I bought this second hand. So far it has been a great experience. It calculates everything I need it to, and has nice animations and features. Very customizable. I feel like the screen could be bigger, as the glass part is bigger than the screen part. I maybe could have gotten the 965 to better suite my needs, but I like the IU much better, and the extra ruggedness is nice.

Bought this on release day received it very shortly after. I have owned every Fenix watch from the original to the 6x Pro Solar. The Epix is by far the best Garmin watch I have ever owned. The screen is absolutely gorgeous. I love having the ability to use the touch screen for day-to-day use and shut it off during activities. The AMOLED screen is a major game-changer for me as I have owned apple watches and loved their screens. If you are on the fence between an Epix and the latest Fenix 7 I would strongly suggest going with the Epix, you will not be disappointed.

I'm really happy with my Epix 2. The screen is beautiful and I love the integration with Trainging Peaks so all my structured workouts are on here. Had an issue with my first one after a few months but garmin promptly sent a brand new one which was awesome.

I debated whether the new features were worth the upgrade from what I thought as a perfectly fine Fenix 5X. After 2 weeks of use I'm happy I made the purchase. The display is much more clear and bright, yet the battery still lasts almost a week (Always on display except during sleep). Changing the display settings to only come on when I look at my wrist would make it last even longer. Also, the ability to turn only turn the touchscreen on when using specific activities (times I want to use the map) is a god send. The map is much more usable with a touchscreen, but I don't have to use it any other time and risk inadvertent touches. Highly recommend

Coming from a Fenix 6, I was concerned about the battery life of the EPIX with AMOLED screen. But Garmin's implementation of “gesture mode” is so good, I am getting LONGER battery life than with the Fenix. And the screen is sublime - perfectly readable in all conditions.

This watch was in fact more than what I was expecting with the Fenix 7 release. Quite an easy choice between the two watches. I do have a tiny wrist, so had pick between the watch that fit me 7s and the watch I wanted to fit (Epix). If Garmin could offer a 45mm and a 51mm in Epix, it would be ideal. I do love the AMOLED display and the battery life is fabulous compared to an Apple Watch.

I have a Fenix 6 and added this to the collection in order to get touch screen. The Fenix 6 was robust and I liked everything about it except having to button through menus. Touch screen has alleviated this frustration. My use for this watch is primarily for tracking fitness which is excels at. I went with white for something different. I would have gone silver if it were offered.

Superb watch and a major improvement from my Fenix 5. The display is simply incredible and it has all of the features I love from my Fenix 5 plus many more. Battery life is awesome using the gesture mode - 16 days! Combination of touch screen and hard keys is just right and very user friendly.

I love the features of this watch. Easy to navigate. Set most features using Garmin connect on my iPhone. Many days without recharging. Handy flashlight utility. Useful features including health and sleep scores, stocks, weather, sunrise/sunset. The list goes on and on. Very good golf app. Configure night mode so that alerts and bright dial stay dim and silent. AMOLED display is great but in direct sunlight shading the dial may be required.

GPS tracking is accurate and now has a feature that lets the watch automatically pick the best satellite GPS system to use. No texting or talking available. This seems reasonable until you're getting calls or texts on a ski lift, etc and you think-"wow it sure would be nice to have an Apple Watch at this moment." Very helpful for way-finding but careful the bezel can and will scratch.
