Excelent Gamin To Triathlon !!

i love this epix Excelent gamin to Triathlon and run or swim!!

Well Put Together Watch. Lots Of Features.

I've had the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire refurbished for about 2 weeks now, and it hasn't left my wrist. The sad thing is that a lot of the new software available for many other models, including the Epix Pro, is unavailable for the Gen2 Sapphire. Being a thousand-dollar watch only 3 years ago is somewhat sketchy on Garmin's part. I paid only 400 for this refurbished model, but if I had purchased this new 3 years ago, I would be much more irritated. All and all seems to be worth the 400 I spent, but if I had to do it again, I would have looked for a good deal on the Epix pro.

Style Meets Sweat

Snagged the Garmin Epix for a steal, and I’m loving it. Looks awesome, feels solid, and keeps up with all my home workouts — from push-ups to chasing the kids mid-set. Tracks everything, battery lasts forever, and it makes me feel like a pro even when I’m just lifting in the garage. Dad-approved and worth every penny.

Happy Overall

I decided to replace my previous watch with something more fitness oriented. So far, I am happy with the features, my only complaint is how easily the metal surrounding the face scratches - for something this expensive, I expected better materials. I've only been using it a month and the number of scratches is disappointing. This is just from normal wear and tear; I'm not doing any activities that would directly cause this. If I had to pick my favorite thing about it, it would be the battery and how quickly it recharges. 17 hours of battery life is phenomenal and within an hour, it can be fully charged. The interface is a bit clunky to get used to, trying to remember the functions of the 5 buttons and what they do in each mode takes time. But the information it provides when you figure it all out is great. I would give it 5 stars if it would not scratch so easily.

Almost There

This is overall a great watch, but it’s missing a few features that I feel like it should have at this price point. The main two are having a real flashlight, and having the microphone functionality. It appears to have the microphone, it just doesn’t do anything. Otherwise it’s a fantastic watch. The battery life is the best I’ve ever had to where I tend to only need to charge it about once a week if I’m doing a handful of activities. The GPS tracking has been really consistent, and many of the health metrics have been really good. I also wear an Oura ring, which is very accurate on things like sleep, duration, quality, and HRV. I do find that the Garman slightly overestimates your sleep, compared to the ring, but the HRV is dead on, which is a very helpful metric. Like all fitness tracker watches, I don’t rely on the wrist based heart monitor, and instead use an external strap, which pairs nicely.
