I've had the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire refurbished for about 2 weeks now, and it hasn't left my wrist. The sad thing is that a lot of the new software available for many other models, including the Epix Pro, is unavailable for the Gen2 Sapphire. Being a thousand-dollar watch only 3 years ago is somewhat sketchy on Garmin's part. I paid only 400 for this refurbished model, but if I had purchased this new 3 years ago, I would be much more irritated. All and all seems to be worth the 400 I spent, but if I had to do it again, I would have looked for a good deal on the Epix pro.

I did buy a epix 2 week ago, I am planning to use it for golf and MTB sports,, so far my wearing the watch on my left hand does not help with my golf swing and tempo., extra mass on my left hand in giving me undesirable results Next time I will tray to wear the watch on my right arm and see if there is any difference.,

Snagged the Garmin Epix for a steal, and I'm loving it. Looks awesome, feels solid, and keeps up with all my home workouts — from push-ups to chasing the kids mid-set. Tracks everything, battery lasts forever, and it makes me feel like a pro even when I'm just lifting in the garage. Dad-approved and worth every penny.

I bought this model when it was first released, wore it daily, and competed in several races per year. Recently I started having a bit of trouble with one of the buttons and Garrmin simply offered a refurbished replacement which I agreed to. The Epix2 is still an incredible device when compared to many of the newer versions. For the money, and features I need, it'd be hard to justify a different model.

This is overall a great watch, but it's missing a few features that I feel like it should have at this price point. The main two are having a real flashlight, and having the microphone functionality. It appears to have the microphone, it just doesn't do anything. Otherwise it's a fantastic watch. The battery life is the best I've ever had to where I tend to only need to charge it about once a week if I'm doing a handful of activities. The GPS tracking has been really consistent, and many of the health metrics have been really good. I also wear an Oura ring, which is very accurate on things like sleep, duration, quality, and HRV. I do find that the Garman slightly overestimates your sleep, compared to the ring, but the HRV is dead on, which is a very helpful metric. Like all fitness tracker watches, I don't rely on the wrist based heart monitor, and instead use an external strap, which pairs nicely.

I was not in the market for a new watch but I found this one on sale. I am using mine for back country adventures, the gym and daily health care. So far I have had it for about a month and feel like it's an upgrade to my fenix 5. The first thing is battery life is better. I love the weight of this watch and the look is spot on with class and elegance. I can go to the gym and out for dinner and not feel the need to change it.

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.

When I bought this it was on sale. I felt like I wanted to upgrade my fenix 5 but I didn't really know why. The features mainly the battery life far out performs the 5 as well as the button responses. I really like the weight of this watch as it feels solid. The default watch is something I really enjoy. At first I didn't really know how I would like it but over time I can say the orange is a must have for me. Still working through the button flows and they seem laid out better than the 5. Your really can't go wrong with it. I wish you didn't need the other add on monitors. The Apple Watch is more intuitive than this and doesn't require extra straps/monitors.

After having a couple of Apple Watches and enjoying their abilities. Hearing multiple recomendations for garmin watches for the health tracking ability and the uses for outdoor activity tracking:hiking, mountain biking etc. I decided to buy one when I found it on sale. After owning this watch for a few weeks now I don't see myself going back to any other watch anytime soon and garmin will very likely be my next watch too. Now that I've owned this watch for 1-1/2 years worn daily for work and everything I will say it's the most durable watch I've ever had. While it's scratched up and shows its use now it still works as good and reliable as the first day I put it on. I have just bought a second watch hopefully for a slightly better battery life while in the backcountry. (The fenix 7x pro).

Exchanging for another. Hopefully it works out. Won't stayed pair. Stuck in battery save
