A: I was also confused by the way this is described on Best Buy's website... but this is the Sapphire edition watch. I purchased this from the Best Buy website and picked up at the local store. The box should clearly state that on the outside, and the underside of the watch also does as well. This will have the 32Gb memory and the preloaded maps.

Pro Tip, fully charge it before wearing the first time. The heart rate sensor was not working at all even though battery was at 75%, tried everything then finally charged fully and it works great. Upgraded from Fenix 6 pro solar. This watch definitely looks big on any wrist. But it definitely has that sports look and ruggedness. The AMOLED touchscreen is worth upgrading for me since I use maps a lot while hiking. The tracking is the same as Fenix 6 except maybe a little better with newer sensors. I will also add, for how big it is, it is very light

Recommend Epix 2 : Fitness enthusiasts, Health problems, and Regular Joe/Jane. Battery life last me roughly a full week. With nightly sleep monitoring turned on and anywhere from 3-5 workout routines monitored eg: lifting, swimming, and 1+hour walks. I use the various health tracking features to assist in monitoring health improvements or decreases. I am a U.S. Marine Corps Combat Veteran with over a decade of experience and a load of injuries. I use the information to help my doctors track various health measurements and activity progression. Basic watch has proven itself plenty durable. I chose to add an additional screen protector just encase because I live life and don’t have time to baby tools. You’ll notice the band is not the rubber/plastic but a stretch nylon material. I use this band for more aggressive activities and the original band when going out. I’ve tried quite a few other health trackers leading up to this one. What brought me back: free features, battery life, features, screen, and compatibility with other third party apps I use in conjunction with Garmin. Drawback’s(2): 1. The weightlifting app needs more development for those of us who do complex circuits containing multiple exercises-breaks-warmup before training set. It’s good enough and will continue to work on improving my understanding of building my own. 2. Isn’t so much a drawback as I hope it’ll be added to the next iteration that’s a solar band. Again I like to adventure whenever I get a inkling and thus a solar feature could help should my none planning occur at a time when the batteries low and I’m not anywhere near a charger. Overall another great Garmin product. Thank you

This is by far 100% better than my Fenix5S. I am sorry to say, because I thought that watch was first class. The battery life, 16 days if you raise to view vs 6 days of always on, and screen brightness is bar none!! The main reason I purchased was because the fenix did not have the battery life I needed to complete some of the long hikes with GPS. This is the only reason I was looking to upgrade, and weighed heavily between the new Fenix and this watch. I can say now owning for a few months, I am truly not disappointed. The extra money is worth it. Hold out if you can and enjoy. Oh, and BTW, I had a 5S, and graduated to the regular size, not the small and it does not seem too large for my wrist. I am a larger boned person, but it feels like a good size- not too large.
