Thank you All

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Thank you all for watching. Be sure to check out the Garmin Epix Gen 2 watches and all of their other gear, it’s amazing!!

[@jamiebg3952]

if you set a hotkey to "Change Sport" you can record your whole workout as one activity i.e. "treadmill run" - change sport and select "Strength" - then change sport hotkey and then select "Treadmill run" for your cool down. You will get one activity post save - and you get the ability to see the data for both tracked activities.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

That’s awesome Jamie, thank you mate. Will do that in the morning 😁

[@FengWilliam]

I've had this watch for a bit and it really is the best. If you haven't already, you should ask Garmin to send you their CT-10 club sensors to use with it. They'll keep track of your club distances and you won't have to specify which club you used after each stroke.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

That’s a great idea mate, thank you and I may do that 😊

[@twoglovesgolf66]

Great video! I recently bought the Z82, but now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the Epix 2. What do you recommend for a golf-only product out of the two?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Hard to say as I use both but I love the watch for its health and fitness outside of golf also

[@GavHamer]

I am definitely getting one of these! I've been on the Fenix 5 for a few years - time for an upgrade. 👍

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

You won’t be disappointed, these are incredible 😁

[@PhoebeJay]

AMAZING!! Congrats, well deserved baby!! 💛💛 also loved your edit for this video! 🥰

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Thank you smooch 😘 couldn’t do any of it without you

[@sfkid57]

I just got the epic gen 2 watch and i just don't understand how to use it. this is my forth watch form Garmin, they get more compilated each up grade, this is the most complicated one yet. have not found a video on all the basic?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Hey Rob, what part are you looking to use? Happy to help out

[@PartyPete199]

Was going to get the S70 but the Gen 2 Sapphire came on sale (new) at £549 . With all that it offers in addition to the S70 it was a no brainier . Great video and good luck with Garmin

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Both are fantastic watches 😁

[@Khaladas]

I was looking at the new S 70 updates that show the players like distance, factoring in wind, barometric, pressure and elevation, do you know if those updates are going to roll out to the Epix ?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Not 100% sure but I have the s70 coming so will be great to compare

[@edwin68aguilar]

Do you have to turn on the auto shot? I’ve turned on scoring, data tracking, and everything else I can think of but it won’t track my shot distance until I tell I click “measure shot” - I keep reading “auto shot” should be tracking distance but no luck! Thanks for the content! Just saw CT10 and came here. Just subscribed. Loved the videos!

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Thank you. The CT10 sensors will automatically track the shot but if you don’t have the sensors then you will need to select which club you hit each shit with and it should track them 😁

[@bougie_kenny]

Hey David, great video.. Congratulations on the Garmin partnership. I would get this if I wasn’t heavily invested in the Apple and Peloton ecosystems. Love the functionality of the watch on course. Looks like it would solve the issues that the Arccos has as the Garmin didn’t seem to miss shots. Lastly, chunky people like me are offended when people like you say you’re out of shape. LOL. Quick question, what type of camera are you using for your videos and had you ever thought about using your iPhone at all for that? Thanks and fitness is a great add to the channel. We all need to get up off our butts and move around.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Hey Kenny, thanks for the comment 😊 and don’t worry there’s not a great level of cardio fitness in me right now haha 😂 but the journey has now started. I too was invested in Apple but all of the Garmin health data syncs with the iPhone anyway also it’s a win win 😊

[@JohanNordlund]

You should be able to turn on auto tracking of your shots. Then the watch will ask after every swing which club and measure the length without explicitly doing it. That way it learns your lengths with each clib as well. Of course biased by mishits and wind, buts it's really nice to see the stats and I love the way you can walk through every shot after the round. /Fenix 6 owner that couldn't be more pleased with a watch. Caters to everything, golf, kiteboarding, running, snowboarding, hiking... Just awesome! 😀

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Oh yes sorry, the auto tracking was on. I just meant that in the moment if you wanted to see how far a shot went you can 😊 it was prompting me each shot

[@JohanNordlund]

@@davidmaxfieldgolf ah, thought it looked so since you had clubs registered for every shot 😀 and forgot to thank you very much for your content! It's greatly appreciated and a big reasons why I ended up buying the R10 (and will buy awesome golf as soon as my trial runs out).

