"Battery life is great, I’ve had mine since last Friday, charged to 100%, have worked out 2hrs per day every day since, only take it off to shower and currently sat at 43%."
"I get 11 days with always on display. ... On AWU I was lucky to get into the next day with my workout routine."
"the battery is incredible. ... My epic lasts 14 to 16 days with no gps running constantly. ... If I'm hiking with gos on, I can easily get 4 to 7 days depending on settings."

"gives you an overall recovery metric that takes into account sleep, calories (of syncing with MyFitnessPal), and stress."
"it's literally a fitness tracker first ... then 2 miles of data sheets from all that tracking"
"intervals and distance is 99.5% perfect once you turn off auto rest - i manually lap each set"

"epix is a tank, it looks like you can destroy a brick wall with it."
"there's just nothing else that comes close to overall stability and quality ... I had practically zero bugs on my Epix 2"

"So much lighter and low profile than my Epix."
"epix 2, and fr965. Fenix & epix felt really chunky in comparison to the forerunner, especially running with them."
"if you buy a havy model like Fenix or Epix (>80gr ) at first it will take you a few sessions to get used to it but if you buy something lighter like venu, forerunner or fenix S version it will not interfere with the game at all."

"The damned thing hasn't woken me a single time during any "shallow sleep" phase, it always sets off on the exact time! ... If this doesn't get fixed by a firmware update, it was a total waste of money."
"During multi days, if I get to my destination and want to stop the watch for the days stats, I press resume later. This caches the data and will pop the activity back up the next day, but it COMPLETELY DISABLES sleep and other metrics like body battery. So I am unable to effectively track multi days of sleep in the backcountry, a metric I am interested in"
"my epix pro sometimes miss tracking my sleep being a little bulky ya know. ... I regret the bulk especially for sleep tracking"

"it doesn't have LTE so if you don't bring your phone you can't make an emergency call which I didn't like."
"I liked being able to say "Hey siri, set timer for 5 min" or whatever while my hands were all messy."
"if you want a fitness tracker with some smartwatch functionality get a Garmin"
aksyong 1.0Really wrist my wish is larger for Enduro, I'm rocking an epix pro 47mm and it's just right.
Diego-Jama 1.0My epix pro 47mm lasts 15 days with wrist gesture, and drain 2% per hour for battery in gps use (only gps Mode). In my use, I can pass 15 days with regular gps use without recharge.
I have a epix pro 47 mm and my watch lasts 15 days without a charge (gesture on / aod off, pulse ox off and stock wf). I Love this watch so much. In Last 5-6 years I've bought a lot of garmin watches (fenix 3hr, fenix 5, fenix 6 sapphire, forerunner 935, forerunner 955, forerunner 255, instinct 1, and now the epix pro. Epix is by far, the best watch Ive bought from garmin. Very happy with him
Epix pro is a great choice imo.
all garmin watches have all resources youve cited. In my case, I like the look, style and ruggeness, then, my favorite watch is epix/fenix line. I run 4-5 times a week, but use my watch 7 days week, I rly like fenix casual appearance on my wrist when Im not running or doing exercises.
DryAssociation5454 1.0I have Epix pro gen 2 47mm ss, it is great, got it for 50% off. Don't pay 800, look for discounts, also don't go for newest models, Instinct 2 solar or 2x is great, also Foreruner 955... Find some store and go try them and seek youtube for further info- chase the summit, desi fit...
Had 265, now epix pro gen 2 47mm. Had 70km run and batrery was 40-50% off. If can handle 51mm epix is with enduro battery and it is a beast too. You can try cts od youtube video about ultra marathon with 965. Epix is great watch, dont be concerned about updates, they are all old after one or two years...
Epix is awesome, yoy can find sales, bought pro gen 2 with 50perc off
Sensor hr 5, flash, sapphire? Maybe. Having epix pro gen 2 but love 955
Epix 2 pro gen is fantastic
Epix pro gen 2 is superb and for less money, 965 also, if wanting silkier, and 970 with torch
Instinct 3 45mm or 50 if he is bigger... epix pro gen 2 is very good rugged premium materials wathc, you can check them out. It is on masive sales now
45s>265>epix pro gen 2>instinc 3 45>vertical 2>255>enduro 3. That was my way. After couple years can say- 255/955 mips are one of best ever for lot of sports and mip lovers, their amoled sibilngs are also great. Instinct 2,3 also great rugged tanks. A little smaller screen for me (like 6-8 metrics for one screen during runs, ins.can go up to 4-5). F7 pro or 7x for bigger wrist, epix pro gen 2- fanstastic options but bulkier- just dont swim with them because buttons can get smooshy (mine did!). Flash and newest opt.hr great! Dont like too bright screens on vx1 and 970, and lame battety. Now enduro 3 comes in a way. It is truly fantastic. Smaller wrist about 17.5cm and it is not heavy like epix pro gen 2 47mm. Battery is 40days with little sun a day and 1h of gps 6 times a week. Crasy. Didnt now what to except, many here adore it, but now- I am one of them.
Having epix and it is really good, but will sell it due to bad start button after only 9 months from buying it. If you get one- just dont swim with it
Epix fenix are bulkier, heavier, silkier 965... go try them if can... fenix 7 or pro are amazing, no need for 8, except diving...
Novikus257 1.0And im saying that with Epix Pro gen 2 47mm on wrist 🤣
ooooomikeooooo 1.0The Epix Pro Gen 2 (47mm) was on sale last week for £360 and that has ECG. I bought it. Seems to have all the features on the Fenix and a nice bright Amoled screen.
That's where I got it from. Good deal and it's been very good so far, my first smart watch of any kind.
Infinity-onnoa 0.5Happy owner of an F6Solar 47mm for almost 5 years, delighted with the Mips screen and an autonomy of 14 days, I missed the integrated maps and substantial improvements in sleep control and lack of nap monitoring. 2 months ago I bought from a friend the Epix 2Gen 47mm with Amoled screen, and maps that, without training, the battery lasts 8 days and although I don't need more and I am satisfied with its features, I feel that I want more autonomy for my weekend getaways, where I monitor//route tracking//GPS...it needs more autonomy. My wrists are not wide, the 47mm fits well but I would often like to buy a 51mm Epix 2 pro. This new f8 has more than double the range of my epix 2, that would fit but the price….the price is inaccessible.
kbeezie 0.543 is tiny , even the standard 47 does more than that
even the 47mm should be getting like 8-10 with aod ON.
Living_Age_5918 0.5I’ve been rocking an Epix gen 2 47mm and recently tried on my buddy’s forerunner 265 and wow. I almost immediately went and bought it. So much lighter and low profile than my Epix. Really considering switching out my Epix
I went from an Apple Watch SE to the Epix Gen 2 AMOLED screen and I can say it’s the best decision I’ve made. This watch is indestructible with the sapphire screen (wiped out once or twice on a mountain bike and smashed it at work) that doesn’t scratch. The battery life is incredible, and it gave me motivation to start running. Couldn’t say better things about garmin watches (the app gets a lot of hate but I think the app is fantastic as well)
philhull 0.5I have a 47mm Epix Gen 2. I've had it for a few months now and I love it. I bought it because it was at a price point that I could afford and had the features I was looking for. Battery life is great and I've tweaked the settings to maximize the life where I only need to charge every two weeks or so with about 4-5 hours per week spent in workouts with AOD on.
_h_e_r_m_i_t_ 0.4255. Right for your running and cycling. Good batt and price. Epic too.heavy. HR can be less accurate if excessive bounce from running or excessive bounce on bike from uneven roads.
