Epix Gen 2

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

You can get the 47mm Garmin Epix Gen Pro 2 for £370. It's great value. https://www.hsamuel.co.uk/garmin-epix-pro-gen-2-mens-47mm-black-strap-smartwatch/p/V-8667982?cm_mmc=SEM_Google:HS%7C%7CShopping%7C%7CBrand%7C%7CBrand%20Inclusion::8667982&_$ja=acid:628-777-7884%7Ccid:21803093916%7Cagid:%7Ctid:%7Ccr

As much as I loved my Fenix 6 and epix 2, I can't stomach spending over a grand on a watch I'm going to upgrade in a couple years anyway. The venu 4 price was much better and I will feel less bad when I get my next watch. That being said I kept my epix pro gen 2 just in case I ever go on long hikes

The £1700 cost of the microLED Fenix 8 Pro reminds me how great I deal I got with my Epix Gen 2 Pro Sapphire for £400!

That interesting because I’d imagine most people buying this watch would opt towards MIP. $1,400 for the MIP — just crazy pricing on these new Garmin models (Fenix and Tactix). After seeing how my Epix Gen 2 was treated, I’ll never be spending this kind of money on a watch from Garmin again. They se

I went with the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire 51mm! with some Amazon points I had left over the watch was $399! I don't think I can go wrong at that price point.

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.

Fenix 7/Epix Pro already abandoned with just a little more than a year. Then you have the Fenix E, which is just an Epix Gen 2 with the new UI/features, priced as a new flagship device. Garmin is really mocking their users in a very badly way. I understand than it's just a company wanting to make mo

Important: only watches from Amazfit, as of today, that are worth anything are T-Rex 3 and Active 2, the other watches have very bad HR sensors. For Garmin, I would prefer the Fenix 7 Pro, Epix Pro Gen 2, or Fenix 8, Enduro 3, as they have the flashlight and Elevate V5 (latest HR sensor from Garmin)

Lol, it doesn't have new sensor and costs double than Instinct 2. Not worth it. for that price I bought Epix gen 2
