Garmin epix Gen 2 Premium Multisport GPS Smartwatch (47 mm), AMOLED Touch Screen, Advanced Health and Training Features, Adventure Watch with up to 16 days battery life, Slate Steel and Black

Have had a lot of Garmin watches over the years and always like the training metrics/tracking etc - had a few Fenix versions and most recently the Enduro, which had an incredible battery life for a 'smart' watch. The one thing I've never liked about the Garmin watches though is the screen resolution and clarity though. I know that was always to provide a decent battery life, but they always looked a bit basic and low tech compared to the other smart watches. I spotted this in the black friday deals and thought I'd give it a go. Overall really pleased. It's great to finally have a Garmin with a really quality, high resolution, high contrast screen. The watch faces really look detailed for a change and not the crude pixelated versions I previously just had to get used to. Touch screen is a nice option but I turn it off to be honest as happy to just use the buttons that I'm familiar with. Heart rate/O2 monitoring is the same as previous (very good) and all the usual functions of the range. Battery life is around 2 weeks depending on use. I don't have blood O2 on as it's not a meaningful measurement to me, but heart rate all the time and GPS during activities. If I'm not wearing it, it goes into a 'sleep' mode with the screen off and the battery will last quite a lot longer, so it's not bad if you only wear intermittently. For daily use though it'll do 2 weeks no problem, as mentioned, and with regular activities expect that to come down a bit - under daily use with regular GPS activities it'll probably go a week, which still isn't too bad for a watch with a nice screen like that. If you want a watch for full on endurance or high activity schedules, you'd probably be looking at the Fenix/Enduro range anyway though. Overall a really nice watch.

I've had two different samsung watches before I chose this garmin. The difference is astonishing, the samsung I'd be lucky to get 3 days of battery. The garmin...16 days! With all features turned on including altimeter, heart rate, weather that are giving constant readings. For me personally the garmin does way more than the samsung, and for what I use it for the difference is night and day. I use it for long hikes...again the samsung would give me approximately 8 hours on a full charge for gps and all other readings. The garmin gives about 40 odd hours! Absolutely brilliant watch. So pleased I took a chance. I have an epoxy sticker on the back as I have tattoos, and it works perfectly! Overall, I'm super impressed. Well worth it! Also a little detail I like is the strap has a notch when it's on so the end of the strap doesn't come loose! (Hard to explain in words)

I’ve had the watch for few days so far . I was a bit hesitant to buy it due to the high price tag initially. After a short consideration I decided to buy it . So far my experience has been great . No regrets! The watch is beautifully built and the size is well balanced against the wrist circumference. It feels substantial but not heavy on your hand . Functions took a while to work out but there are options to customise . There are tons of fitness activities . I’ve opted for the ones I use frequently. One thing I’ve not been able to establish is the automatic activity recording for example starting the activity after 5 min of running or 10 min of walking . Heart rate accuracy to me is great . I’ve no another heart rate monitors to compare it against . Battery life : Long , slow predictable discharge Screen: amazing, easy to see at night time or in day light . I’ll complete the review after a week or two of using the watch but I stayed at the beginning my first impressions of the Garmin epic 2 are superb.

Heavy use and after 8 days I still have 35% battery left. Gorgeous display. It was this or the Fenix but as this was reduced to 480 quid I figured I'd get it. Dies everything I need, looks cool, does a heap load of things I haven't figured out too. I'm using a lot in my recovery post hospital attendance. Heart rate, breathing rate, blood oxygen and so on. Very useful. When I get back into fitness I'll be using it even more. My one regret is there was a special deal with one very reputable retailer at 320 quid for this watch so I lost outvon 160 quid. I think it was a loss leader because everywhere else had the watch at 480 to 600. Oh well.

I've had this watch for a month now and although it's pricey I reckon it's excellent value. (Actually the price on Amazon seems to have gone up by £120 since I bought it.) It looks great, the screen is super-bright and sharp, readable even in full sun. The supplied faces are very varied and well designed. Most of them enable you to display many data items - heart rate (with a little 6-hour graph) step count, altitude, floors climbed, date, sunrise and set times, and many others. You can pick which of these you want to display, what colours to use for text etc etc. It also has all the usual timers, stopwatches etc. Although as I said I've been using this for a while I'm still in my infancy regarding my understanding of all its functions. There are multiple preset activities - walk, run, cardio etc, and at the end you get a comprehensive analysis of all aspects. Multi-source GPS is automatically applied for moving activities, and supports a mini onscreen map. The PDF manual is pretty comprehensive though rather heavy going; I've found just a web search with the model name and a question normally returns the relevant page of the manual quicker than you could find it in the PDF. The linked phone app works slickly and provides a wealth of data on all activities. I particularly like the "Body Battery", a continuous score out of 100 for your general readiness for exercise. I don't know how it calculates this, but I've found that the number is spookily correlated to how I feel generally doing the day. Sleep tracking is also reliable and comprehensive. I really only have a couple of gripes. I come from previously using a Fitbit and was surprised to find that, unlike their system, Garmin does not show the current battery level in the app. So when it's on a charger somewhere you have to go back to it to check if it's finished charging. Also, the supplied strap is not great. It fits OK, but it's sweaty to wear and brought my wrist out in red weals. I've already replaced it with a titanium strap. Finally, although a full European mapping is available for download, there's insufficient space on the watch for it. There's huge support for golf players with maps and details of courses, and it seems these take up a large part of available storage. Stupidly, these are not simply deletable (although there is a hack online involving opening the watch as a device on a PC and deleting the files). A more official workaround is to just download the western Europe section only. All in all, I'm delighted with my purchase. I may add to this review as I learn more.

