The maps feature on the epix was the selling point for me. I do a lot of traveling in the mountains and navigation is a must.

I don’t understand why Garmin had to skip something as basic as barometric altimeter from Vivoactive 5. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator usually is the first step people take entering fitness world.

Great video. I like the fact that you touched on the opinion that most people, if wallet allows, choose the biggest toy they can get. I do wish that Garmin didn't have so many watches which can make a person (me) consider something else because there are just too many. I'm a casual user, never had a smart watch before so its been difficult to make a decision. I'm in KY and stores (BB) around here just don't have these watches on display. You have to order one to see what it looks like, the weight, etc. so frustrating. I was going to get the VivoMove until I saw many reviews that mentioned you can't see the watch face when outside (glare) and sometimes not inside Boo. Now I'm thinking about the Vivoactive 5 that has pretty good reviews across the board. Garmin does have cheaper models than the Vivoactive 5 too. Thanks again for a simple, straight forward review.

Last week Walmart and Amazon had a crazy sale for the Epix Pro 2 42mm, for $300. Not sure if it was a price mistake or what, but so happy I grabbed one,

Great video! Wonder what that Cool screen thing you have that show a course and pace😮?

Love Garmin and my 7x pro. The new elevate 5 has been fantastic for me. I wear nylon straps and it stays in place perfectly. The cheaper Garmins are awesome tho! Love the channel!

Pretty good video and I'm not trying to be rude but I feel like you skipped over a lot of the main things separating the EPIX from the Vivoactive, like the maps, battery life, all the running dynamics and activity profiles. I will say though that I've never worn either watch (and my Fenix 5+ doesn't have a whole lot even compared to the Vivo) and maybe most of the things that I see in spec sheets and individual reviews aren't that prominent in real life wear. It may also be that you only talked about the prominent things you use often instead of the "Hey look at this cool thing" type features.

Thanks for the video. But what about jump rope? Do they have this type of activity?

[portisrulz]

You actually did do 11 rows, not 10. The vivoactive5 was correct.

Great video. I appreciate your honesty about most people’s needs, including yours. I actually had purchased the Epix Gen 2 Pro (47mm) and test drove it for about 2 months until I realized that I wasn’t scaling mountains or backpacking in the wilderness for days on end.

I eventually returned to my Apple Watch Ultra because I’m both a father with a family and a on-call nurse who finds more value in the cellular availability to take and send messages when I’m on the go and my phone isn’t near me. Plus I hate long runs with a phone, as I believe you have also stated 😂

To each their own. Find what works for you. For me the Ultra and App Store have sufficed in filling in the gaps.

I've found that the smaller Garmins are more accurate because they're lighter and stay stationary on the wrist better. When running, my Fenix 7 47mm bounces around everywhere, while my Forerunner 55 is so small and light it doesn't move. The data is always more accurate on the smaller watch.

Good video..but you only touched on gym workouts and run workouts. I would bet there are some major differences in connectivity to run and bike power meters and recording swim workouts. Did you get a chance to look into these at all? I would be curious to know as I don't have the available resources to do the testing myself. The recording of other workouts might be some of the biggest differences

[UnseenHero]

Watched the video, really liked the rep counter. Btw for rows you did 11 (from what i counted)

[yenk]

Nice video, I have a Garmin 55 which it has a V3 sensor, it would be nice to have a comparison video where I can see how better the V4 and V5 sensors are (V5 is on the Epix Pro)

[amircastilla]

Thank you for the video. I have a fenix 7x but what sold me on it was the stamina feature and the look of the watch. A feature I thought was cool was the flash light and I do use this for night running. It works for me because I told myself I have a tough watch now I need to kill the battery but I also had the vivoactive 4 and it was almost as good but not for mu use as sweat made it unusable for running when I wanted to use the touch screen.

I switched from fit bit to Epix pro 2 sapphire specifically because it had a flashlight which has come in more handy then i could have ever dreamt. I also really like the aesthetic. I got the mid sized one and it looks and feels amazing, like a proper adult watch. And yah when friends and family ask about my watch there is something that just feels good to say you are wearing a $1k watch, reminds me of how hard I worked to get to where I am, I may not be rich but I am also not dirt poor anymore.

I got Venu 3 with new heart rate sensor. It’s great watch! 8-10 days without AOD!

[saikame]

I'm thinking of getting the Fenix 7S. I'm starting to run again but I also travel a lot for business. I want a watch that looks premium for business but also has all the fitness features. The 7S with the solar charging, just looks good.

What's the cheapest best GPS smart watch that offers offline maps for when you're hiking outside cell service?
