I switched to Android earlier this year which meant I had to dump my Apple Watch Ultra 2 for compatibility reasons.
Pros:
– Battery life
– Durability
– Bright screen
– Flash light
– Community
Cons:
– There is a known issue with Garmin Pay and adding Chase visa cards. (spoke with support about this multiple times)
– You CANNOT use Airpods pro 2 with this watch. Too many dropouts/disconnects. The watch isn’t able to handle multiple connections so had to buy a dedicated headset just for it.
– No driving Maps turn by turn directions available, had to download a 3rd party app that its ok.
– The watch doesn’t automatically display depth like Apple Watch or automatically start/suggest an activity.
– This uses a watch beep type speaker so expect to know the difference between notifications.
– Charging port is awkward and proprietary. No wireless charging.
– The watch doesn’t detect when you’re not wearing it. If I take it off and sit it on a table the red/green lights continue non stop.
– No way to lock the watch with a passcode or link it to your Garmin account to prevent theft.
– Incoming phone calls I wish the watch vibrated more than once otherwise it feels like a text message.
– Fall detection and emergency calling/texting is only active during workouts.
I could go on. Yes the cons list is longer than the pros and this watch is on sale for $900 currently. Going to keep it as Android users only options are Samsung Watch, Pixel Watch and Fitbit which of the 2 you will be charging daily. If you’re looking for more smart options the Venue 3 is best but isn’t as rugged looking and misses a few features the Epix and Fenix has.

El reloj está increíble, se ve muy bien y tiene todas las funciones que he necesitado hasta ahora con muchas formas de monitorear cómo vas avanzando en tu entrenamiento, desde tus niveles de resistencia y energía, hasta batería corporal y preparación para entrenar.
Mis entrenamientos principales son de fuerza y de intervalos de alta intensidad, y no ha tenido ningún problema para medirme el ritmo cardíaco durante estos ejercicios. El contador de pasos y de escaleras subidas/bajadas también es muy preciso.
Tiene muchos deportes y ejercicios predeterminados y en la app de Garmin Connect puedes crear tus propios entrenamientos.
La medición de sueño no siento que se del todo confiable y leyendo la experiencia de otros en internet, parece que estamos de acuerdo. Me ha detectado siestas al estar sentado usando mi teléfono o cuando estoy en mi PC. También ha detectado erróneamente la hora en que me duermo.
Otro punto que podría ser más personal que algo del reloj, es que me ha detectado subidas de estrés cuándo estoy haciendo una actividad diaria, como hacer de comer por ejemplo, entonces creo que el algoritmo que utiza el reloj para calcular el estrés es un poco sensible, al menos en mi caso.
Con excepción de la medición de sueño y estrés, que en mi uso no son tan importantes (por lo que mantiene sus 5 estrellas), el reloj me ha gustado muchísimo y no dudaría en recomendarlo.

The Garmin EPIX Pro 2—your passport to explorations and letdowns. It’s like that friend who boasts about their sense of direction but, when push comes to shove, can’t lead a group out of the kitchen and into the living room. Would you trust the EPIX Pro 2 to deliver an accurate breadcrumb trail when the trail turns deceptive?
At first, it appears to be a thing of beauty. A timepiece that seems ready to conquer Everest while you are merely trying to endure a grocery run. It has all the looks and well, all the moves, making you feel as if you are on the fast track to fitness nirvana. But! Just like my last three relationships, it is threatening to dissolve into chaos.
The watch is crammed with features that promise to monitor everything from your heart rate to your deep-seated anxieties. And while it could’ve been the ultimate companion for your outdoor beatdowns, the software sucks harder than my caffeine-addled brain did the morning after last night’s debauchery. It might as well have a “self-sabotage” mode built in—one minute, you’re between reps, and the next, it’s convinced you’re basking in the afterglow of the worst decision you’ve ever made.
Now let’s discuss those little insects. If I wanted to witness something going south, I could just rewatch my dating life. The loyal and trusted workout “Companions” were obstinate misfit strangers—invited guests at my unfit funeral. They were party poopers, repeatedly stalling in mid-movement, losing GPS signals as if they were disillusioned with relationships, and attacking my fitness goals when I was down on my knees in some kind of strange personal fitness prayer. It was trying to hide in plain sight if it ever did in fact function successfully. Returning these ardent workout “companions” began to feel like Turkey’s recent escape from the EU: a necessity for survival and a series of steps that, in hindsight, felt damn good.
To sum up, the Garmin EPIX Pro 2 could be great if it only could get its act together. Until then, it’s just another reminder that sometimes, even the most promising tech can end in disaster. If you enjoy the unpredictability of living on the edge and don’t mind a tech abyss, you might enjoy this. Otherwise, save your heart and look for something that can promise you tech excitement with less risk.

Upgraded to the Epix from a Fenix 6X. Many may wonder is it worth it to get the Epix if you already have a reasonably late model Fenix. My take, yes. But cost can’t be ignored obviously and is relative.
The display is a significant upgrade from the MIPS Fenix 6. And while I was concerned using the AMOLED display of the Epix in bright sunlight, it’s absolutely not an issue when the backlight is used. The second upgrade from the Fenix 6 series which is also significant is battery life. It’s almost twice that of the Fenix 6 I used with comparable settings.
A worthy mention here is the GPS signal is noticeably quicker to connect and a little more accurate. Another is the flashlight. I find myself using it after thinking it was quite unnecessary.
The interface is typical Garmin. Simple, the menus are well laid out and it’s easy to make adjustments.
It’s a fantastic watch. Glad they kept the lug width @ 26mm so the titanium band I used on the Fenix 6 works with the Epix.
Garmin continues to be the grand leader in this segment. The advancements have been progressive and a real positive over the years. I’ve looked hard to get something better, but can’t at this point in time.
Recommended.

The Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition is the epitome of a high-performance smartwatch that seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with rugged durability. From the moment I strapped it on, I knew this was not just any smartwatch—it’s a game-changer.
Firstly, the 51mm display is breathtaking. Crystal-clear and responsive, it provides an immersive experience whether I’m checking notifications or navigating through various activities. The Sapphire Edition ensures durability, and I haven’t seen a scratch despite my adventurous lifestyle.
The advanced training technology is a fitness enthusiast’s dream. It accurately tracks every aspect of my workouts, from heart rate to oxygen levels, and even monitors my stress levels throughout the day. The insights provided have truly helped me optimize my training regimen.
But what truly sets the Epix Pro apart is its versatility. Whether I’m hiking in the wilderness or running in the urban jungle, the built-in flashlight has been an unexpected yet invaluable feature. It’s come in handy more times than I can count, providing a reliable source of light during unexpected moments.
The battery life is impressive, lasting through my longest adventures without skipping a beat. Plus, the multitude of downloadable maps and the ability to sync routes from my phone have been lifesavers on more than one occasion.
The build quality is top-notch, surviving drops, bumps, and various weather conditions without any issues. And the intuitive interface makes navigating through its plethora of features a breeze.
Overall, the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition is more than just a smartwatch; it’s a companion built for the toughest challenges. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, an outdoor explorer, or simply someone who values technology that keeps up with their lifestyle, this smartwatch is an investment worth every penny.

I was holding onto my Garmin Fenix 5X waiting for a watch with enough new features to justify upgrading. I skipped the Fenix 6 and watched as the Fenix 7 came along. With the new AMOLED display in the Epic thought maybe this would be the time.
The clincher for me was moving to a job where I could wear the watch all day, plus the recent price drop for the holidays.
I opted for the Epix Pro Sapphire 51mm due to the larger batter and extended life. I have a large enough wrist that the smaller watches seem too dainty, anyway.
The watch features are amazing. The addition of blood oxygen monitoring alone has been worth the price of admission. I am able to get much better insight into my sleep quality and struggles with obstructive sleep apnea.
The EEG is also an amazing capability to have on your wrist.
I’ve noticed the processor response times are faster than my older 5X.
I’ve yet to use some of the features like onboard music and Garmin pay.
Just an amazing and gorgeous watch.

Hermoso!!! Es mi primer reloj inteligente y deportivo, llevo apenas 2 días con el y ya estoy fascinado, espero me dure muchos años.

As a long time Garmin user I must say this Epix 51mm is amazing. I’ve owned the Fenix 3HR, 6X and 7X. All were fantastic watches in their own ways. I always wanted the 51mm size in AMOLED, and now the Epix offers that. The battery life is simply amazing and in smart watch mode, I get longer life than my 7X. The screen is AMAZING much like an Apple Watch or Samsung watch. This is NOT a smart watch in the sense of Apple or Samsung. This is a fitness/outdoor watch. You’re not going to make phone calls, watch videos etc on this watch. This is geared for folks who value health metrics. Overall, I’d say this watch is the best Garmin has to offer. The new HR appears better than the older generation. It’s able to lock on and read HR during strength training workouts. The older models struggled in that area like most wrist based HRM. Steady state cardio workouts, the HRM is spot on! It’s an expensive watch, but worth every penny in my opinion. The maps are absolutely detailed and MUCH easier to read when compared to a MIP display offered in the Fenix series.

I struggled with buying this watch because of the cost but ultimately I couldn’t help myself. I am so glad I did. I’ve never owned a watch that is so useful beyond telling time. The flashlight. The weather. Sleep patterns. Heart rate. Step counting. GPS. Compass. Plus much more. Admittedly there’s a learning curve to using all the features but once you get the hang of it,there’s a logic to accessing and editing features.
The battery life on the 51 is phenomenal. I have a Casio ProTrek and that requires a daily charge . The Garmin will go for almost 2 weeks between charges, depending on the features you actively use.
Obviously it’s a handsome watch and so far the titanium watch and sapphire glass has held up with no scratches. I like being able to customize the watch faces too to reflect different data fields or just more appealing face/colors.
I highly recommend the watch if you’re comfortable spending such a large amount.
It’s also the most comfortable watch I’ve ever worn.

Really an amazing piece of machinery. Huge battery, built in flashlight (that I use pretty regularly), tons of info and even apps at your fingertips.
Two things it does NOT have: 1. microphone / speaker: you cannot make or receive phone calls, and it cannot make any sound. This is due to the fact that it is really waterproof down to 50 meters or something like that, so it can’t have any open ports like a speaker or mic.
2. it will NOT measure your VO2max, unless you run at 70% of your max heart rate for 10 minutes. I’m too big and old to run like that, so it doesn’t measure my VO2max. A bit of a disappointment since my earlier fitbit would do that.
I really do love it and plan to keep it, but also it is a bit of “power tool” for fitness enthusiasts and doesn’t do a couple of the more common smartwatch features that you might expect.
