Love the battery life!
I’ve had the Epic Pro for about 5 weeks. It keeps track of my workouts, sleep, rest days. Lets me know if I’m ready for another hard workout.

Epix
There is no information on how to call somebody to get help to run this watch. I’ve tried every forum to look up how to get my text messages to come through and no luck. I did do the text to talk. No one was able to help me

Love the watch, heart rate inaccurate
The watch is lovely and quite comfortable even while sleeping. Heart rate stays really low for the first ten minutes of my run (when other devices and manual say otherwise) and then sometimes will shoot up to 175+ for the entire hour after. Struggling to find a device that actually tracks the heart rate accurately.

Amazing watch!
I bought the Epix Pro Sapphire 42mm last month and I’m loving it, even though it was not my first choice. I originally wanted the Forerunner 965 due to its slimmer profile and the price, while still having all the features I wanted. Unfortunately my wrist is only 6” in diameter so the 51mm watch face was way too large. The Epix Pro 42mm still has all the features I want...

I’ve had my watch about a month. I’m never going back to Apple! This watch is worth the money. I that I can check my stress levels. Monitor my workouts and know when my body needs recovery.

Mostly great
I got this watch for the following reasons: AMOLED display, touch screen, more advanced heath and fitness tracking, and to track all of my activities which include wake surfing, hiking, running, trail running, and downhill and backcountry skiing. The watch looks great, touch screen work great, and it tracks everything beautifully EXCEPT backcountry skiing. It will still...

Like it not love it
Without any basic instructions, I have found it frustrating to figure things out. I'm disappointed that I have to enter my walk info into the app on my phone. I have tried looking up my questions online and haven't found the answers. A lot of trial and error.

Excellent fitness and golf tracking
Coming from a Fitbit this Epix 2 Sapphire DLC carbon titanium blows it out of the water in terms of fitness tracking. Sleep scores are accurate. Training readiness is a helpful feature to determine how much rest is needed between workout days. The golf tracking and app are literally game changers. Exact yardage for clubs on course is tracked and averaged over time. Also...

Great Fitness/Sport Watch
Obviously, this is not a cheap watch and may be overkill for many users, but it should be a wonderful upgrade for many people. Good battery life and health stats worth knowing. I will say that the built in flash light is used more frequently than I ever imagined. Who would have thought?

Almost Perfect!
I bought this watch and gave up my Apple Watch which I had for 8 years. my Garmin watch now provides me with so much more information and details than my other. I love that it so much more durable, more appealing to the eye and just an overall better watch. The only thing that I miss sometimes is having that cellular option. Only because I have kids and sometimes walk a...

Great watch!
Have had this watch for about a month. So happy with this purchase, I have found this a very valuable tool for me. Lots of good metrics, long battery life and very stylish. I was an Apple Watch user for years, and I’d never go back!

Money Well Spent
I upgraded my standard 47mm epix to the epix Pro 42mm, due to the ECG app availability. Although I would have been happier if the new feature would have come with a new software update on the old watch, I did not regret my purchase. I like the smaller watch face better, and the built--in watch face customization options are also great! The watch is very accurate and par...

Easy transition and upgrade from an Apple iWatch
Battery life is amazing, I love being able to adjust the watch faces to see the stats I’m interested in tracking. My main focus is tracking my walk distances, as my dogs age I don’t want to push them too hard but I want to keep us both healthy and active along with keeping track of my cycling activities. It’s so nice not to have to worry about running out of battery lif...

Not worth the hype
Extremely overpriced for what it is. Looks nice but there are other watches that are just as nice for less than $1000

Love all the stats and easy to use
The stats are easy to comprehend and the features can be customized as desired! I had an Apple Watch before and the difference in performance is huge! I love it!

Great Watch with Lots of Functionality
It took me awhile to configure. It's not as easy as an iWatch to set up, but the functionality far outweighs an iWatch. The battery life is far superior s well.

Little detail support for Epix Pro (Gen 2)
I was extremely excited to transition from my Apple watch to the Garmin Epix pro (Gen 2). I primarily transition for better tracking of strength training workouts. However, I still have not completely figured out how to utilize for self designed strength training workouts that track the entire workout and don't require me to start and stop at each set. Currently, it cou...

It is okay
I got this a couple of weeks ago, I like the look and that it is a lightweight watch on my wrist, especially for sleeping. Some of the features are a little difficult to figure out, I've watched a number of YouTube videos to try to help. Sometimes the watch will do weird things or randomly stop activity while I am in the middle of it (I have turned off the touch screen ...

Huge improvement over Fenix!
It’s been discussed ad-naseum, but the AMOLED is a huge improvement to the Fenix line. I love the 42mm sizing on my 17cm wrist, however, the provided silicone band is too small. Garmin please consider including or making a longer strap option for those that simply prefer the smaller watch face.
