Garmin - epix (Gen 2) GPS Smartwatch 47mm Fiber-reinforced polymer - Steel

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

Great watch for some who is highly active! I love the constant heart rate monitor and also the sleep score and data. GPS is super accurate and battery life is amazing!

Garmin's epix (Gen 2) GPS Smartwatch in 47mm is a powerhouse for outdoor enthusiasts. Boasting advanced GPS technology, it offers precise navigation and tracking features. Its durable design withstands rugged environments, while the 1.3-inch display provides clear visibility in any condition. With extensive activity tracking, health monitoring, and smart notifications, it's a versatile companion for adventures. However, its premium features come at a higher price point. Overall, the Garmin epix (Gen 2) excels as a reliable and feature-rich GPS smartwatch for outdoor activities.

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.

Love this watch. I upgraded from my Garmin Fenix 3HR that finally couldn't hold a charge all day. I bit the bullet and bought this one instead of the new Fenix 7 sapphire. Does everything I want and I love that I dont have to charge but once every 6 days. I got 4 more days of battery life.

This is the best watch I’ve ever owned battery stay charged over an week, very durable excellent quality.

Highly recommend this watch. Removing some features the watxh can lasts up to a month w/o charge. Picked ths watch becuase of the bright screen.

Amazing watch! Been using it for about 4 months now. Good battery life, rugged, and perfect for anything from training for a 5K to a triathlon!
