Aesthetic and useful
I’ve had it for a month now and have used it for backpacking, hiking, running, cycling, paddle boarding, and swimming. And I love it! The only thing I wish it had was better battery for the 42mm. I climbed baker for 2 days 1 night and it had died on me on the second day. I need to figure out how to change the settings so it doesn’t drain the battery as much. But overall I love it!! Recommend it to everyone who loves the outdoors and is overall an active person and still want to look cute.

Love the new screen
Love it. Like the workout suggestions. Like the brightness of the screen. But I wish it came in white and not the sand/brown. Otherwise happy to have made the upgrade.

Upgrade from Fenix 5
Bought the Epic Pro Gen 2 Sapphire as a Father's Day present to myself. Had been very happy with the Fenix 5 I had for several years and wanted the AMOLED display. Features are very similar. I use the Strength, Walking, and SUP apps the most. They work well and have better features and can be customized easily. The only negative is that it seems to take a very abrupt wrist gesture to get the display to activate and show the time. I tried to find a way to have the display on all the time to no avail. Also the overall frame is a little smaller that the similar Fenix, so I might have opted for the 47mm vs the 42.

Bright screen, clunky interface
I have owned Garmin watches in the past, which were actually easier to use and more configurable, such as the original forerunner 450, and used it as a cycling computer, programming that watch to scroll through three different screens continuously. For Its time it was a brilliant watch, but the main problem was the battery life and especially screen brightness, which are obviously related the good news about the Epix pro is the brightness of the screen, this is an outstanding advance, undoubtedly related to better battery capacity The bad news is that that previous Level of configuration is difficult to replicate with the Epix Pro As pro athletes we don’t need all the goofy “ training readiness” type stuff, so maybe it’s not the right tool for the job, and maybe the “Pro” in the name is meaningless hype. The sleep function is cool, but not unique. The body battery doesn’t make sense to me yet. Furthermore, navigating through screens is exceedingly non-intuitive, and getting from viewing results or active monitoring versus setup is a random Hunt and peck exercise. One of my buddies on a recent climb in the Alps had the same watch, and he could not help me nor himself either. I’m going to try and look at some of the third-party cycling apps to see if there is more help there, And I acknowledge that buying a watch this complicated just before three weeks of hard climbing in the Alps is not an entirely fair test I really want to love this watch. It’s not completely terrible, but really falls a short of being a great watch. Kinda sad when the programming flexibility of a watch from the same company 10 years ago is better than what the current designers are putting out now, in the name of advancement. Keep trying Garmin!

Amazing piece of tech
I am so happy I got the Epix Pro. I had an Apple Watch and a Fitbit before this but none of the two can compare!!

Great display and watch
Bought this to replace a Fitbit. Loving the added features and bigger and brighter display. Love the added information and seems to be more accurate in the data it collected.

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.

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.
