Garmin010-02582-10 epix Gen 2, Premium active smartwatch, Health and wellness features, touchscreen AMOLED display, adventure watch with advanced features, black titanium

My first Garmin watch and I love it. I have been using Samsung smart watches and this is a huge upgrade. I have had the watch about a month.The battery life is over the top. I had a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and got about 2 days of use between charges. On my first two charges I got about 12 days of battery life per charge. This is with Always On Display off and wrist gesture on. This time of year my exercise is mainly walking/hiking. In the 12 day periods I averaged 17 miles which was about 5.7 hours of GPS time per charge. Battery life is my single most favorite part of this watch. I can't tell you how nice it is not to worry about charging the watch frequently. After a month it would be very difficult to go back to a watch which has to be charged frequently.Other things I like about the watch include:- For the size, this watch is very light. Significantly lighter than my Galaxy 4 Classic.- Screen is awesome. High res and very bright. No issues in sunlight.- Sapphire crystal.- Plenty of memory. Even with the all the maps preloaded 15.6 gb is available.- Maps are preloaded and include topo. Maps are very usable with high res screen.- The amount of detailed information you can get on the watch relating to exercise is amazing.- The phone app is great and you can get even more detailed information relating to your exercise.- The widgets on the watch are very helpful and detailed. With the GW4 I had to go to phone to get details.- Crazy amount of sport modes (which I will only use a fraction of).- Heart rate monitor is very accurate.- GPS is also very accurate and multi band really helps in hard to cover areas.- Routing and navigation features with maps are fantastic.There is not much I dislike about the watch besides the price. After a month of using it, the price does not bother me as much :) I do wish it had better lossless music file support. I have much of my music in FLAC format.

I was a longtime Apple Watch wearer who switched to Garmin. I love the fitness tracking data and robust variety of activity options that Garmin will track. The epix 2 is a great watch. The screen is bright and easy to see. The watch face is large and provides a rugged, yet sophisticated appearance. The battery life is amazing (typically at least a week, depending on GPS use). If you are looking for a smart watch that you can text from, or use lots of apps, stick with Apple, it’s better for that. However, if you want a robust fitness tracking watch that looks sweet, this is a great option!

Very high quality device. Great battery life. Everything is customizable right down to every little window in my picture. Each little circle can be changed. It is a bigger watch but it is hard to get this much into a smaller device. Plus, for the maps and display, you want it a bit bigger.Only complaint is the price. It is just a bit expensive but watch for sales. It is not so bad on sale. Still a great quality device. I would buy it again.I found a second complaint. When running on a treadmill, it would sometimes stop tracking distance. If I ran 5 miles, it would record 2.6 miles. It just stops sometimes. Not always. Probably 1 of 5 times. For that, it lost a star. REVISED: USER ERROR. THERE IS A TREADMILL OPTION. I FOUND IT LATER. ADDING THE STAR BACK TO THE REVIEW.I had purchased another Garmin watch, Instinct 2 Solar,with the same features but I had difficulty reading the display without reading glasses. That's a great watch too just not as easy on the eyes. This is much much better. I can at least see it although, still is better with my glasses. The display is gorgeous. The picture makes it appear to have depth. It doesn't appear quite as 3D as the picture shows but still is a gorgeous display. Everything you see on the face is customizable. Including choosing different colors, displays, etc... just a very cool watch.

I love this watch! It is perfect for what I want, a bit more than I want. But the maps while hiking is very nice. The screen is super durable. The screen automatically turns off touch in the pool. I wish Garmin would update their stroke recognition for sleeping, but other than that. I love it. It is big. But you get used to it.
