Love my Epix Gen 2. Performance and battery life are great. With that said, and comparing to the Apple Watch Ultra, the Epix feels cheap. the bezel scratches way to easily as well. This wouldnt be the end of the world but its also 100 more expensive. Also, this watch needs wireless charging.

I have owned Fenix watches for years and upgraded from each model (3x,4x,5x,6x). I love the Fenix. It is durable, has tremendous battery life, and as of the 6X mostly every sort of tracking that most people would need. I have been to Patagonia, Africa, driven across the US, working out in the gym. The Fenix was a reliable instrument. The only think I wish it had was a better display. That is where the Epix comes in, it is slightly smaller & lighter than the 7X and has a OLED display that is very visible in bright sunlight. The Epix has all of the capability, minus the solar. I keep it in gesture mode and recently tested wearing it for 13 days before needing to recharge at 20%. During that time I tracked a couple of short hikes, went skin diving, tested the sleep monitoring, moderate usage for sure, but it looks like it would last the entire 16 days as advertised between charging. In short, as a Fenix user who does not do ultra marathons, and carries a solar charger when taking long treks of several weeks in the wilderness. The Epix has become my go to watch.

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.

I bought this to take advantage of the new brighter screen and have been pleased with the purchase. I wish that Garmin and Apple played better together (i.e., take calls on the Garmin, respond to texts, etc.) but I'm not sure that Apple will allow that.

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 love garmin products and the Epix is now my favorite. The colorful display is so nice and the watch offers so much data. It's a great tool for any tool bag. I am very impressed with the battery life evergreen with the display. I would highly recommend the Epix.

Watch is great, picked over the fenix7 for the amoled screen, completely worth it, more features then I'll ever use but everything I needed, a little over priced for what I'll use it for but happy I got it, got to try it hiking and mountain biking, did great tracking and was so easy to read even in full sunlight, very impressed, anyone looking for a full tracking watch will be more then happy.

Love the bright display, had a watch with the cheaper display, this one really pops no matter the ambient light. Coming from a competitor fitness product, the Garmin universe is very robust. The training plans, tracking and input are much more in-depth, rather than just getting data, you get some feedback. Battery life is good, not as good as my previous watch, but that's the price for the AMOLED display. Looks nice, band is comfortable, and has worked great!

Great sportswatch, even a couple years after it's released, everything you need. GPS can throw weird signals occasionally on the non-sapphire version, but its acceptable for the most part. On-watch maps are great, especially when navigating new places, as well as when you get lost (as ive done). Only a month with it, but already a couple buttons seem to be not as 'clicky' as what they used to be. I read this issue existed, and will see if it gets worse. Everything seems to function okay, just not as sure about some of the presses i make. Battery life is great, but can i experienced a bit of accelerated drain from listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks on my watch when on a run. Should still easily last a marathon, but don't expect the 1-2 weeks advertised if that's the use case

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.
