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.

I've only had it 2 weeks now, but I don't think I could go back to my galaxy 5 pro. I really like Garmin's app and the way they give you your stats and real time metrics. I'm still playing around with everything this watch can do, but after having both Apple and Samsung watches there is something about Garmin that hits differently. Oh, and the battery life is fantastic!

This is exactly what I was looking for in a smart watch. I wanted a smart watch that didn't look like a smart watch. The easy mechanism for changing bands is a plus. I went 18 days in between charges, this changes depending on how much you use the features obviously. I could go on and on but A+ all around.

Great fitness and sport oriented features with the watch and Garmin Connect app. Amazing battery life, especially compared to Apple Watch and I don't miss any of the "smart" features. Only criticism is that the watch band has to be uncomfortably right for an accurate HR measurement. This is especially noticeable during MTB rides, where there's lots of shaking on my hands and wrists. Might try some other bands to see if it would help.

I have had zero issues with the watch. It tracks my swim workouts accurately and breaks down my outdoor runs and activities. I recently used it for a triathlon and won't do anything outdoors without it. This item is more for Intermediate/expert use based on all the functions the watch has. Will suit common watch wearers as it has a sense of style, but is rugged enough for extreme sport users.

It's hard to describe how good this watch is, and I have owned several different brands. The battery is unbelievable for a sports watch, the screen is beautiful and responsive. Maps are great, navigation is simple and it has more information than most will ever use. I was hesitant due to cost but now have no regrets or concerns at all.

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.

Switched to the Epix after multiple generation of fenix. Absolutely love the display. All the functionality I could need and love the continued software upgrades. Great watch. May consider solar next time if available to help increase battery life beyond 1 week.

I chose this over the Apple Watch Ultra because I needed a device that can talk to all my other devices. This does so seamlessly, and every day I am discovering cool features. The display is amazing and the battery is incredible. I've worn it 24h/day for two weeks and it still has a day or so of charge. 5 stars, worth every penny.
