Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2), 42mm, High Performance Smartwatch, Advanced Training Technology, Built-in Flashlight, Whitestone

This is a great watch. I got it about 8 months ago to replace an Apple Watch that needed a daily charge and didn't last a round of golf in GPS mode. This does it all. It tracks my steps, cycling, sleep, golf, hiking ( maps are great) and health stats. It breaks down sleep into the different types of sleep, REM, light, deep and awake. It provides insight into sleep, workouts and recovery. The battery life is about a month. It looks good. I got the 51mm and at first I thought it was a little heavy and maybe too big. I got use to it and with my senior eyes, I now like it. I think most people might be happier with the 47 mm especially if you have smaller wrist. It connects to Strava and my phone with ease. I get messages and notifications of phone calls but you can't answer calls on this. The bottom line is if you are serious about your heath and workouts, this or other Garmin's are the watches to get. If you are looking for a watch for social connectivity, answering phone calls and don't mind daily charging, then the Apple Watch may be better suited for you.

I've had the watch for four weeks now, and I'm very happy with it. Coming from a Fenix ​​6, the battery life is much longer. I went from seven or eight days to eleven with an OLED screen. I still don't know how to make it last 30 days as advertised, but anyway, the main reason is the heart rate sensor is quite accurate. There are tons of workout apps to choose from. The screen size is a big improvement; I have the 51mm version with the 1.4-inch screen, and it's much easier to read. The colors are bright. There are two things I don't like: the band is too big, and the material isn't the most comfortable. It also leaves marks on the skin if you tighten it too much. Second, the pin for the band can't be removed, or at least I couldn't. I watched videos on how to do it, but they didn't work for me, so I bought some nylon loop bands that are easy to install with this type of pin. Later, I'll buy some with Garmin's Quick Fit system.

Great watch. No complaints after a year of use

Quality of this Garmin watch is up to snuff, yet some of the somewhat clunky UI navigation (according to some) remains. Really pretty minor once you get used to it. Truly an amazing piece of kit for the avid athlete or the more elderly amoung us trying to get back into reasonable physical fitness. The watch offers a planopy of features, which might seem a bit overwhelming to a fitness novice. The GPS feature and exceptional battery life were the reasons I chose the Epix Pro. It has lived upto the claims I had read. Not cheap but a truly fine tool for the right person. A professional piece if kit IMHO.

There is very little this watch cannot do. It's amazing. As a diabetic one thing I LOVE is that the data from my continuous glucose monitor displays on the actual watch face!! (Called Fallout for those interested) Battery life is off the chart. Up to a month, or at least a week or two normally.| As a Marvel fan I changed the face to "Deadpool" for fun. (Find any photo and it will upload to the watch. Got a nice nylon band (the quick release allows you to change bands like you would change socks, but much faster) I have the Epix Gen 2 51mm.. Expensive? Yes.. Worth it? Totally!

I purchased a Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) from Amazon US for nearly $800, expecting a premium, durable smartwatch that would last for many years. Unfortunately, after only 18 months of normal use, the watch developed a serious hardware failure. The issue started with a couple of buttons becoming unresponsive, and eventually the device stopped functioning properly. The watch has been extremely well cared for. It has no significant scratches, no cracks, and no signs of impact damage. I primarily used it for fitness tracking and surfing, always following Garmin’s recommended usage guidelines. I took the watch to Garmin’s authorized service center in Uruguay. After performing multiple tests and attempting to restore the system, they informed me that the failure could not be repaired. Their only solution was to offer me a refurbished replacement unit for approximately $439, with only a 90-day warranty. To put this into perspective, that is more than half the cost of the original watch after only a year and a half of ownership. What is even more concerning is that the service center acknowledged that this is not a common failure for this model and that the watch is in excellent cosmetic condition. For a premium product in this price range, I expected significantly better long-term reliability and customer support. A smartwatch costing nearly $800 should not suffer an unrecoverable hardware failure after such a short period of time. Very disappointed with both the product longevity and the resolution offered.

Best Buy ever! Basically a Fenix 8 for a fraction of the cost. Beautiful AMOLED screen with both touch screen and button options. Heart rate monitor and pulse ox are spot on. Waterproof for swimming (not diving) purposes - with great open water and pool accuracy (better than the Swim 2, imo). More choices of activity trackers than you could ever use, great watch face options. Really enjoy the morning summary feature; haven’t used the Garmin coach option (bummer that it doesn’t have a swim coach option - seems more geared towards runners). LOVE the smaller face size - looks proportional on my wrist, with really no compromise to function. Thick, but not bulky - I wear my literally 24/7. Holds a charge for a solid week at minimum with regular activity tracking. This was my first upgrade within the Garmin line (previously had a Swim 2) - I primarily swim, indoor bike, and treadmill run. I would buy this watch a million times over!

Update: 20 minutes of walking at an HR of 150bpm and it thinks I've only taken 50 steps. Do not buy this to track steps. Taking off two stars Really happy with this watch! Runs really well and provides a lot of helpful data. I don't run very often, more of an avid lifter, so some of the stuff like hill climb endurance and VO2 max scores aren't utilized but the sleep tracking and stress tracking is really nice. I charge it every morning or every other morning out of habit so I can't really comment on battery life, but it says it has 6 days the way I have it set up. It's heavy like a gshock, but not ridiculous or anything. The step counter seems pretty accurate every time I go to test it but it's reporting way less than every other tracker I've ever had (maybe they were over reporting?). It's plenty bright enough to handle the full Tennessee sun and adjusts seemlessly to indoor lighting conditions without my input. I already feel a lot better just listening to it's suggestions. I'm sleeping better and training harder. And the red flashlight is awesome for going to bed and not disturbing your wife or getting up to pee. It's also handy for making quick adjustments under the hood of your truck in the dark. I'll come back and update if/when it breaks. I wish it had Pandora support for music (I don't like Spotify) and macrofactor support for nutrition (only has my fitness pal).

Estoy encantado con mi Garmin. Es el primero que tengo así que no tengo punto de comparación pero a mi me funciona muy bien, llevo aproximadamente 6 meses con el. Principalmente lo uso para el Golf y ahora no puedo jugar una ronda sin mi reloj. Uso el reloj 24/7 (incluso para dormir) para sacar provecho de toda la estadística que te arroja y usualemnte lo cargo una vez a la semana mientras me baño, lo único que le baja mucha pila es una ronda de 4 horas de golf. 100% recomendado, entra en mi top de compras

Me gustó mucho el diseño, es fácil de usar, las instrucciones están claras. La batería le dura muchos días y tiene muchos deportes diferentes que puedes realizar y mapas también.

Cumple con lo esperado

Absolutely incredible smart watch that's bullet proof and with a battery that lasts for a month. Keeps track of everything I want it to and more. It comes with a durable and comfortable band that is super stylish. I highly recommend this product and wouldn't think twice if I had to buy it again.

Excelente producto
