Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2), 51 mm, Glass, Slate Grey, Black

Product Information

It places the Epix Pro just below what you can expect from the Forerunner 965, which is a little disappointing considering the price difference and similarity in what's on offer, but we still rate it as having a very solid battery life. It's available in four cosmic-themed colors that, along with swapping numbers for watch hands, will also elegantly display the date and battery life status. It keeps things simple, but that's quite alright with us. Garmin's more niche watches, like ones from the Approach, Marq, Enduro and Descent lines, are almost always supported by developers, too.

If you miss a notification and want to retrieve it, you have to once again grapple with another menu. This time you swipe up on the screen to show Glances, Garmin’s interpretation of Wear OS’s Tiles. Glances aren’t quite as intuitive or fast as a watchOS or Wear OS’s systems and are really tiny snippets leading to more detail after a tap. Data shown in Glances includes step count, Garmin’s excellent Body Battery stat, weather data, heart rate, and more stats related to specific activities. Ever size the Apple Watch Ultra announcement, where the Cupertino-based brand clarified the 36-hour battery life of the Ultra, Garmin never misses an opportunity to say they "measure battery life in days, not hours."As we've mentioned in other sections, we wouldn't necessarily consider these reasons to upgrade, because it's very likely they get added to the Epix 2 in a software update soon, but they exist nonetheless. In this article, you will find everything you need to know about the upcoming Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Series and Epix Pro (Gen2) smartwatches. The Garmin Epix Pro is not here to kill the Fenix 7 Pro but to live alongside it as an AMOLED option, offering an alternative to people who might choose the Apple Watch Ultra because of its pretty display. There is no need; Garmin has an option for you with the same screen but longer battery life, better performance features, improved bio-sensor and more. All three sizes now have a flashlight/torch (previously only the Fenix 7X, Enduro 2, Tactix 7, and Instinct 2X had it) Maybe it is a display size bump to match the f965 at the 47mm size? That might imply 1.3” with the 42mm and 1.5” with the 51mm.

I was an AW owner for 2 years (until the battery died) between owning Garmin Fenix watches “all my life” and during that time I was missing most of the features of a Garmin Fenix. Mostly the recovery metrics and the load metrics. Because I really use that to shape my weekly training.From a features point of view, the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro and the Epix Pro are identical. They have all the health, wellness, performance and smart features of the watches they succeed, and then some.
