Premium materials ensure a long-lasting partnership, and the style pairs fashionably with our luxury 'fits from the gym to the office.
On our active days, this watch monitors heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep, stress, hydration—the list goes on. It manages our training schedule, offering suggestions of when and how to work out next. And recommendations are just the beginning: the Epix is pre-loaded with on-screen animated workouts that we can follow along with.

Down button now working after 4 wks of gentle use
Very disappointed. Down button doesn’t respond. After just 4 weeks of use. Garmin does not cover the warranty. And I’m left with a half useless expensive watch.

Love the features, bluetooth still not great
I've had the Epix for about a month now (used to have a Fenix 5). Love the quick access to the weather, training matrix steps, heart rate sleep score, HRV status, music controls (which I really like) and a few other stats. Battery life is really good but I do not use it for navigation. I was hoping that the bluetooth technology would have gotten better since the Fenix 5 but it has not. The Epix disconnects from my phone when the watch is on my wrist and my phone is in my back pocket. RIDICULOUS! Overall, I do like the Epix and can't wait to use it more, like on a hike.

It does everything I want!
I purchased this watch to upgrade my Garmin Forerunner 955 solar as I wanted the maps for hiking and backpacking. I read and watched a lot of reviews before making my decision. I was worried about the battery life on the epix (Gen 2) but I didn’t need to worry. I don’t use always on display and I can, at times, easily get 10 days of battery life. This includes following a course and using gps as well as recording workouts almost daily. When I’m out on backpacking trips I might need to bring my charger but with the added benefit of maps I don’t mind. Really happy with my decision to get this watch.

Picked up every swing on the golf course, tracks work outs and looks sharp!

Great watch!
The Epic is my 3rd Garmin. I also have the Forunner 745. I love both watches. I use the 745 for races as it is a smaller/lighter watch. Love all the features the Epic has and that the battery last much longer.

Long battery life
This watch is rugged and surprisingly light for its size. I changed the band to a nylon hook and loop style and sleep with it on every night. I barely even notice it.

Super tough and all the data you would ever want
I have had this watch for more than a year now and have not been nice to it at all, yet it doesn’t have any scratches or knocks or anything. The battery life is incredible, I can do a triathlon and not charge it for an another week and will still have battery left. If you aren’t sure about this watch, stop thinking about it and go get it. It takes some serious abuse and has data on everything.

Good improvement over previous Fenix 6
Battery life WAY better. Adding color really helps visibility. Tracking heart rate, especially during activities is somewhat better but still requires a precise fit on the wrist and a tight wrap, tighter than comfortable, not quite a tournaquet but almost .. blood supply to my hand is definitely lowered. Still, beats wearing chest straps and all the problems there.

Awesome
The Epix 2 is a major step up and a terrific watch. Defiantly worth the investment and time to learn all that it can do.
