Garmin EPIX PRO || 7 Reasons why it’s awesome!

It’s really hard to compete with a device like this. With many others, you are getting a lot of what makes this a fantastic piece of hardwear, but you miss the mark on some key areas. Mapping alone is worth the premium for many users. As of this upload date, they are on sale (at least in Canada and the US) which is a bonus. 👍

Thanks for watching, appreciate all of your support.

Love the way you did the 7 key points that you like. DC Rainmaker and the boys have the spec thing down. Need more personal feedback like yours. Thank you

100% agree. Recently switched from the Fenix 7X Solar to the Epix Pro just because of the display. In very bright sunlight, the MIP is superior to the Amoled, but it seems to me that the battery lasts even longer on the Epix than on the Fenix 7X Solar(!)

Great video and super helpful with my decision making process on possibly pulling the trigger on my first Garmin. You deserve much more views and subscribers. Wishing you much success!

Awesome! Picked one up today at REI on sale. This review solidified my purchase. Thanks for the video. Well done!

I have this but in the 47 mm and I love it! I am a woman with small wrist and bad 50 year old eyes. The 42 mm was too small for my eyes and the 51 mm was too big for my wrist. The 47 mm was perfect. I have been running since I was 14 and didn’t buy my first gps watch until I was 40. This has been my favorite. I do have the Suunto Race and Vertical. Like them but the Garmin is just easier to use. Had the Apple Watch Ultra and that was a joke for battery life. I tried the Coros watches but the gps accuracy was not impressive and pace was laggy. Great review!

Thank you for this candid review. I’d been agonizing over whether or not to switch from my Apple Ultra 2 back yo the Garmin ecosystem, knowing that if I did I’d probably want the Epix, Fenix 7X or Epix Pro. I researched an awful lot but it wasn’t until I watched your video that I finally pulled the trigger. So many others compare and contrast it with other watches but never really say “this is why I love it the best.” Thank you for helping me finally make a confident decision!

I really do love my 51mm Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2, I got it on sale last Christmas.

[CareHealthOsteopathy]

Took my epic pro 51mm to the Kilimanjaro and I had all my stats. Charged the battery once before and it was amazing! And yes mapping!! Hell yeah!! And thanks for the cool video!

[VernL]

Yep, I would totally agree with your list. Very well done!

[bigmaxcc]

Everything I agree. 1 advice to buyers don’t buy full price cause garmin has this habit releasing watches every 6 months get a bargain or lower price trust me save a few extra bucks or hundreds is a necessity 🙌

Trust me you won’t regret it 😄✅

Great review! I am waiting for this to go on sale vs getting the Fenix 8 (not many overly positive reviews). The Epix Pro Gen2 has great reviews!

AW to Garmin to AWU to now back to Garmin. I have the Epix Gen 2 and I love it. I want the Epix Pro in white - 51mm! I love big chunky watches! I had the AWU and was always looking for a third party app to give me all of the data Garmin provides. Garmin has it all in one app! You can view texts messages on your watch just not reply, and Tbh, I never used my AWU to text. Always had my phone with me to do so. Both watches are great, it all depends on your preference!

Ended up scoring the standard 51mm for $649.99. I originally had a fenix 6x pro then upgraded to the non-pro EPIX last year. Didnt like the smaller 47mm size, so I gifted it to my mother. This is by far the best watch ive ever owned. Think im good for another 3-4 years 😁

[johnkluck]

I didn't buy this watch because of the flashlight, but I don't think I can ever own a watch without one now. One of my favorite features.

[SquashPile]

Love mine. I had a 47mm Epix 2 and sold it on Swappa and bought the Pro when it released. The 47 was just too small for my wrist too. No regrets. I use the HRM Pro+ strap too. I think I use the flashlight several times a day now that I think about it.

[hawaiifranke]

I totally agree, regards from Bavaria.

[offdagrid]

Love my 51mm Epix pro, built like a tank niiiice ❤

[Davedublin]

I love mine. I have always on display always on.
I charge watch every Saturday morning but it still says 6 more days left. Nuts!!
I did really like my ultra but Apple need to up there game.

Nice! I have a lowly Vivoactive and I find that the temp info is quite annoying in that it never seems to work. Aside from that I like it.

[jaredb]

Nice review. Totally agree with the torch thing... seemed like a novelty, yet I've used it multiple times in the week since I got this for my birthday 😄 I also have the 51mm... mainly due to my eyesight finding the 47mm one too difficult to read without glasses.
