Fabulous watch!!!!
on September 13, 2023
Posted by: Amazing watch!
I bought this watch a few weeks ago as an upgrade to my Coros. I could not be happier! It’s light and comfortable to wear. The quality of the screen is beyond any sports watch display I have used. I also love how customizable the watch face is.
I love to hike in the PNW where I live. I have found the data with regard to mileage, elevation, and navigation to be spot on. It also acquires a GPS signal in the blink of an eye (while my Coros would take up to 3-5 minutes at times). I have yet to encounter a storm while wearing this watch in the mountains, but I appreciate the storm alert feature to let me know when there is a sudden drop In barometric pressure. The widgets are amazing as well! I bought this watch to use mostly for activity purposes, but find I am now wearing it as my every day watch instead of my Apple Watch. As for battery life- I have a very small wrist, thus the 42 mm is the only size that fits, so my battery life is about 10 days depending on my activity. I have heard the battery life on the larger models is exceptional though. If I had any advice for Garmin it would be to offer all sizes and colors in both standard and sapphire glass. I would have preferred the standard in order to save $100, but I didn’t want the rose/white band option, I wanted black on black which only comes in the sapphire.
Overall I am ecstatic with my Epix Pro!

Loaded with Features!

There is a learning curve for the user but the information the watch can track and relay is abundant and very interesting. It has been 1 month and I still have lots to learn.

Great watch
on December 29, 2023
Posted by: Chilly127
Just got this, is my first smart/gps watch...so far very impressed...was able to figure out most everything I wanted so far, next is to a course...I bought this for a trip this spring to Switzerland and wanted piece of mind with my hiking ...few things so far...surprised at 2 hiking locations it didn't detect the trails...but yet my local walking path did...hoping all my trails in Switzerland show up. Also, I had Amazon music....after may attempts gave up and just switched my service to spotify...and was so easy to set up. I love all the health tracking...especially the sleep as I'm not a good sleeper and the watch confirmed that. I like the flash light, so handy in a pinch! I know the epix gen 2 pro 42mm is new....but some snazzy bands would be a addition especially the elastic bands. Overall super happy with my purchase.

Huge improvement over Fenix!
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: Drlane
It’s been discussed ad-naseum, but the AMOLED is a huge improvement to the Fenix line. I love the 42mm sizing on my 17cm wrist, however, the provided silicone band is too small. Garmin please consider including or making a longer strap option for those that simply prefer the smaller watch face.

It is okay
on January 10, 2024
Posted by: Andrea3
I got this a couple of weeks ago, I like the look and that it is a lightweight watch on my wrist, especially for sleeping. Some of the features are a little difficult to figure out, I've watched a number of YouTube videos to try to help. Sometimes the watch will do weird things or randomly stop activity while I am in the middle of it (I have turned off the touch screen function so that I do not accidentally hit it during activity). I do like the watch, but for the price, I think some enhancements could be made.

Little detail support for Epix Pro (Gen 2)
on January 12, 2024
Posted by: Alleycat
I was extremely excited to transition from my Apple watch to the Garmin Epix pro (Gen 2). I primarily transition for better tracking of strength training workouts. However, I still have not completely figured out how to utilize for self designed strength training workouts that track the entire workout and don't require me to start and stop at each set. Currently, it counts my entire workout as one set and I'm unclear if that is distorting the other reporting information, such as the acute load.
