Epix Gen 2

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

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

I have an Epix gen 2 AMOLED and I never worry about the battery, although I went camping recently and used the flashlight a bunch and it quickly killed it.

Fenix 7 has an older HR sensor, no LED flashlight except on 7X, and only has a MIP screen, the AMOLED model was called Epix Gen 2. 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

The light on my Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 (Smartwatch). I use it a lot because it's really no effort to double-press a button on my watch, instead of having to carry or locate one of my other flashlights.

Here is my standard response, typed a while back, with a link to pics showing my point: When sizing a watch don’t turn the Watch toward your face to judge. This rotates the radius bone (thumb side) over the Ulna (pinky side), making the wrist more square and narrow. Instead, look in the mirror with

5 years will probably get some degree of burns-in, but it might still be usable. There are not many reports on Fenix 8 because it is relatively new, but older Garmin watches have plenty of burns-in reports, just go check the epix gen 2 forums. It is a technology issue that will always happen despite

I’m waiting, the 8 processor is so slow and dated. The screen takes longer to turn on than my Epix gen 2 (non pro) does. IMO it’s half baked for what they cost these days. That being said, if I needed a new Garmin right now I would still buy it lol.

This is the really good looking smart-watch, it really resembles a G-Shock. I got an Epix 2 Pro two years ago when moving from Apple Watch - I wanted to keep the 'bright AMOLED screen'. My next one will be either the Instinct 3 Tactical (or 4, 5, 6 as I intend to wear my Epix until it dies). Only do

A lot of people who "hates" AMOLED display does not own a current gen display. I've had original Venu and that display was not the best but my current Epix Gen 2 works mighty fine on both batt life and display brightness/readability even after 3 years with over a thousand activities.