.This is my second Garmin watch, upgraded from a fenix 6, A very worthy upgrade.The big plus for me is the touch screen and the ease of using the features available via touch screen. I use the watch for Fell Walking. Cycling, and Walking, Extremely impressed with the functions of the watch. I was so fortunate to get the watch at a greatly reduced price of £192, Returned my Amazon purchase because they could not price match. Would Highly recommend this watch especially against the price comparison of the Saphire edition. Mine is the 47mm 1.3 inch size. ①

I have had a Garmin Fenix 5 watch since 2018. I used for tracking walks and running and if I am honest also found the larger display useful when at work. It's been a great watch long battery life and apart from changing the strap no issues. However when I saw the Epix watch on sale in the recent Prime sale I decided to go for it. Four days in I am not disappointed. The watch feels a lot lighter than my old Fenix and fits much better on my wrist. The display is excellent and having the touchscreen functionality makes it really easy to use. In the last six months I have been a bit more fitness focussed and the additional monitoring options available with the Epix are really helpful. I also like the fact it looks good as a casual watch for everyday use. As always with Garmin battery life looks excellent. I have the always in display enabled and after 4 days and a couple of runs still have a minimum of 4 days before I have to think about recharging. If you can get the watch for the discounted price and your in the market for a premium fitness watch my advice would be go for it.

Having tried a few ‘Smart watches’ to replace my ‘boring’ Apple Watch I found none of them were that smart. Either alerts were unreliable , faces the watch was advertised with weren’t available , connectivity issues if you didn’t leave the app running all the time , clunky menus and awkward navigation just to name a few. Had my EPIX gen 2 now a week and I love it. Battery life brilliant - unlike Apple. Numerous gorgeous free faces and some amazing yet reasonably priced faces to purchase. Not played golf yet but that’s another great positive for this watch. Bought a chronograph face pack for less than a spirit in my pub and this watch looks stunning. My wife is so pleased I won’t be buying any more now for quite some time.

Muy bueno, funciona perfectamente. El tacto genial y dura bastante la batería.

Belle montre que j'ai eu sur amazon pour un prix exceptionnel (480€) jamais revu ensuite. Pas de synchro possible avec Google Fit, mais l'appli Garmin Connect est très complète. Très pratique pour la rando et le VTT, on peut transférer des GPX. Sur ce modèle acier, il y a moins de mémoire et on doit donc choisir quelles cartes installer. Et pour l'Europe, il y a 2 cartes: Est ou Ouest. J'ai installé l'Ouest, mais cela n'inclut ni la Suisse, ni l'Italie, qui font tous 2 partie de la carte Est :( Voyons Garmin, ça vous ferai vraiment mal d'inclure l'Italie et la Suisse dans les 2 régions, qu'on ait un peu d'overlapping ? Quand j'irai skier à Avoriaz ou Chamonix, je n'ai plus de carte si je bascule en Suisse ? La version Saphir/Titane (encore plus chère, et moins jolie) ayant plus de mémoire, toutes les cartes du monde sont préinstallées, elle ne présente donc pas ce problème.

Premium-Smartwatch für Sportskanonen, hervorragendes Display das man auch noch in grellster Sonne ablesen kann, dazu Touch-Screen der solide funktioniert und mit Handschuhen ist die Uhr bequem über die Knöpfe bedienbar. Die Uhr wirkt vom finish hochwertig und ist in der Praxis sehr robust und kratzfest. Trotzdem ist die Uhr sehr leicht. Für einige mögen die 61g (laut Hersteller) billig wirken, wer aber mal einen Edelstahl Maverick Chronograph mit Edelstahlarmband stundenlang am Handgelenk schlackern hatte (ca.161g) wird das geringe Gewicht bei seinen vielen Freizeitaktivitäten zu schätzen wissen. Das GPS ist sehr genau. Sehr gefallen hat mir die Karten und Navigationsfunktion für meine Radtouren. Die Uhr bietet extrem viele funktionen die ich hier gar nicht alle Aufzählen kann. Akkulaufzeit liegt bei ca. 6 Tagen und kann im Energiesparmodus auf bis zu 21 Tage hochgehen. der Preis ist heftig aber die Verarbeitung ist gut, die Technik ist gut, Garmin connect ist mit seinen vielen features kostenlos. garmin connect und die menüführung auf der uhr ist manchmal unübersichtlich. aber irgendwas ist ja immer. aber Kurz: für super aktive multisportler, tri-athleten, Sportkanonen, Outdoor-Helden ist die Uhr eine Überlegung wert. Alternativen wären evtl. die Fenix 5 oder 6 Wer nur einen Schrittzähler braucht sollte sich was anderes kaufen.

I am really grateful to have this kind of watch. I already have other smart watches but this one is more complete. Even though it doesn't have the option to answer call and I am not also using it in my other smart watch. This watch is really amazing.
