1100 USD/EUR? 😂😂😂 Garmin you officially lost your mind. Thank you very much

[technogi]

For those prices you need to offer a trade in for previous models. I will be looking at other brands if the prices do not come down.

[BS-zytn]

My god, what are you guys thinking with that price!?

Nothing here is ground breaking innovation, rather copy and paste from other models, put in a Fenix case.

[Olaffen]

Now you have lost your mind with that price! no thanks

[maranr]

Sorry Garmin but not enough for that price. I have a 7S Saphire Solar and the price of this watch combined with the battery life for the small size means that this will be sticking with what I have for the foreseeable future.

[johnoc]

wish the UI would be able to be downloaded to different devices !!

[jbhorner]

Higher price. No cellular. For those that do not dive, incremental hardware update. It's a struggle to find a solid rationale to update from the last generation (or even one before) watches. Very Apple.

[sandrobosio]

The price increase that happened over the years has reached with these watches a ridiculous level. I’d like to upgrade from an Epix (first gen) but I’ll either buy an older model or consider switching brand.

[Robx]

I have had in my life Coros, Polar and Sunnto, but there is nothing like Garmin, above all it climbs the floors perfectly.

[MartinFerenec]

1:23 Are those non-gold plated connectors!? I hope this won't bring the corrosion problem back.

[justinhorst]

Is google assistant full integrated when connected to my Phone?

[adventurearyck]

Garmin hasn’t heard about bidenflation!! 😂

[victorkochkarev]

Looks great! I'll treat myself to it after completing my first marathon. In the meantime, I'll stick with my Fenix 5s.

[mjktechgeek]

I have had a Garnin Fenix Since the 3X 51mm. Why in the world would Garmin require so many button presses to make a call or use the phone's assistant? We have been waiting for cellular capability for years and this is the best they could come up with? And raising the price to astronomical levels?

[timcutbush]

Still no LTE option? Still no ECG Function? Disappointing. And the price!

[scottleggejr]

I have the Fenix 7 pro solar Sapphire and I'm in sunny Arizona and can't tell one bit the solar charging. Is the new charger more effective? I should hope it at a minimum stays level or optimally goes up in battery 🤷‍♂️

[scottleggejr]

Can we get one with inreach so i can drop the handheld from my kit?

[SG_CAD]

I will just wait 2 more years for the prices to come down. I just got the EPIX Gen 2 on sale for $599 CAD and i am more than happy with it. It’s the most expensive watch i ever bought. I can’t imagine spending $1300 CAD on this.

[MrBlubb]

Whether a watch is worth its price is not only a question of features but also service of the nanufacturer. Before spending that much money on an outdoor watch always remember that Garmin makes you buy a refurbished model at a hefty price instead of repairing your watch whenever something is broken - totally unacceptable.

[Davedublin]

hi will the epix pro gen 2 get those new watch faces.
