I usually upgrade Fenix watches on the odd cycles (3,5,7). I bought the Epix over the Fenix 7 because reviewers were impressed with the display (and otherwise the functions are the same, except battery life.) I like the new training features and sensors over the Fenix 5, but there's nothing major, and the 5 is still a great outdoor fitness/adventure watch. I think Garmin really missed the boat on the Amoled screen. Instead of making a really clear and stunning visual (like Apple), they seemed to just make the metrics smaller and screens more complicated, adding extra icons and stuff that add no additional value. Maps are clearly better--but I still use my phone for a map--much bigger and better interface. Garmin needs a UI overhaul and a completely different approach to UX, or this will be the last Garmin device I buy.

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've had my epix2 for just about one month. I chose it for the screen, the mtn biking capabilities, and pool swimming coupled with general health stuff. Overall I like it and am impressed with the caloric expenditure info. I haven't been able to test the biking features yet, but look forward to in spring. I lift a lot and do like the weight lifting capabilities, hoping it's accurate on caloric expenditure. Major downfall I see so far: 1: the lap swimming needs some software tweaks. It will often short my swims by 25 yards/100 yards swum. In other words, I swim 4 laps and it shows 75 yards. Really?! And no way to manually correct it. Also, this thing has GPS, so why can't it record my drills, like kicking laps?? If it won't record that distance then at least make a software update so I can specifically enter what my drill is, how far, then estimate my calories and all from that and heart rate. I'm wondering if Samsung or Polar are better at these. 2: I'll fully charge it and it will say 14 days life. I have the watch face set to gesture, so not always on. As soon I get to the gym it starts dropping fast. After my last charge I was at 9 days after working a bunch (5 days). Then I workout my day off, lift and swim. 2-2.5 hours. And it's down to 4 days. I plan to keep closer track of this..

Love the visibility of the screen in all light conditions. The touch screen is great too. Also tracks Pulse Ox. Tracks Mtb and hiking tracks accurately and great for monitoring workouts. Also has a sweet flashlight mode for when you forget your headlamp. Good for beginners or experts. Only thing I don't really like is the charging cable, but on energy save mode it lasts up to 14 days as a watch (less if tracking) Oh and the map is good too. Has a lot of trail on it already to follow at a glance.

I really love this watch, battery last long and the apps make the watch amazing.

i love this epix Excelent gamin to Triathlon and run or swim!!

watch never leaves my arm day and night, work and all races. Indoor, outdoor and underwater activities record flawlessly. Only one point lost for finish on the face of the watch which has worns slightly with the abuse

Had the Epix for a month after retiring my Forerunner 835 after 5 years. So many new features that I was shocked. I already cancelled my Whoop subscription as this watch does it all.

Love this watch for running and fitness tracking. The only thing this watch could improve on is its smartphone functions, but is phenomenal other than that

This watch was a little daunting at first because there is so much to learn but given time, patience and some YouTube videos I am getting more and more out of my watch every day. I'm very happy with my purchase.
