Garminepix Gen 2, Premium active smartwatch, touchscreen AMOLED display, Adventure Watch with Advanced Features, Slate Steel

I have a 6.2” wrist so was a bit worried about this size of this - no problems at all comfort or fit wise - I love it!! It’s not a subtle size - but I got a few brightly colored bands to change out and make it a statement watch. I’ve worn it running, biking, to professional work presentations, no problems. The battery life is amazing - I don’t even have to bring the charger vacations. Got used to sleeping with it in just a couple days despite not ever wearing a watch to bed previously, and love the metrics: the sleep score - the recommended workouts and body battery. So many awesome features and the screen clarity is amazing. I got this upgrading from my beloved 645-and have been wearing Garmin’s since I think 2006. Their tech keeps improving and data privacy is solid!

Great watch, versatile and smart looking. It is large at 47mm but the display is so crisp and clear, and there is so much information available, I am glad to have the medium sized Epix. Will post more later, if relevant.

I have every Apple Watch and most Garmin watches but this is the best watch I have ever owned. Apple Watches are nice but hard to read and they only last a day and half per charge (the Ultra). Most Garmin watches are had to use and hard to see. I have bought the Fenix 5, 6 solar titanium, Foreruinner and others. None of them compare to the Epic Gen 2. The Amoled screen is the best on the market. Easy to see even in bright sunlight. Touch screen works better than any watch I have owned. It is very easy to use (most Garmin are hard to use and see). It doesn’t have fall protection or phone calling like the Apple but I never used those anyway. And did I mention that it goes 15 days on a singe charge. LET ME REPEAT THAT 15 DAYS ON A SINGLE CHARGE. This is the watch Apple should have made. Every watch should have an Amoled Sceen PERIOD!!!!!! This is the only watch I will need for a long time. Highly Recommend! PS gave my Apple Ultra to my brother.

This watch is superb quality. As it should be for the price tag. I haven't gone out and tested the GPS system yet but I have had other Garmin watches and this one is the best by far. The clarity on the screen is great. Response to you looking at it is almost instantaneous. Great watch. Very high price point but you get what you pay for.

This is proper piece of technology. Well designed. Does what its meant to do.The battery life is slightly shorter than what the Fenix 7 would offer. However, that is only due to the much better screen type. It still will outlast an Apple watch 16 times over. So its not really an issue.This is not fashion watch, it is big and robust.I would recommend a 39 mm screen protector for the standard Epix gen 2. Also, the cover/case like one would use on a smartphone is a must, it preserve the condition. The Fenix 7 cover will fit.

Have been using Garmin devicdes for 10+ years. Most recently Fenix 5 and then 6x. Big problem/issue I had with the Fenix watches was the display and ability to read with my not so good near vision. DC Rainmaker had a great in-depth review on the difference between the new Fenix 7 and the Epix. I took a chance and did what some might think is downgrade choosing to buy the Epix instead of the new Fenix 7. After a week of use, I could not be happier. Everything about it is better than the Fenix 6x, IMO. Truly amazing how improved the display is. It's bright and clear with no glare. I have had no issues reading it in all light conditions with no glasses required. Another HUGE plus is the HR monitor so far seems to be very accurate. On the Fenix and an earlier Forerunner watch with ability to track HR via wrist, I had many many times where it showed unrealistic and inaccurate HR level. Happy to say Garmin has figured it out with the new Epix (and likely the new Fenix 7 too). I hate wearing HR chest strap. Now can finally do serious training with watch only. Last thing I'll mention is using the device and navigating between screens much faster and the touch screen works great too. All in all, Epix has far exceeded my expectations and I'm happy camper (runner actually).

After only 13 months (conincidence?), my watch started going to music controls on it's own. The back button also became unresponsive, working about 5 seconds after pressing it. I turned the watch off and on, charged it fully, plugged it into my PC and did an update using Garmin Express. No joy. So, then I tried a hard reset by holding in the light button. When it restarted, the "Reset default settings?" screen comes up. If I select No, nothing happens, if I select Yes, the watch reboots and this screen opens up again. I tried doing a hard reset by turning the watch off, holding in the Start/Stop and Back buttons, releasing the Start button after the first beep and the Back button after the second beep, but nothing changed. I went through a number of Q&As on Garmin's support site and read several forum topics, but nothing worked. I eventually contacted Garmin Support. It took over a month to get a response, which was simply:"Good day.Thank you for contacting Product Support.First, please accept our apologies for not answering your email in the time we quoted on our website. Due to an unforeseeable high volume of emails and calls we’ve received this has led to a backlog, which we’ve been working hard to restore to our usual service levels.I just wanted to confirm if this has been resolved?"How could it have been resolved if no one even attempted to assist?I replied, saying it hadn't been resolved. That was almost 2 weeks agao, and once again, radio silence.The watch also seems to be, at times, wildly innacurate with heart rate and sleep tracking.For the price of this watch, I would recommend considering different options, of which there are quite a few these days.*Update*: Another week has passed without a word from Garmin. The fact that it took a month to get even a response email because of "unforseeable high volume of calls" leads me to believe I am one of many, many users having issues with their Garmin device/s.
