Bought this about a month ago for use in tracking fitness and use on golf course. It has exceeded all expectations and without a doubt is the best fitness watch I have ever owned. Very easy to use! The golf function is superb, easy to read and very accurate. I have owned many golf measuring devices, the Epic is by far the best I have ever used. Battery life is second to none.

I replaced my Fenix 6 with this Epic Gen2 and love the new watch. There have been some updates to apps but mostly the new screen is worth it. I use my watch for all my activities; golf, skiing, biking, hiking and weight lifting. I love the details I get on all my workouts

I'm happy with it. It's not as user friendly as other smart watches but it's tough as nails and does what I need my smartwatch to do. The screen resolution is top notch and it has some really good features in it. Don't expect your Epix to do all the things an Apple Watch does. But what the epix does do, it does excellent

I have been training with the epix for about a month now, upgrading from a forerunner 645M. My motivation was primarily for extended battery life for single gps activities, and I struggled to make a decision between the fenix 7 and epix. I decided that the epix offered more than plenty battery, and the higher screen resolution would benefit maps (which was a feature I didn't have before but was very much interested in). I am not disappointed, I love the screen, and am enjoying the huge feature set. Some features, and activities, I will never use, and some are of limited use to me, but it's reassuring that this expensive watch should cover all my needs and more for years to come. The GPS is great, I rarely had issues with my 645, but the tracks on the epix are spot on in the open, in the city the tracks still struggle a little but are vastly improved. The only negative is the size, it's bigger than I'm used to, and the Fenix 7s would probably have worked for me, but with the loss of screen resolution - but I have no regrets with chosing the epix, and will probably get used to the larger watch (just like the 645)

The display is what really sets this watch apart. It's bright, high resolution and rich with color. The watch is feature packed as you'd expect. The companion apps (Garmin ConnectIQ for example) need some UI and UX love however. The battery like takes a big hit due to the AMOLED screen, but it's a worthwhile trade off. That being said though is where the key feature is missing - a solar option like the Fenix 6 and 7.

I was a Fenix user and loved the watch but when watching reviews comparing the Fenix and the Epix the bright more visible dial caught my eye. With the new Fenix and update I felt obligated to get a watch with functions I didn't want to get the size and DL capacity. I have no need for solar power. Even spending multiple days in the backcountry I have never lost battery with the Fenix or Epix. And if I'm out for a long time I will have a solar panel for other electronics. But I'm more diligent with shutting it off or using battery save mode when not using it. I took a chance on trying this watch and honestly will never go back! It's SO much easier to see the maps! And being able to touch screen to move it is a dream! I hike/climb and backpack. I find myself using the buttons more often then not but love the touch screen for things like that. I was nervous with the 47 size but find it to be SO much more comfortable. If you find yourself in the fence between the 2 and don't care about the solar. But want the maps and space to DL and comfort! Go with the Epix! You will not miss the Fenix!!

The readability and tracking is phenomenal. Battery life with everything on is adequate. I charge twice a week and use the GPS daily for activities. If you take on a longer trip you would need a battery pack, or you would need to adjust your settings.

I chose the EPIX because I was looking up reviews between the EPIX and the FENIX. I found that the EPIX fit better with individuals with smaller wrist. I am a female at 5'2 with a small frame. Functionality and size mattered to me. After receiving the EPIX is one of the best watches that I have owned and it tracks everything I do.

I have owned my Epix for approximately 3 weeks. I enjoy having the ability to track sleep, workouts, heart rate, altitude, maps, and weather. One caveat though, is that before the update I was able to see weather on my watch without my phone being on. Now weather doesn't display unless my phone is on and the connect app running. What happens if you are in a deep woods mountain hike with no cell service? We'll just pray you don't get trapped by inclement weather. That is my biggest complaint and concern. I believe the weather should update a few times a day and have all the data for the day. Weather should work offline like the maps.

Music on the run and no phone in my pocket is freeing. Creating intervals on the app and not on the watch is a big leap forward in ease of use. After a bike ride so much useful information becomes available. I love having the HRM connect with Zwift and other apps. Anyone into fitness can be motivated by using this watch. It's beautiful to wear even when not working out. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.
