Fenix 7 Pro / Epix Pro are basically the same as Fenix 8, with all the same sensors and internal hardware, and LED flashlight on every model, the main differences are: F

Garmin users are getting screwed, and most don’t even realize it

I have the Epix Gen 2 and have been very happy with it. 3 years on and the battery is not what it first was, but that happens with all tech devices. I get that newer models and more updates , but my watch still does everything I paid for initially. If I was to upgrade again now, the only tangible fe

Help me decide - AMOLED or Solar

I owned the Epix 2 and now the Fenix 8. Bothing being AMOLED I've had none of these problems. I wonder if this person is challenged or had a defective watch.

HR Chest Strap readings from rolling

How old are you / what belt are you? Curious as to how this compares over age and rank / time training. I'm 44M / purple belt, track every training session with Polar H10 strap -> Garmin Epix Gen 2. Max HR is low 180s. I never actually hit it, the closest I'll get is high 170s. Most of my training s

Good smart sportswatch

If you already are in the Garmin ecosystem, then get a Garmin. I have an Epix Pro Gen 2 that does everything.

AWU3 vs Garmin Fenix 8 - losing my mind over this GAS spiral 😅

To be honest based on what you plan on doing I think Garmin is the perfect fit for you. I think you’re right, in that people are always posting they switched but I would go out on a limb to say they aren’t even doing half of what you’re doing. I had an Epix 2 (non-pro) and just switched to an ultra

Hoe pakken jullie het aan?

Welke garmin heb je? En zandvoort staat toevallig bij mij in de kalender in de garmin(epix pro gen 2). Dan past hij automatisch je schema aan, aan je doel tijd. Je ziet ook een bandbreedte van je totale belasting, met structureel trainen zul je zien dat die bandbreedte steeds hoger komt te liggen en

Golf watch

I have the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro and my wife has the Garmin Epix Gen 2 and they are both great watches for golf and everyday use. The battery life is also amazing!
