Fenix or epix line are both good, my epix Gen 2 is great can't fault it.

Garmin is worse. They didn’t update their 1200€ watch after just under 2 years. The Epix Pro Gen 2 only received bug fixes and no new features or UI after releasing their Fenix 8.

I spent lots of time researching which one would be best and it was a toss up between the Garmin Fenix 7 and the Epix 2, the difference being the EPIX has an OLED screen and 15 days of battery and the Fenix has rhe AMOLED and likely twice as much. Decided on the Epix Pro Gen 2 on sale at HSamuel and

I’ve used both back and birth depending on how much working out consistently I’ve been doing. Apple Watch is a bit more integrated with iPhone but Garmin is leaps and bounds ahead for fitness stuff. My big recommendation though is make sure whatever model you get has Sapphire glass which is much mor

I feel your pain. My Epix gen 2 crapped out on me mile 25 of Ironman Copenhagen in 2023. Tbf I was similarly time-challenged that day. Went and bought a Fenix 8 with a 27 day battery life. Even I can’t go that slow…

I was the ultimate Fitbit fanboy for years, i would upgrade to the newest flagship watch with every release. I switched over to a Garmin Epix gen 2 and it’s so much better. I thought I’d miss all my data, but you get over that and can start rebuilding quickly. There is noone on the Garmin forums tal

Damn and the scuff marks just age it like a fine wine! I’ve had great reliability with all of my Garmin devices over the years. Currently using an Edge MTB and Epix Pro Gen 2, they are both seemingly indestructible. The Epix literally keeps me healthy, and not so gently coerces me into training ever

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.)

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
