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 using this watch for 3 months and it never disappointed me. Recently did a hike and mid way we could not find the trail to the Garmin maps helped me to complete the hike. Also appreciate its battery life. This product would fit great for both beginners as well as experts becasue it has day to day app features and vast variety of sports applications. Just watch out, if you want to have access to your phone from the watch, its limited.

Have had this awesome piece of technology for about a month and I'll say I couldn't be more pleased with it. Garmin clearly sees the need to deliver an improved screen and UI experience while still remaining faithful to their core user base belief tenets of battery life, rugged design etc. The EPIX is a perfect compromise that delivers on BOTH sides of the ledger. I have been using Garmin devices for years (last one being the Fenix 6 Pro Solar) so I know what's behind the design ethos of this product. It's great. Very pleased.

this is a great buy! I replaced my Fenix3 with the Epix. Still getting used to the touchscreen but that feature is disabled during workouts therefore there is no issue during GPS use. Easy to scroll and navigate and quickly add features or widgets. Super fast connection to satellites! it's all about the screen with this watch! (I don't need readers!)

Overall, it looks very cool and works well. I get 7 days not 11 days on a charge but that's plenty. I find the interface with Garmin Connect to be variable. Often, I need to refresh several times to get weather to transfer. Accuracy is decent but not excellent. For example, I need to recalibrate altitude frequently and still get different data for the same spot. I stopped trying to use the elliptical and strength apps so if fitness tracing is your need look elsewhere. On strength it was terrible at tracking reps. I'm not sure how it is supposed to detect reps but it simply doesn't.

I have been wearing a Forerunner 945 for over three years and was very happy with it. The only thing that I was not happy with was the display. So I was looking for a watch with similar features but a better display. The epix (Gen 2) got my exactly that. I am very happy with the great display and on top a much better battery life. I could not be more happy this watch! Great product.

I am happy that garmin is evolving with the displays on their wearables. Besides the price it's the best money I ever spent on a garmin product. Hopefully the prices on the Marq Gen 2 will be lowered for those of us on a budget. I am a garmin customer forever making this my 4th watch. I will just like to see the price range a little more affordable.

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 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)

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.
