I purchased this because they no longer make the Swim2. I am a competitive Masters Swimmer but also do triathlons. In the swim feature this watch is completely screwed up regarding calorie count. I still have my Swim2 but it no longer holds a charge more than a day. I have been wearing them both during swim practice. The swim2 still keeps track of everything but has always been a little off on yardage. I may swim 4000yds and the Swim2 tracks only 3600 (despite it being all swimming, not kicking). The Epix is accurate for yardage but INACURRATE for calories. It has tracked that I've burned 200 less calories than swim2 on some days. Other days it thinks I've burned 2600 calories in an hour of swimming. That is a bit frustrating. Also, the sleep measure is off. If I go to sleep at 8:50pm I'm asleep by a little after 9pm yet the Epix data says I fell alseep at 10:15pm?? The Epix is much higher tech than swim2 with tons more features because also used for triathlons or lots of other activities. I have an old Garmin Forerunner 935 that I've kept using for running and biking so I really didn't need to spend the $ on Epix but thought it would be as good as Swim2. It isn't.
On the Plus side, all the fancy features, including O2 sat monitoring are nice.
If you are looking for a new high tech multi-sport watch I think Epix is great in that regard. However, if you are a swimmer, and just want a Swim2 replacement you can probably find something to do the job at a lower price tag. I've added pictures of the inaccurate calorie count. Also, my recovery HR was never as low as it documents.

Hi! I would recommend pairing your chest strap with your new watch. This should help clear up the issue you saw with high calorie count. If you still have an issue, I found some articles that might be helpful for you.
• "How are Calories Burned Calculated For a Swim Activity on a Garmin Watch?" - http://ms.spr.ly/6425t6vEh
• "Burned Calories Calculated on My Garmin Device Are Wrong" - http://ms.spr.ly/6426t6v16
For sleep tracking, with the duration the watch uses heart rate to track it. If your heart rate was higher in the beginning, then settled that would be why you saw a delay. You can also edit the duration in the Garmin Connect app if you would like.
You can also call our phone number for North America is 1-800-800-1020. The office is opened Monday through Friday, between 7am - 7pm Central Time.

I bought this watch a few weeks ago and I love it. I like the morning recap I get everyday when I wake up. It provides information on how well I slept and recovered. I like that I have the ability to customize what it reports on. I had a Venu2 and I really liked that watch as well but the epix Pro has more features that I love like maps which comes in handy when I hike. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

This is my first Garmin watch and I love it. Love the wallet pay and the ability to listen to my music. I have used the light and it came in handy a couple of times already. I am very happy with this purchase. Highly recommend.

I got my watch about two weeks ago and I actually traded my Apple Watch for it. I still haven’t apple but this watch has surpassed the apple by far. I love all of the features. Weather health fitness!! Literally all the things I care about. The only thing I was bummed about is the battery. I bought my husband the 51mm for Christmas and loved all that he showed me it could do but also his 31 day battery life with mine only getting 10 days. That was a disappointment.
