"I get 11 days with always on display. ... On AWU I was lucky to get into the next day with my workout routine."
"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%."
"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."

"epix is a tank, it looks like you can destroy a brick wall with it."
"I bought it on launch so I've had it for about 3.5 years... Zero issues with it."

"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"

"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."
"Garmin has no clue when I fall asleep and that skews all data like body battery and other metrics like training readiness. ... On my Epix Pro, even if I put the watch myself to sleep mode, it says that I went to sleep 3-4 hours after that moment. So, I basically put it into sleep mode at 10pm and next morning it says I fell asleep at 3am in the morning and that I only had 3 hours of sleep. ... This leads to a poor readiness score and a crappy body battery. ... As the data analysts say "garbage in, garbage out"."
"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"

"So much lighter and low profile than my Epix."
"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."
"I would not wear it if I were a runner, to be honest. It just feels too bulky."
Really wrist my wish is larger for Enduro, I'm rocking an epix pro 47mm and it's just right.
r/GarminWatches • Goodbye Fenix 8, Hello Forerunner 970 ->Epix pro is a great choice imo.
r/GarminWatches • Forerunner 970, fenix 8 or fenix 7 pro ->My 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.
r/GarminWatches • Is it just me… ->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
r/GarminWatches • Is it just me… ->I 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...
r/Garmin • I am a bit confused. ->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...
r/Garmin • Forerunner 965 vs Epix Gen 2/Pro vs Fenix 7/Pro ->Sensor hr 5, flash, sapphire? Maybe. Having epix pro gen 2 but love 955
r/Garmin • Is garmin fenix 7 pro worth extra 240€ over Forerunner 955 for hiking / cycling ? ->Epix 2 pro gen is fantastic
r/Garmin • Which Garmin watch is best for hiking + gym + running? ->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
r/Garmin • Deciding what Garmin to get. ->Epix is awesome, yoy can find sales, bought pro gen 2 with 50perc off
r/GarminWatches • Garmin Fenix 8 vs. Epix Pro (Gen 2) vs. OnePlus Watch 3: The Ultimate Android Smartwatch Dilemma - Help Me Choose! ->Epix fenix are bulkier, heavier, silkier 965... go try them if can... fenix 7 or pro are amazing, no need for 8, except diving...
r/GarminWatches • Which Garmin watch should I get — Forerunner vs Fenix? ->Epix pro gen 2 is superb and for less money, 965 also, if wanting silkier, and 970 with torch
r/GarminWatches • What Garmin watch should I get for hiking, skiing, marathon training & lifting? ->And im saying that with Epix Pro gen 2 47mm on wrist 🤣
r/GarminWatches • Garmin watch for 24 hour GPS / navigation (battery life) ->The 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.
r/GarminWatches • Can someone recommend the best Garmin watch for me please? ->That's where I got it from. Good deal and it's been very good so far, my first smart watch of any kind.
r/GarminWatches • Can someone recommend the best Garmin watch for me please? ->43 is tiny , even the standard 47 does more than that
r/Garmin • What are the real advantages of Garmin over Apple Watch ->even the 47mm should be getting like 8-10 with aod ON.
r/Garmin • What are the real advantages of Garmin over Apple Watch ->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)
r/GarminWatches • I'm considering switching from an Apple Watch to a Fenix 8. ->I’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
r/GarminWatches • Goodbye Fenix 8, Hello Forerunner 970 ->His watch is a 51mm mip so as similar as you can get to the Enduro. Garmin doesn’t make a solar amoled watch. I would expect longer battery from the Enduro but something sounds wrong with his Fenix. Heck, I was getting almost 3 weeks out of my 6x pro and get about the same as he is getting with my 47mm Epix so something must be wrong.
r/Garmin • Fenix 8 Solar 51mm Review: A fantastic, end-game quality watch…if it weren’t for confounding, unforced problems ->Calories are never accurate. Get the Epic Pro Gen 2. The screen is essential for maps and navigation IMO.
r/UKhiking • What’s the best fitness watch for hiking? If any? ->Answer here on battery is “maybe.” I just switched over from an AW9 to an Epix Pro G2. At full charge it says 14 days life but once I turn on various features I am used to getting (AOD, O2, BT) it drops down to 5. Once I do an hour run listening to a podcast it cuts an additional day each time. So at the end of one day of wear it now reads 4 days life. So I honestly get 2-3 days of battery. I am almost committed to going back to AW and getting an Ultra 3 depending on what it offers. Again this is all my experience and there are tons of ways to milk life from the battery by disabling functions, but what’s the point?
r/Garmin • Is it worth it if I mostly weight train? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
