Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have worn this watch for almost 6 months straight and it has been amazing the entire time. The battery lasts around 10 days, depending on how much I use the map feature. It measure my HR, HRV, sleep, calorie consumption, and workouts great. I love how it can connect with Strava, Runna, and Lose it! to dial in my training and diet. Worth every penny and still not a scratch on the face(I work in a hazardous environment)

Size is perfect. Watch is fantastic for swim, golf, running and sleep... Amongst other things. Easy to change out bands to make it your own.

Great watch with incredible features. I chose the 47mm and think that was the best size for my needs. I purchased at a great price from Best Buy.

Beat decision to go with bestbuy! They price matched (twice!) and delivered a brand new, amazing Garmin that i had been meaning to own for sometime! I’d definitely recommend folks to but from bestbuy, they’re super efficient and prompt! The watch itself- I had been contemplating between Epix Pro Gen 2 and Fenix 8, but because BestBuy offers price match, it was a no brainer to go with this. Yes, they’ll probably prioritize Forerunners and Latest Fenixs for software UI updates, but then, this watch has Best build quality and a proven stamped UI, and they’re not left behind for patches/updates, other than UI! Battery lasts at least a week, with regular run/cycle/yoga/walk and wake to display. Awesomely protective GPS and sleep tracking! Best watch purchase ever! I own a apple Series 9 but this is what I’m wearing day in day out!

Was torn between the epix pro 2 and fenix 7 solar sapphire. Coming from an Apple Watch I decided the Epix would be a good transition. I absolutely love it. If I was going to do longer events like an ultramarathon or multi day hiking I’d have chosen the fenix 7 for the longer battery. For my every day uses I have my setting so I’m still getting to enjoy a much longer battery life than my apple, better tracking and information so I am happy. The other big decision was size and I went with the 47mm but I have female friends with the 42 and the 51 and honestly it wasn’t that big of a difference when we lined our arms up. This is a good size for me Again to get more battery but also be comfortable wearing it all the time including sleep. It’s more comfortable than the apple was too so winning all around. I don’t miss not having the cellular which reminds me I can cancel that plan :) I was concerned about mapping but none of these would really be your sole source for mapping if you were doing something serious. It can be a quick check where you are on the trail but if I needed actual navigation I’d probably use paper map/compass, downloaded maps on avenza, or a handheld device.

This product came super quick. No damage to package. The lady at my local Best Buy that helped me order it was super helpful and got me in and out. I really like all the features this watch has. It has not left my wrist which is amazing because the battery Not died yet compared to my Apple Watch that I would have to charge daily…. I highly recommend Best Buy for this purchase.

Best watch ever. Battery life is amazing and also the flashlight is super handy.

I made the switch to Garmin from Apple after my Series 5 AW couldn’t hold a charge for a 14 mile hike and I have never looked back. The data this watch gives me along with the hiking specific features blows AW out of the water (and I had used AW for 7 years). I also like tracking my walks and strength workouts with my Garmin and love that it is less smartwatch and more fitness watch. On top of recording 1-2 workouts almost every day I still only have to charge it about once a week!!

This watch has Amoled display, ECG and high detail golf maps. You can scroll through screens with your finger or up/down buttons to see distances to front and back of hazards, greens etc. More golf features than my old S60 golf watch. Easy to glance at accurate outside temp, steps, etc. I have all the GPS and other battery eating features turned on and get 6 days per charge. ECG was easy, no straps, the watch does it all, then it can be downloaded if you need to share it. 47mm, my wrist is probably smaller than avg. No problem viewing in bright light. The screen is a little brighter than it appears in the photos.

I upgraded from a garmin 935 and found the new features and accuracy to be a huge improvement. I also own a Samsung galaxy 5 pro. I wanted something very durable (sapphire and titanium), new metrics, reliable metrics, better battery, amoled display, etc. A big selling feature for me on this watch was also the new heart rate sensor. On all prior watches ive owned the optical sensor has been unreliable having random heart rate spikes during mild to no activity. I had to result to a heart rate monitor strap on even easy runs to avoid wrong zones being recorded (zone 1 vs random z4 or 5 errors). After almost a month of daily use from running to cycling to gym work- i can say this sensor is very accurate with only a couple of brief misreadings or spikes during gym work. It is able to handle more variation in watch movement due to the new design. I also enjoy the convenient flashlight. The improved readings also provide a better picture of your sleep and training progress. I also appreciate the new hill metrics and heat acclimation factor. Overall, while expensive i am very happy with this purchase and look forward testing it during the fall race season.

I got this as a “drop” and it is fantastic! I have loved garmin watches for some time and just needed an upgrade. This watch did not disappoint! 10 out of 10 would recommend tbis watch!

Did a lot of research before choosing this watch and it’s a fantastic device. Does everything. Hard to believe there could be a better sports/fitness/outdoors watch. Love how personalizable it is as well. The 47mm size is perfect- the 51 is just enormous.

I loeve this watch. I purchased tbis watch after getting years worth of usage out of my Garmin Instinct. These Garmin watches are an essential for me now. I lost 100 pounds with the help of my Garmin Instinct and now I continue my daily routine of constant exercise/training religiously. This watch is durable, high-tech, comfy, etc. The biggest difference I noticed besides the tech in comparison to my Instinct was the watch band.both bands look almost identical, yet the Epix is i kid you not like 4x as comfortable. Its an amazing watch for anyone who is an athlete, active duty, etc.

This is a great product overall. My biggest challenge is learning the garmin system vs the apple environment. I'm getting 10 days of usage on my watch. The functions and metrics blow my A watch away. Definitely recommend this device for outdoor/workout enthusiasts.

I am very happy with the watch. I took it with me in vacation on different environments and did a great job. The altimeter help me out a lot along with the barometer in tough situations so i give the watch a really good rating so far. I am still learning how to use because is my first Garmin product.

Excelent smartwatch! I’m so happy for this purchase! Garmin nr 1 ! Thanks

Very nice and I love it.highly recommended of this

This is the best fitness tracking watch on the market! Blows Apple Watch out of the water for keeping track of running metrics.

Perfect for any occasion, for elegant outings for a walk or for sports, as well as for daily work.

The Garmin Epix Pro is one of my most favorite purchases from Best Buy for the features and longer battery life as compared to my apple watch with all its multitude of apps I never used. My Garmin watch has enough features to encourage me to be (outdoors) active and track my progress. This one looks like a watch and not a matchbox with straps! Touch screen is very responsive though at times it is hard to navigate items in the corners. Lots of reasonably priced accessories for this watch on Amazon. The LED flash light is a pretty neat thing to include and offsets the bulky build, stands almost a centimeter above the wrist. This is a bit of a problem till you get used to it and frequently hit all kinds of surfaces in the first few weeks!! Thereby scratching the DLC black surface and leaving scuffs on a beautiful new watch. They should stop setting this expectation that it is “diamond like carbon” (DLC). Highly recommend a TPU cover and screen protector glass for the first few months till you get used to the watch. Of course I remove the cover at times when I want. Thanks to Garmin I actually have a smartwatch which does what it is supposed to do. One last thing, the bright AMOLED display is awesome, though I would definitely like to see more (customizable) color palette in a future software upgrade.
