I have this and the Fenix 6 Solar Titanium and I love both of them. Just great watches. My Epix 2 is white and it looks stunning in real life, glad I chose that colour 👍

[@gschock201]

Love the enthusiasm that you put in your videos, especially when it comes to Garmin smartwatches. Besides getting a lot of useful information by watching your videos, it really makes your reviews something special compared to other influencers. So, thank you and keep up the great work. 💪❤️

[@TheJabberTech]

Really appreciate it !

[@EricVinton]

Protip on the charging, charge it in the car on the way to your activity.

[@shadow7423]

I have been wanting the Epix Pro 2 for quite some time now. I just got mine yesterday and it is what I expected. I love it. I had the Fenix 6X and the main reason I got the Epix Pro 2 is the screen. I have the Apple Watch Ultra and I get 2 to 2.5 days before I have to charge it. I know the Fenix definitely have better battery life but I prefer the AMOLED screen on the Epix Pro 2 any day of the week. I’m definitely putting the Apple Watch Ultra in the box and just use the Epix. Great review! Thank you.

[@TheJabberTech]

Appreciate it!

[@davidbell4949]

Still trying g to decide on this versus Apple Watch ultra. Current offer for this Garmin is £595 which seems such amazing value

[@theexpatgunner]

That’s interesting I had the Epix 2 for a week but decided to go with the Tactix 7 Pro in the end.

[@WristWatcher]

Epix screen is so much more enjoyable though

[@yogeshchandthakur]

The only drawback in garmin watches are is the find me function like ios. I wish they had one, cos i would have found my lost watch. 😔 Nevertheless i am rearing to go with my new epix gen2 sapphire

[@stevephla]

If only it had a flashlight and a little more stamina, I'd be all over it. Beautiful screen. But it's Enduro 2 for me. No battery anxiety.

Nice job. And thanks for not polluting the content with the distracting "music" we see so often. When I'm trying to get information, the last thing I need is garbage audio going on in the background. I'm not trying to "boogey down", I want to learn something.

[@TheJabberTech]

[@youllfloat2pennywise344]

what does the charging cable supposed to look like? One end of mine has a type C port instead of a USB.

[@petercollins8649]

Does it work as a standalone watch with full functionality eg alarms weather calendar

[@erikshirkey1124]

do you think its worth getting the PRO?

[@wonpelao]

I really love the looks of the Epix Gen2. That being said, I'll wait until they include the posibility to recieve and make phone calls from your watch, hopefully in Gen3. :)

I’ve got an Epix 2 Sapphire that’s an unused new-recertified model from Garmin for only $500 if you’re still looking for one!

[@frodeberg6027]

Hey! Nice grey looking Quickfit band. Is that the slate grey color? Debating between that one and the Dark sandstone. Thanks in advance!

[@TheJabberTech]

believe slate grey

[@charleslawie5847]

Does the Garmin software have a paywall for any features like Fitbit where you get some of the features, then a premium subscription ("paywall") to use the premium features?

[@TheJabberTech]

No

[@DWS444]

2 questions ... what watch band is that? what phone case is that?

[@jorgeeltoritoperez7238]

How about enduro 2 solar sapphire better battery life and super flashlight light ., I have that but I’m thinking to buy epix 2 because the screen is better

[@tomaho80]

Hi, what about Always On and Gesture Off using (f.e. 50% brightness)? Does it mean, display always on without going dark similar as standard fenix configuration? Any experience with battery usage with this configuration? Thanks!

[@outdoorcinema7]

My Epix2 last me for 24 days in smart watch mode without heart rate sensor and in gesture on mode.

[@KidtipsyEthn]

Not sure if you still have the Venu 2 plus. If you do I would love to know if you record a workout on the Venu does it update the training load and other data on the epix 2

[@TheJabberTech]

Hey man. I still have and use it. I don't believe that info crosses over btwn devices ..from what I can tell it's info gathered from the watch itself and depending on which watch is connected, you get the relevant info...i will test my theory

[@30mattdavies]

No it’s per watch

[@sebasotz]

Hello. I read that if you keep always on display, in the future it could burn the amoled screen, creating burning in zones. Do you think it will happen in this watch too?