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@JohanNordlund thank you mate, glad you like it 😊

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Does it have the caddie and shot suggestion function?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Yes definitely

[@eonicks]

Congratulations on your ambassadorship!

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Thank you mate 😊

[@GOLFADDICT65]

question for you I am having a hard time choosing either the s70 or the Epix Gen 2......can get the s70 for 949.00 ( Canadian ) 717.00 ( US ) or the EPIX GEN 2 for ( 1077 .00 Canadian ) ( 784.00 US )............i am an avid golfer but i want an every day all around great watch ( health tracking , fitness tracking , golf tracking and great bells and whistles ) which do you think would be the best all around watch for me ? thx a bunch....cheers from Canada

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Thanks mate, just replied on your other comment but I have just received the s70 and will have that exact comparison coming very soon

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Waterproof down to how deep? Can be used for diving? As well as golf?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

I wouldn’t say it’s a dive watch but it does very well not 100% sure how deep

[@gregclark2509]

Awesome watch. Might have to replace my s62 now haha. Your clubs look a little short for you?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Yeah the watch is amazing! And yeah I run standard length clubs. Just strike the ball better and seems to work better for my swing

[@craigbouwer01]

Hi David, Have you tried gspro with your garmin?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

I haven’t as even though it works, when I talked to gspro it’s not an approved software as yet for the unit

[@williamkterrell]

Excellent work out with examples how Epix works with you.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Fantastic watch 😁

[@Matthew-qw1jg]

You mentioned the Fenix line, how did you settle on the Epix over the Fenix?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Better screen that pops a lot more 😊 I’m not 100% sure if they have the same golf functions but the Epix has so much golf stuff as well fitness

[@Matthew-qw1jg]

@@davidmaxfieldgolf Awesome, appreciate that! Great stuff as usual!

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@Matthew-qw1jg Thanks mate 😊

[@125phr]

Looks like a great watch ….! Love the s62 not sure ready for upgrade …….yet ! 🍻

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

S62 is fantastic as a golf watch that’s for sure. I just wanted all of my fitness and sleep data in the same place too, that’s where this as an all in one is awesome

[@125phr]

@@davidmaxfieldgolf Yeah some of those features look really good …👌🏼. Even at 58 still need to keep fit but maybe not as enthusiastic as few years ago …..! 🤨 🏃🏽‍♂️⛳️🏋🏽‍♀️

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@125phr integrates into your Apple health data too if you’re an iPhone user

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Does it do swimming? Laps? Distance?

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Yep 100%

[@tonebassin2571]

Dude I have had the samsun gear from the s1 to ow the s3 for past 4 years. I havr been lolkong for an upgrade. For golf everyday use amd workong out. This is perfect timing. This looks like it has everything I am looking for sweet. Thabk you

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Sounds like exactly what I was looking for. This would be perfect for you 😁

[@JorgeMorales-do5pr]

Great review David.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Thank you Jorge 😊

[@chrisdixon2843]

Just bought it based on this, was waiting for the Marq to be renewed but didn’t see why with how good this looks 👍

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

You’ll love it Chris, let me know your thoughts after you’ve used it 😊

[@chrisdixon2843]

@@davidmaxfieldgolf love it! Only one criticism…the strap that comes with it isn’t great but switched out to a nylon strap and don’t even notice it on the wrist, amazing watch.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@chrisdixon2843 yeah I like the rubber one. Think I got used to those with the Apple Watch just because of when I sweat

[@chrisdixon2843]

@@davidmaxfieldgolf honestly, try the nylon…you’ll never look back 😀

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@chrisdixon2843 will have to give it a go

[@nbargolf]

Great watch but a bit pricey at around $999

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

I think for what it offers being an all in one that keeps all of your golf and fitness stats that it’s pretty well priced 😊 so hard to find one watch that can do it all like this one.

[@nopressuregolf]

$1500 in aus I wanted onr

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

@@nopressuregolf do it 😁

[@umhahahaha8112]

Good Review video. I was gona buy S62.. but Im going for Epic.. thx for review.
