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.

I have had Garmin watches for years in both the fenix and epix ranges. My first watch was Fenix 6 which i purchased in 2020 and still use that watch as my "work" watch to this day. As a welder i am tough on things. the screen is pretty pitted but the watch works flawlessly. My epix i had purchased in 2023 and it was my main wearable in everyday life as well as running and working out and now surfing. i had an issue with the epix and contacted Garmin directly and the unit was well out of warranty but the immediately sent out a refurbished watch. i have and will continue to alway recommend Garmin wearables to anyone i know the dozens of people i have recommmeded them to and they have purchased do agree. The epix has all the features you could want from a wearable and than some.

Had for 2 years and love it! Favorite features: easy-to-read display, long battery life (at least 1 week under heavy use when display is set to the default), a list of key metrics when I wake, sleep score, phone notifications, and activity tracking that updates Strava. Negatives - none really other than perhaps that the charging cord can be a bit finicky and needs moving around, but the replacement doesn't require that, so just replace the cord if that happens to you.

A thru hiker can upgrade the navigational systems with this device. Connecting a triad of communication platforms. An emergency satellite beacon, (mini pro 2) , A phone and the device itself. Providing an addition map reference, more convenient to use. Reducing the chances of losing navigation along with your phone as you can secure the phone as wearing the device. Stay away from the higher devices designed for scuba diving and long range gunnery sites too much and unnecessary (not worth with the cost for the purpose a Sojourner requires.) Unless you hauling a 105 Howitzer thru the forest. (Other smart watches are made for that.) Sum up this review not only am I satisfied but impressed . My health and my workouts are being greatly aided.. (DOCTORS SOON THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR JOB). Ps. My nickname has nothing to do with Bambi.. GOD Bless.

I got an amazing deal on my epix watching for sales. All the features are great. Awesome battery life. The OLED screen looks amazing but have to do more than tip it to my face for it to engage. When sleeping and I need to see the time. It is great it glows but I have to touch it to my nose to turn on the screen ;). Otherwise excellent training watch. Favorite feature is the sapphire screen. Brilliant technology.

I have had to return this watch as the screen went wrong on it. The watch I now have constantly resets itself and one of the buttons has become atucky

I've only had this watch for a few weeks, so I haven't had a chance to really test it, but so far, I am very pleased with it. I plan to use this watch to record bicycle trips instead of my older Edge 820. The Epix has profiles for a number of different activities. My main interests are walking/hiking, kayaking, and cycling. My older Garmin Vivoactive 4 did not have a specific kayaking activity; I found this mildly annoying. Now I don't have this problem since the Epix has a specific kayaking activity.

I bought this to replace a Fenix 6X Pro mostly for the new display. I wasn't disappointed with the bright beautiful display, but I am surprised how much I use the built in flashlight. It has connected flawlessly to my iPhone and is able to take abuse when I'm working on cars and welding etc. Very happy with the product.

I've had the watch for a few years and I am OK happy with it. It does everything I thought it would do when I bought it except I thought it had all maps pre loaded. Instead it has only North america and you can load others as needed. The watch periodiaclly disconnects and needs to be re connected resulting in a long process and re registering.

I have since "upgraded" to the Fenix 8 and honestly miss this epix watch. The software on the epix is much quicker and the buttons are much more responsive. The only reason I upgraded was for the longer battery life, but the epix charged so quickly that wasn't as much of an issue as I thought. Fantastic watch.
