Impressive. I'm about to hit 4 years with my Epix Gen 2... I keep reminding myself that

Thinking about ditching Garmin for Suunto would that be a mistake?
I had thr same feeling from Garmin, getting frustrated with charging for premium £1000+ watches, then hiding features behind a paywall Moved from a Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 to a Suunto Race S about 6 weeks ago & haven't looked back since

What kind of smart watch are you wearing on the trails AND in the office?
Garmin epix pro gen 2. If I had to get a new one right now, I'd get the new Fenix, whatever it is. 8? But I just wear it with bright silicone bands even with suits in court, because who cares.

Not the most frugal thing I know, I just splurged on myself with a new running watch, Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 sapphire. Ran be $450, and that is on sale. I run 1000-1500 miles a year and I like data. I think it will be worth it (and a lot better than the Vivoactive 4 I've been using since 2020.)

Why all the hate for AMOLED?
The two major issues you'll hear about relate to battery life and visibility in sunlight. Many people see the compromises in these two as deal-breakers, and given that Garmin is switching a lot (if not all) of their watches to AMOLED or at least with AMOLED options, I think people are chirping about

I don't do anything, but want a Garmin.
I bought an Epix Gen 2 a couple of years ago. I don’t use half the features but I love the look and feel of it. Go for it! No one really needs a Rolex, Breitling, or TAG Heuer, either, but they sell a lot of them for no reason other than keeping time and looking great on your wrist. Why can’t we do

As an epix pro 2 user am I missing out on anything specific to a Fenix?
The epix gen 2 is basically a renamed fenix 7 but in AMOLED. I have the fenix 7 pro sapphire solar mip, wife has the epix gen 2, and they are identical in every way except for screen technology and solar. The fenix 7 did not come in AMOLED, they released that version as the epix. For the fenix 8 lin

Epix Pro Gen2/Fenix 7 Pro - would you buy this watch again or went for other brand/model?
Epix Pro Gen 2 (51mm, DLC). For me it feels absolutely great and does more things I wanted it to do. 10/10 would buy again, especially now since the price dropped. Navigation and battery life is what I wanted this watch for - I like to do very long hikes and with all systems deployed my watch advert
