Garmin epix Gen 2, Premium active smartwatch, touchscreen AMOLED display, Adventure Watch with Advanced Features, Slate Steel

Great watch, versatile and smart looking. It is large at 47mm but the display is so crisp and clear, and there is so much information available, I am glad to have the medium sized Epix. Will post more later, if relevant.

Very good product!

I have every Apple Watch and most Garmin watches but this is the best watch I have ever owned. Apple Watches are nice but hard to read and they only last a day and half per charge (the Ultra). Most Garmin watches are had to use and hard to see. I have bought the Fenix 5, 6 solar titanium, Foreruinner and others. None of them compare to the Epic Gen 2. The Amoled screen is the best on the market. Easy to see even in bright sunlight. Touch screen works better than any watch I have owned. It is very easy to use (most Garmin are hard to use and see). It doesn’t have fall protection or phone calling like the Apple but I never used those anyway. And did I mention that it goes 15 days on a singe charge. LET ME REPEAT THAT 15 DAYS ON A SINGLE CHARGE. This is the watch Apple should have made. Every watch should have an Amoled Sceen PERIOD!!!!!! This is the only watch I will need for a long time. Highly Recommend! PS gave my Apple Ultra to my brother.

I was at the beach and acquired an infection on my foot that I was unaware of. It spread to my lymph node. Two days later my Garmin Watch which tracks my heart rate notified me that my heart rate was over 100. I looked at my respiration rate and it was over 20. I was in sepsis. I went to the hospital and spent three days getting IV antibiotics. If the watch had not notified me of my heart rate and respiration, I would never have known to go to the hospital and I would have died. It’s not cheap but I will never buy another brand of watch. Thank you Garmin. I literally owe you my life.

This watch is superb quality. As it should be for the price tag. I haven't gone out and tested the GPS system yet but I have had other Garmin watches and this one is the best by far. The clarity on the screen is great. Response to you looking at it is almost instantaneous. Great watch. Very high price point but you get what you pay for.

After the watch housing broke on my friend's FR645, then the housing breaking on my wife's FR645, I was hesitant to replace like for like when my FR645 housing broke.I opted for the stainless Epic Gen 2 thanks to countless reviews, plus a great discount on Prime Day.The good:Battery life is phenomenalAMOLED display is very bright in every environment so far.It has many more features than my old watchI like the aesthetic looksBarometer for flying!The bad:Compared with the FR645:It's heavyIt's thick'Flashlight' isn't really a flashlight (double click the light button and you'll see, maybe)Long sleeve clothing can be difficult. My motorcycle jacket inner liner pulls on the Epic when I take it off.The circle design on the face has somewhat sharp edges. Not sharp enough to cut the skin, but it can snag clothing.Overall, I give the watch a 9/10.

I have a 6.2” wrist so was a bit worried about this size of this - no problems at all comfort or fit wise - I love it!! It’s not a subtle size - but I got a few brightly colored bands to change out and make it a statement watch. I’ve worn it running, biking, to professional work presentations, no problems. The battery life is amazing - I don’t even have to bring the charger vacations. Got used to sleeping with it in just a couple days despite not ever wearing a watch to bed previously, and love the metrics: the sleep score - the recommended workouts and body battery. So many awesome features and the screen clarity is amazing. I got this upgrading from my beloved 645-and have been wearing Garmin’s since I think 2006. Their tech keeps improving and data privacy is solid!

After only 13 months (conincidence?), my watch started going to music controls on it's own. The back button also became unresponsive, working about 5 seconds after pressing it. I turned the watch off and on, charged it fully, plugged it into my PC and did an update using Garmin Express. No joy. So, then I tried a hard reset by holding in the light button. When it restarted, the "Reset default settings?" screen comes up. If I select No, nothing happens, if I select Yes, the watch reboots and this screen opens up again. I tried doing a hard reset by turning the watch off, holding in the Start/Stop and Back buttons, releasing the Start button after the first beep and the Back button after the second beep, but nothing changed. I went through a number of Q&As on Garmin's support site and read several forum topics, but nothing worked. I eventually contacted Garmin Support. It took over a month to get a response, which was simply:"Good day.Thank you for contacting Product Support.First, please accept our apologies for not answering your email in the time we quoted on our website. Due to an unforeseeable high volume of emails and calls we’ve received this has led to a backlog, which we’ve been working hard to restore to our usual service levels.I just wanted to confirm if this has been resolved?"How could it have been resolved if no one even attempted to assist?I replied, saying it hadn't been resolved. That was almost 2 weeks agao, and once again, radio silence.The watch also seems to be, at times, wildly innacurate with heart rate and sleep tracking.For the price of this watch, I would recommend considering different options, of which there are quite a few these days.*Update*: Another week has passed without a word from Garmin. The fact that it took a month to get even a response email because of "unforseeable high volume of calls" leads me to believe I am one of many, many users having issues with their Garmin device/s.
