Happy to see this deal come up on Sam's. I've been following this product and knew it would be closing out before the Fexix 8 came out. It does a remarkable amount of activities and detailed stats that one could need. It is an excellent buy while still available!

I've had this Epix for about a year now and decided I should give a rating for anyone interested. I'm very happy with this watch and Garmin overall. I'm a long time fan boy of their products (I own a Marine Chartplotter and an RV GPS). I think their best feature is usability. The UI is familiar yet feature packed and everything just works. No wonky software, no botched updates and very durable. Everything I need in a smart fitness watch and nothing I don't. I'll get another Garmin when this one ages out .

If you're tired of a certain fruit watch dying by days end, the Garmin Epix is your next purchase. Dozens of features, hundreds of face options and a battery that lasts well over a week. The Epix is stylish and so much cheaper than any fruit watch.

Garmin makes the best GPS %26 Fitness Trackers. It doesn't have exactly as much integration with my iPhone as an Apple Watch Ultra, that means I look at the Garmin Connect App rather than Apple Health App for the same stats, %26 text through my phone rather than watch. For the GPS %26 activity tracking it's worth that trade.

I started my hike/backpack watch use with the Garmin Fenix 3. Once you learn which buttons are linked to which features, it is easy! I love how easy it is to view the watch face especially as I get older! The one thing to keep in mind with all smart watches, you need to update the watch on a regular basis.

I was gifted this watch by a friend who isn't a fan of Garmin. Best gift ever! The battery lasts forever! The screen auto-locks when in an activity so if I bump the watch on something, the stat is still running. It's not too heavy but is a solid. They discontinued this line but I would re-buy this watch every-time. Zero complaints.

This watch "The Epix" is an awesome watch that pretty much does evrything. I bought the venue 3 to try out garmin after leaving my apple watch 11. I find the Garmin watch to be an fanastic watch with superb battery life. I went on vacation for two weeks and didn't need to bring a charger. My daughter had her apple and was charging it daily. So the Garmin Epix is superb and if I could give it a 10 on the scale I would. Can't wait to buy another one eentuallly. But these watches are just out of this world for performance and reliability.

This is a phenomenal watch and because it was a 2022 release, you can get it at deeply discounted prices now, i only have two issues with it: - The elevation data seems to always be over stated compared to strava and even other garmin models. Somehow I havent been able to figure that one out. - garmin has stopped sending new updates to it, for example, Fenix 8 has rucking but our generation (Fenix7/Epix) will not get it and this is a business decision. Our watch is perfectly capable of being able to host a rucking app which allows you to enter pack weight etc BUT they just don't want to send it!

I bought for the sole purpose of the dog tracking thru the Alpha 300. Linked fine but then wouldn't leave the map page. Spent 2 hours in the phone with support, they couldn't figure it out either. Next day happened to hit a different sequence of buttons and it worked - per the written instruction it should not have worked. Once working, I liked the function of the dog tracking but in the Pro View the directional arrow is too small. It's hard to see at a glance - you have to really look at it which somewhat defeats the purpose of the watch.
