Epix Series

Just ordered an Enduro 3 to replace my Epix Gen 2 Pro 51. I love the Epix but I've been regretting getting it over the Fenix for a while now. My wife has the Fenix and loves the MIP. I don't use AOD so the battery on my Epix is fine but I do get annoyed with tilt-to-wake not always working when I expect it to, and combined with the Epix not getting new features in software updates, I pulled the trigger on the 25% off deal through ExpertVoice. Very excited for the switch and will put my Epix up for sale when the Enduro arrives.

A few months ago I made the transition from the FR245 to the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire and have been enjoying the change, I especially like the larger and brighter screen. I hope you have a great time with the new watch!

I usually wear both a watch and a fitness tracker. For the watch, it is usually a Seiko SKX007 or a Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster. For the fitness tracker, I wore a Garmin Forerunner 245 for several years, and a few months ago, I purchased an Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire (47m).

I initially bought the Epix Pro as my first Garmin watch, but I was disappointed with its performance. It felt like a device from a decade ago. I then returned and replaced it with the Fenix 8. If I had bought the Epix a year ago, I wouldn’t have upgrade it. However, as my first device, I think it’s fair to invest a little more in it. F8 47mm is more responsive 0.1 inch bigger screen with remarkably better resolution than same size epix pro gen2

I've got both, and honestly my Epix Pro Gen2 is equal in day-to-day use. If anything, it's a tad snappier and less buggy. It doesn't get the latest updates, but it also hasn't gotten the latest bugs.

Totally get that. The Epix is overkill for sleep, but it’s elite the moment you need GPS, activities, or a backup for your bike. Fitbit wins on simplicity, Garmin wins on “when things matter.” If you already own the Epix, I’d keep it and avoid downgrading unless you truly want friction-free sleep tracking.
