Or Fenix 8, 43mm. Maps are awesome. I had a Fenix 7S but my last one is an Epix Pro 42mm.
Fenix battery is far superior but the Epix screen is much easier to see.
No shit. I had no issues with any of the three. My EPIX PRO 2 was discounted so your comment explains why I got it cheap but I thought the discount was due to nearing end of life. I've used all three and track 2-3 workout events a day, steps and sleep. I never had an issue with any of them. Fenix 5S sapphire, Fenix 7S, sapphire/solar, Epix Pro 2.
Depends from model. Really difficult for me sleep and wear everyday garmin epix pro gen 2, 42mm. Really not accurate, too bulky. I sell it, and buy a forerunner 165, 43mm. No problem to wear when i sleep or everyday use. I m really happy with it!
i also have an epix pro (42mm)! love it also. it resolved all the issues i had with the suunto race S. I have issues with garmin (app sucks, for one) but ultimately it works for all the crucial stuff. I was curious about the coros watches but suunto need a whole new approach to win me back at this point…
For years I wore a Fenix 5s and then 6s in rose gold. I have an Epix Pro Gen2 now which has a nice amoled display like the current Fenix 8 series. The Epix 42mm (same size as the Fenix s series) came in soft gold which is also attractive for women. I almost got that but I wanted a little more battery life so I went with a 47mm this time around. But the 42mm would been just fine and if I had a job where I have to dress more professionally I would have gone with that one.
The Epix pro gen2 is the last generation and while not cheap, is an excellent deal since it does almost everything the current Fenix series does (certainly everything your wife wants) including the current gen HR sensor and has an amoled display. The Venu watches are okay but are more lifestyle and not true sports watches. I briefly had one and it wasn’t near as durable as the Fenix/Epix.
All of these had sapphire glass because I’m not the most girly girl and am tough on my watches.

If you just want a good running watch without too many extra things I would look at the Forerunner 570. If you want something a bit more “fancy”, maybe the Epix Pro 43mm. It’s a “last gen” watch so it can be got at a good price but it is still an elite fitness watch.
I honestly am glad I switched back to Apple Watch after a year and a half with a Garmin Phoenix gen 2. I love my Apple Watch Ultra 2 it’s actually holding up better than my Garmin watch did even in the black metal color. It is way more comfortable than the Garmin that watch fucked up my wrist.
All the things that I liked about my Garmin watch like body battery stress ect I’m able to get from the Bevel app but better and plus so much more. The battery life is enough 3.8-4 days (if I don’t work out) as I don’t use Wi-Fi/cell or always on display I typically just charge and clean my watch when I shower anyway.
Biggest reasons I got rid of my Garmin it felt clunky the UI was absolutely trash and I felt like a lack of customization, especially with the watch face they all just felt very generic. Overall, just poor user Experience I mean there’s menus on the Garmin where it doesn’t even show you the fucking time WTH kind of watch doesn’t show you the time. I literally would have to hang up a phone call to see the time on my garmin. Apple Watch always shows the time no matter what screen it’s on.
Obviously, the Apple Watch is a way smarter device. But the gps accuracy is pretty close I heard on the ultra three it’s basically the same as most Garmin watches but some scenarios with swimming in mountains get messy The hr accuracy is better on Apple Watch and you get way more health features better fall and car crash detection hearing damage, warning, ekg better, abnormal heart rate sensing. Blood 02 is more accurate but some newer models are limited to only manual O2 reading due to patent issues. Sleep tracking seems better especially when paired with the Bevel app this app is awesome seriously, they recently also just came to Garmin watches too.
But god dam that battery life on my garmin was epic, I also really liked the amount of buttons and the fact that you could basically control the whole watch with button buttons. The ultra has an orange button that you can program to do anything I have it set for flashlight and the flashlight is way brighter than my Garmin but my Garmin watch didn’t have the actual flashlight that some do.
Garmin is still awesome Great utility device and it seems as if many of their models have come down in price I got basically a brand new Apple Watch Ultra 2 open box in perfect condition for 600 bucks which was cheaper than my Garmin, I love Garmin but to use it every day or even just workouts made me go insane they just need to hire some good UI folk maybe this has changed on the brand new Garmins.