[@TheJabberTech]

Impossible to know right now

[@thewildman4300]

Love the EPIX but cant get over not having the flashlight on my T7Pro. Oled is nice but not worth the premium over what you'd get with a regular fenix 7

[@30mattdavies]

OLED is a game changer for maps.

[@officialyasir]

If I'm remembering correctly, DC rainmaker showed the Epix 2 had more map details because of the OLED screen

[@30mattdavies]

@@officialyasir yep I’ve had both and night and day difference on the epix vs fenix

Hi. Could you please write what exactly is the color of the strip?

is it possible to see calories automatic tracking? so you dont have to start an "activity" to show burnt cals?

Yes. It shoes daily calorie count

Great review! I have Epix 2 and I will buy gen 3 when it comes. Excellent watch!

[@TheJabberTech]

Appreciate it!

[@villasikten]

When do you think the gen3 will come?

[@Marian1st.]

Instinct 2X is the way to go.

[@georgevadnais3516]

You spore quickly about the samsung galaxy. I have one and i have a Garmin forunner 965. The samsung is nice, but even with a 2000 nits amoled display, the 1000 nits of my forerunner is easyer to see in direct sunlight.

[@TheJabberTech]

Can't comment on what I don't have. This is comparing the epix not the forerunner

[@sethpino2963]

Best watch I’ve ever owned!

[@bonn1771]

Great review are you still using it?

[@TheJabberTech]

Not anymore

[@codytentis9909]

When’s the 3rd gen of epix coming out would ya guess?

[@TheJabberTech]

Probably in a year

[@donniedarko86]

What’s the longevity of these watches? Like when would this be considered “out dated” & needing an upgrade? Seems like a lot to shell out if it’s croaking within 5 years.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

i think ill wait for 3rd gen, many rumors point that garmin making new amoled screen with solar power panel inside soon, also smaller version for smaller wrists would be nice, like 41 43 mm, and flahslight features must be added in next gen, that would make this watch perfection

[@rodneyg9218]

At how much more price tag though? Normally they add "more features " just to justify increasing the price

[@thundergato84]

I'll wait for the 3rd generation as well.

[@TomJoyce]

The problem is that is probably 2024. Hopefully not 2025. I would like solar but it doesn’t matter much because these things charge so fast plugged in. Also from a feature standpoint Garmin adds little version to version and the software is 99% the same. I had Fenix 5 and have Fenix 6 Pro and there is little real difference.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

@@TomJoyce fenix is 6th 7th gen now, i understand why it gets to little improvement, cause its polished and now limited to its hardware. for epix its just 2nd gen, only this year it got amoled, and garmin rumors say soon they will have amoled + solar panel , also some new sensors. i have time so ill wait, but i bet even now both fenix and epix are absolute beasts

[@jepark7751]

I wouldn’t hold out for Solar on this. AMOLED drains so much faster than MIP. Even on the MIP it doesn’t recharge so much as it slows down the battery burn. On an AMOLED screen it wouldn’t nearly as effective.

[@sammaizy1239]

does this have the amoled

For an Android user I regretted buying this watch as without and unable to download Garmin Express I can't change my watch faces or transfer music files.With a watch of this high price why do Garmin need us to go through the tedious process of using Windows or Mac to get Garmin Express knowing full well that half the world used Android. I hope Garmin can update their systems to be more user friendly to those on Android.

[@matanmendelbaum]

I bought this one as my sixth Garmin. Unfortunately the product quality is super low. The heart rate fails ( during a daily routine, not even during exercise ). In addition the hardware is defected and not robust. On top of all, the service is not there when you need it. Bottom line, 2 out of 10…

[@TheJabberTech]

Sounds like a defective unit .send it back. You should know how good Garmin is if you had 6 already and u must like their products

[@dimi-88]

Only Apple Watch ultra my friend.

[@profgyland2]

Garmin has the worst and most user unfriendly software I have ever seen in any of the smartwatches I used in the market. It is confusing and often does not work at all. I have a garmin epix (gen 2), carbon gray dlc titanium with black band, premium active and I will send it back for a refund. It will not find my Telstra WiFi 5G broadband connection my other WiFi items including other brands find with ease. Garmin, this is a useless piece of product that is not only overpriced but also user unfriendly. Do not purchase such an outdated unsmart-watch.
