Garmin – epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition 47mm Fiber-Reinforced Polymer – Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Black Band – (2024)

Garmin realistic review - Great Watch, but the Charger and Interface Need Improvement Overall, I really like my Garmin watch. One of my favorite features is the built-in flashlight, which is extremely convenient. I also really enjoy the running, activity tracking, and calorie-tracking features. However, I feel like Garmin could improve a few things, especially the charging system. The proprietary charging port doesn’t feel like the best quality. You have to make sure the watch and charger are sitting properly on a flat surface. If you leave it near the edge of something and the watch falls or gets moved, the charger disconnects way too easily. I think Garmin could design a much better and more secure charging connection. Another area that could use improvement is the Garmin app and the watch’s interface. Both could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate. It takes quite a while to learn all the features and understand how everything works, especially for someone new to Garmin. Other than those issues, I think it’s a great watch with a lot of useful features. I enjoy using it, but I believe improving the charging system and simplifying the interface would make the overall experience significantly better.

Still my favorite! - I purchased this going on two years. It’s been on my wrist since the day I bought aside for cleaning and charging. I will never go back to apple or any other. I’m data driven, so I love the dashboard and how ai can track everything!

Perfect watch - I got it around 7 months ago, Que quality is amazing really good response swimming, running and cycling. Very strong and resistant material, I hit it a couple times as an accident and still looking like brand new. Battery life is amazing it last for around 15 days.

Awesome - This is my second Garmin and I love it! Totally recommended

Great product - This product came super quick. No damage to package. The lady at my local Best Buy that helped me order it was super helpful and got me in and out. I really like all the features this watch has. It has not left my wrist which is amazing because the battery Not died yet compared to my Apple Watch that I would have to charge daily…. I highly recommend Best Buy for this purchase.

epix Pro - improved battery and easier function - Coming to this from a series 8 Apple watch, mostly for battery. I'm a golfer, so I lose a little bit running the GPS during rounds, but otherwise I'm charging once every 10 days compared to once every night with the Apple watch.

Some good, some bad - Coming from forerunner, this watch is a upgrade. Love the flashlight, good choice of apps and great battery life. I still lack enough ways to track my workouts that i can customize. For instance, for HIIT workouts, i am looking for a tech that can let me track and sync to strava which this watch does not have.

Fantastic - 100 % recommended, It works really well—a very high-quality product. It's fantastic, though it's a shame the price has gone up.

Best Hiking Watch! - I made the switch to Garmin from Apple after my Series 5 AW couldn’t hold a charge for a 14 mile hike and I have never looked back. The data this watch gives me along with the hiking specific features blows AW out of the water (and I had used AW for 7 years). I also like tracking my walks and strength workouts with my Garmin and love that it is less smartwatch and more fitness watch. On top of recording 1-2 workouts almost every day I still only have to charge it about once a week!!

Amazing smart watch - I have worn this watch for almost 6 months straight and it has been amazing the entire time. The battery lasts around 10 days, depending on how much I use the map feature. It measure my HR, HRV, sleep, calorie consumption, and workouts great. I love how it can connect with Strava, Runna, and Lose it! to dial in my training and diet. Worth every penny and still not a scratch on the face(I work in a hazardous environment)

An UPGRADE from the Apple Watch ! - Great batter life in a sleek and beautiful design!

GARMIN Epix pro gen 2 - Love this product amazing quality would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy their first Garmin watch. Thanks to the person who helped me at the Best Buy store he was extremely kind and helpful helping my purchase with the watch go smoothly.

Still a great watch - For being the 2024 flagship smartwatch model for a short while, it is still a great buy today. This particular watch did get the current health hardware that is in other current watches like Fenix 8, so you do get the EKG function among other things. Being able to customize the watch face with the stock watch faces or other watch faces and get other watch apps thru the Garmin Connect IQ app is great. The 'Connect' app compliments getting the data for your day and being able to see / digest what you have done for the day with health stats. The multiple recording modes for specific activities is quite extensive. And being able to get about 10-11 days of battery life before re-charging is a game winner! It is large for 47mm, but is attractive also. Good either for workouts or a night out.

Great watch - Best smart watch I’ve ever purchased! Best investment

Excellent watch - This is a great watch if you can find one on sale. My only point of contention is the weight of the beauty. If you are comfortable with slightly heavier gear on your wrist, look no further. I had the 48 mm variant, and it still felt a bit too intrusive to me.

Good watch - Works well once you get used to it (Switched from Apple to this).

Garmin Epix - Best watch ever. Battery life is amazing and also the flashlight is super handy.

Great watch, great app, great price at Best Buy - I’ve worn this watch for over a month now before writing this review. It takes about three weeks or so for the watch to take enough sample readings to fully flesh out your overall health picture. Although I have an iphone, I chose to go with a Garmin watch over an Apple watch mainly due to the outstanding battery life and the features of this watch. It’s been interesting seeing how the watch rates my sleep habits, I mainly score somewhere between fair, poor, and non-restorative. Need to work on that I guess! I like to ride my bicycles and with the addition of the speed and cadence sensors the watch now becomes a cyclocomputer on my wrist. If I have a limited time to ride I can just input the distance I have time for and it will suggest a few possible routes from my location to make that distance. Select the route and it gives me turn by turn navigation. Couldn’t be easier! The built in flashlight is very convenient and the timers and stopwatch is easy to operate. I like that I can customize the watch face, color pallet, watch hands, etc and also choose what features I want to appear on the watch face. The touch screen is very responsive, I did add an inexpensive screen protector and a case bumper to help protect the watch while I’m at work. I have had no issues with connectivity with the Garmin app and the integration with my old iphone 11 has been stellar, all my notifications come through to the beautiful AMOLED screen immediately. Really looking forward to traveling more with this watch and making use of the gps and navigation features to go hiking. Garmin’s features definitely lend itself to adventures more so than Apple watches do. I don’t regret this purchase at all, it’s a wonderful watch!

Epix gen-2 Pro - Perfect product perfect delivery. The price very value for money. Highly recommended.

Best Buy Service and product - The product is good, and delivery was quick. I am contented with Best Buy service.
