it’s poorly designed for easy use, five buttons for functionality was confusing. Probably a great watch for the small % of ultra marathoners among us. Didn’t like that it didn’t synchronize with my phone.

Wonderful upgrade
on February 28, 2023
Posted by: Utahskies
I upgraded from my Fenix 5 and am really enjoying the improvements while at the same time, appreciating that the buttons still function as before. So no need to retrain my finger memory. Of course, love the new screen, but the software updates (esp compared to my 5) are great. Many more health and fitness aids than before.

The Epix is Fun
on March 1, 2023

I didn't need this electronic device, however I don't regret the purchase. It has a lot of features built into a miniature device. First and foremost the GPS will lay a track better than 4 handheld GPS's I currently own (e.g., under a forested canopy). I make my own maps and a have been able to update most of the map tracks to my local mountain bike trails. I have these custom maps uploaded to the Epix.
The heart rate monitor seems accurate and will work for hiking/walking, but get yourself a chest strap for other activities.
Sleep tracking is good. Battery life is not an issue, and the device charges fast!
Size and weight of watch is fine and not intrusive.
While setting navigation to a projected waypoint or using the map is a bit awkward, it works well and can be used (and set) during an activity (think kayaking in a fog bank).
Compass seems very accurate and is calibrated at the factory.
The multiple watch faves are attractive and easy to read and can contain 7 (or more?) fields of information.
Problems... Using a earbuds (Bluetooth) and a chest strap heart rate monitor will cause the heart rate monitor to disconnect frequently. However, this is the only issue I've had.
Overall, very satisfied with this device after a month of use and recording 20 activities.

The distance feature is off and gives very inconsistent readings.
Switcoto Battery Saver and now I can’t switchback.

I bought the Epix for international travel and walking around. Yes its a fitness watch...but along side that ...it changes time zones anutomatically, has a beautiful clear display , I walk a lot around european cities...more like hiking around. It keeps measure of that. and when I do go out for a hike - its geared for that
