24/7..best Garmin watch for me!
I have been wearing Garmin watches for 20+ years...all great, but the Epix Pro Sapphire is the best yet! Full features in an activity monitor, tracker, and coach...and the watch spotlight feature is super convenient and a great tool that I didn't expect to use when I bought it.

Already returned for refund
When learned about how you don't really update older watches and that this did not have the latest updates (Rucking), I decided that I don't want to own your watch.

Beautiful Watch
Coming from a Fenix 5s this display is quite a looker. No issues in seeing the screen and bright light. Fast and accurate GPS tracking

fenix 5x to epix7pro
working well for me during hiking/rucking. visibility much improved with smoked. using same gearmin3 watch face . improved hiker app. hiking with max gps accuracy will eat up battery but worth it for me for accurate daily mountain trail rucking workouts. love the wake alarm morning report for weather/ temps during fall shoulder season.

Great Watch!!
I have had this watch about 1 1/2 years it is a great motivator for exercise, hiking, intensity minutes and achieving preset goals! Also the sleep feature is very helpful as is the HRV, training readiness and VO2max features! I am basically tied to my Epix Pro watch and would be lost without it!!

Very good watch and a rival to the Fenix Version
I purchased this watch to upgrade from an aging Fenix 3HR. I initially had concerns about the watch's capability in light of the recently released Fenix 8 Pro models. I also had concerns about battery life given this was an older generation using an OLED touchscreen. Battery has not been an issue so far. I have been presently surprised by this watch. It is light years a...

Great watch
I have owned Garmin products for nearly 40 years. This shows the most promise of all.
Still learning how to access all the features. The company is great.

The Garmin upgrade
I've had the forerunner since 2015 and bought the Epix Pro when it was in sale. I love the screen (easier to read) and all the workout options. I even use the light about 2 or 3 times a week. Overall, I'm luvin' it.

Simply Outstanding
I purchased the 51mm Epix 2 Pro Sapphire and simply couldn't be more pleased. The OLED touchscreen, flashlight (including red light), and improved functionality are simply second to none. I upgraded from the Fenix Pro 6 (also a great line) and couldn't be happier.

Best watch for Apple Watch people
I really enjoy the display and battery life compared to my Apple Watch. The Garmin eco system rules and works well with Apple in 2025. I got this watch used but the thing is bulletproof and build like a tank. I absolutely love this watch, my last Garmin was a Fenix 3, and had the same confidence inspiring feel.

Best fitness/activity tracker bar none
I’ve had a bunch of Garmin watches and I can say the Epix pro is my favorite. The bright display and overall all the metrics to help you get the most out of any activity.

Best adventure watch ever!
I’ve had this same watch for 3-4 years. It’s been through multi day Adventure Races. Long battery life. It’s also my every day training watch. Trail running, biking, etc. I also use it form yoga and golf.

Beautiful watch
Beautiful watch! This watch has pretty much everything you need if you’re an athlete, in to fitness, hiking or someone that just wants to monitor their health. Battery life is amazing as well. If you want a speaker and mic, you’ll need to get the Fenix 8. If that doesn’t matter, get the Epix.
