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

Best Hiking Watch under £350
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

After some thinking, I went Tactical
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

Best Garmin Watch for MTB
Yeah I am a fellow Epix Gen 2 user and very happy with it for MTB, hiking and pool swimming as my main activities. The AMOLED screen is particularly good for clarity I find. My friend has the enduro 2 and he rates it for MTB also.

Fenix 8 amoled vs solar! Trade?
I'm sure I'll get downvoted, but whatever. AMOLED looks so much better! I struggled with this choice too, but after a lot of research and trying on a ton of watches, I could not bring myself to look at MIP every single day. I love the resolution and saturation of AMOLED... MIP looks anemic and washe

"Solar is gimmick on MIP Fenix" 🤣
The AMOLED watches are perfectly visible in sunlight. DCrainmaker has said as much in countless videos of his to point of it not being a valid reason not to get AMOLED. Also they're better now than with the original Epix Gen 2 (which I have incidentally having had an F3, F5 and F6X). The latest micr

Does GPS work better on newer models?
Well after the fenix 7 pro / Epix gen 2 pro the Epix is no more, it has become the Fenix Amoled. Personally I’m happy with the amoled screens, although I use a very minimalistic watchface. I’d recommend a Fenix 8 and if somewhat on a budget a Fenix 7 pro / Epix gen 2 pro. Amoled vs MIP is just about

From Forerunner 955 to Pace
Honestly, having bounced between COROS and Garmin… I suggest looking for Garmin certified refurbs. They look like new and have a full warranty with Garmin.I just picked up an Epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire for $380 USD delivered!Why COROS didn’t work for me: After a a few weeks I found small annoyances t

Dumped the Apple Watch for 265S, I’m in love!
I too dumped my apple watch se and bought an Epix Pro Gen 2. Didn't expect how massive a 51mm watch face would be LOL So I returned it for the 265s and soooo happy with it. IMO small watch faces for small wrists are the way to go!

Have have Epix Pro Gen 2 and see no reason to upgrade. It’s basically the Fenix 7 but with an AMOLED screen. The Fenix 8 just has the speaker/mic and updated UI.
