I upgraded to the 47mm sapphire from Epix Gen 2. The thinner bezels, larger screen, are aesthetically pleasing as is the UI. Navigating by map seems smoother and more responsive when hiking. It’s less bulky and more comfortable to wear especially in bed. The watch face selections are more modern. In general it’s a different watch to use and look at, so I’m pleased with the performance and how good it looks on my wrist. My wife gets the Epix for hiking so not too much scrutiny 🧐 on the price 😂. Actually the larger screen when running is worth a lot to me. The price isn’t a factor. I’m not licking my wounds over it. It’s worth every penny.

Excellent information and thank you for sharing It really helps! I ordered both variants of the Garmin fēnix 8 - 47 mm, Solar, AMOLED, Sapphire. The all black one which I think I'm going to prefer isn't coming till the end of the month at least on Amazon it's backwards directly from Garmin. I also ordered the Garmin QuickFit 22 Heathered Black Nylon and Ultrafit Nylon Armband - flexibel. So we shall see, Garmin's own wristbands seem to be really good quality. 🤞😎
