Nice features….but

I had looked at this watch multiple times but never noticed the white plastic all the way around the watch. I did not like it because it makes an expensive watch look cheap. I have returned it.

Battery, Battery, Battery for Days!

Battery, Battery, Battery life! A week with regular GPS tracking is the big highlight. All the tracking metrics are great as well. The quality look and feel are what initially drew me to it.

Like it but

Like it a lot but seems like it loses connection to phone more time than I'd like. It's that blasted Garmin connect app that is wonky. Frankly, just figuring out how to get the connect iq store to interface with it is too many steps. But I'm glad I bought it. Just wonky connection stuff.

It does it all!

I bought this a month ago luckily on sale and it does all the activity and health features I wanted and MORE. I use it daily for walks and cycling, and I used it for displaying the tides of an ocean area where I fish. The morning feature is nice, because it gives you a health rundown of your readiness to workout according to your sleep, recovery, and more. It's very durable and waterproof, too. It is large and a bit heavy, but I'm a tall, large person, so it fits. The Garmin app gives more information and makes it easier to read. The amoled display is colorful and bright to make it very easy to read. I haven't used the navigation feature yet, but I love electronics that have more than I need in case I need it in the future.

Cool features but has issues

Watch is rad, but have had multiple occasions where after an activity saves, it restarts automatically and won't shutoff activity and then have to restart watch. Charging time is fast which is good cause gps tracking kills battery fairly quick in comparison to my fenix 6 I had

Indispensable

I love this watch. I have several extremely expensive watches - Hublot/Rolex - I have not worn them since I purchased my Epix. It does everything such that I never take it off. The morning reports are pretty good indicators of my energy level - HRV being the best. The heart rate monitor is also pretty good. I have uploaded a bunch of music so I no longer have to run with my iPhone. Worth every penny and then some.

A good upgrade from a Fenix 6S

My daily watch was previously a Fenix 6s. The Epix user interface relies on the same buttons, so is very familiar, but also has a touch screen (that can be toggled on and off). The watch is much more responsive and this is especially noticeable when manipulating a map view (the touch screen also makes map navigation much easier). The screen resolution is great, and map features are very easy to read (much more so than on my 6s). Readability is great even in bright sunlight, when the illumination is maximum. Unfortunately, the screen always dims after a short, configurable, time out, and requires a button press to re-illuminate. This isn't too much of a problem if you have a free hand, but I find it problematic when kayaking. The trans-reflective screen on the Fenix watches, though lower resolution, really 'shine' in daylight, so may be preferable for two-handed sports.

Disappointed

I couldn't wait to change from my Apple Watch to the Garmin Epix . Unfortunately I was disappointed. I could not use my music apps. I also couldn't believe that as soon as I walked outside to my patio, the watch immediately disconnected from my phone within about 20 feet. Sadly the watch was returned. Also no charger came in the box.

A companion for the good times and the bad.

I originally got this watch for emergency navigation, I recently moved and the area is quite new to me, if for some reason my phone GPS stopped working id have a fantastic backup. but what I did not expect is how much id be encouraged to start running more, before I ran occesinally, maybe one a week on average but now that i can track everything I run atleast every other day! Love this product. also I work in a warehouse and have smashed it pretty hard on metal racking and other things, and there is no damage at all. great Watch would reccemend
