Epix 2 Stuck on logo

The watch has been good overall just one major issue. This past month the watch was stuck twice on the garmin logo startup for whatever reason and nothing I did would take it out of it and I had to wait a day for it to just fix itself. Not sure what is happening but if it continue to do it I can't do nothing about it. I've watched videos on similar experiences but nothing helped. Had it over a year now and I'm hoping it doesn't continue to happen. As long as it doesn't the watch is perfect

Great watch!

Been wearing this for over a year now and it still doesn't even have a scratch on the glass. Coming from an Apple Watch so it took some getting used used too but now it's pretty easy to to navigate. Had to change out the band for something a little more breathable. Seems to track biking and running well along with sleep. The workouts on it don't seem to count the lifting reps very well so so I find myself constantly having to adjust those. Battery life is great. Does seem to wear down much faster when doing workouts that use the gps and tracking. Overall though, very happy.

Should improve

I've had several Garmin devices for tracking my performance, I've ran several marathon with Garmin watches: 235, Fenix 5 and this Epix: while I've been using my watch for the last two years, I think the Fenix 5 has a much better and stable performance (I still use it from time to time) my Fenix looks nicer (although being older) and in general the applications updates of my epix have made it slower and sometimes it freezes in the middle of a run or a ride. It feels like if I needed a better responsive watch I've should skip the epix and go directly to the Fenix 8. I will definitely be considering buying a more expensive but reliable watch than the next iteration of epix

Awesome watch.

I bought this over a year ago. My family and I decided to take up hiking, the topo maps have been very useful. This thing has taken everything I've thrown at it; hiking, mountain biking, swimming, shooting sports, motorcycles, kettlebells, not to mention I work in a machine shop, it's a tank. Battery life has dropped a little but not enough to make that big of a deal. If you're on the fence or if you're an AWU user who's thinking about it, jump on it. I'm considering upgrading to the Tactics line at some point in the future, not because I need to replace this one, but because I like playing with new toys.

More features than I can use

I've owned this watch for more than 3 years. I use its features for golfing, gym, walking and sleep metrics. I love it's battery life and clear, readable watch face.

Advanced Features!!!

Very happy with my purchase and quite an upgrade from my vivoactive 4 from a few years ago...features that I'm still figuring out and sleep monitoring has been a great addition since I suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome.

Great watch

I bought this watch several years ago and use it for tracking horseback rides as well as walking statistics. The maps are useful when we're out of cell service and I depend on it.

Epix gen 2

My third watch from Garmin. Easily my favorite. I loved my previous instincts (gen 1&2). But this is an upgrade with a better screen and similar abilities. The battery life isn't the same and not as rugged, but two weeks is plenty if battery for me.

This is my first Garmin and I absolutely love it! I use it mostly for tracking runs, but other activities like hiking here and there. Super easy to use, love the customization options.

So glad I Upgraded!

After having, and loving, my Instinct 2 solar for over 2 years, I wanted the features the Epix had and I am so happy. I love it! On my birthday I got a wonderful Happy Birthday message. LOVE!
