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

Product Information

On the left, you'll get the time and date. All in all, it's a nice alternative to the way other faces on the Connect IQ Store deal with all of those metrics. Garmin’s move to add AMOLED screens to its watches has seen the battery life suffer, but it’s not suffered as badly as many may have anticipated. It managed to successfully add in more power-hungry display technology, and still offer strong battery performance with or without that screen set to always-on. Generally speaking, though, we've found you'll get around 5-6 days of decent use with the Epix Pro's always-on display turned on, with the option to extend that to around 14-16 days if you turn it off. This means the series is now aligned with the Fenix 7 and Fenix 7 Pro watches, with a much broader array of users able to find the right fit for their wrist.

Sensors: accelerometer; gyroscope; compass; pedometer; ambient light sensor; heart rate sensor; calories burned; temperature sensor; altimeter Also remember that the recent Forerunner 965 featured a 454x454px display size in the medium-sized case. I’m not sure of the correctness of the leaked specs but it would be reasonable to hope that Epix 2 Pro crams a larger physical display into each of the 3 ‘standard’ case sizes and that will be a big deal for the biggest-sized Epix 2 Pro. Epix 2 Shown There is a widget version, too, but, if your Garmin doesn't support widgets and does let you add watch faces, this is a useful one to have for your morning weekend runouts.The latter is simply a new way of Garmin gauging how easy (or hard) you find it to run uphill, while Endurance Score is a measure of how easy (or, again, hard) you find it to sustain prolonged efforts. A: Yes, Epix PRO is waterproof to 100m but is not sold as a dive watch, so the high rating covers waterproofing against high impacts on the water. This is really the same for all the core metrics as well, such as steps or sleep. You can see here the widget glance view, and then more detailed views within it.

This weather-centric face looks great on the Fenix series and the Garmin Enduro, pulling in current conditions from openweather.org. While the sensors are outstanding the calculations done are abysmal depending on what you do. Normal running is fine. Even some speed work. But once you get into the terrain of intense HIIT or sports with a lot of fast switches between short but high to extreme load followed by relaxation the metrics start to be off so much that training data is unusable for me most of the time. Take for example calories. Here the AW would be off by 2-4x what the Garmin shows on such high intensity training. I know that at least for me the Garmin metrics is the more correct one because I try to eat all my calories every day. And my weight is pretty constant with the Garmin while with the AW I would gain weight fast. And not from muscle. All that’s really new here are the two new sizes of Epix PRO plus the new heart rate sensor and a few tweaks. There are some wholly new software features but these will also get added to older Fenix 7 and Epix 2 models so there is zero reason to upgrade from one of those watches. If you've seen the Nike watch face you can find on the Nike+ edition of the Apple Watch, then DigiSport will feel familiar. We haven't had much need for this light during summer training sessions, given the minimal low light hours, but we really feel like this would come into its own during the winter runs.

Garmin Epix PRO – Frequently Asked Questions

Next is Endurance scores and it’s a pretty self explanatory one. This is a score that wants to give you a number to indicate just how well tuned you are to maintain effort over long periods. VO2 Max is generally the barometer for this, and Garmin uses that metric and then looks at your workout history both short term and long term (3 months) to understand if you’re building a good endurance base. If they include EKG and wireless charging on top of a larger 1.5″ AMOLED screen along with a flashlight, I suppose they can substantiate this as a more premium modern version of Fenix. Whether this is worth it for you, then, entirely depends on whether you believe the differences we'll outline below are worth it.

You'll need to give it access to GPS location and sensors if you want to pull in information like weather, heart rate, and elevation. As you may be aware, Garmin is preparing to launch new “Pro” editions of the smart watches Fenix 7 Series and Epix Pro (Gen2). Anyways, the debate will continue to rage among HRV geeks as to which way is ‘best’, but for 99% of people, having a watch simply do it behind the scenes is going to produce more consistent and actionable results (no matter the brand).

This is roughly the kind of burn we saw from the standard Epix 2, and we should also note that the flashlight will see this estimation drop dramatically, too. The Epix Pro comes in three sizes, has an AMOLED display and is designed to be worn 24 hours a day to collect fitness and wellness data, according to Garmin.

Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) Review | Trusted Reviews

Marketing images dug up by WinFuture show off multiple angles of each new Garmin watch, with the company seemingly on the cusp of launching an Epix Pro (Gen 2) in multiple case sizes - 42mm, 47mm, and 51mm. If you're all about the weather, this is a face that does a really nice job of displaying that metrological data. So, if you can't stomach the price of Garmin's ultrarunner-friendly Enduro, you can still get one of its best faces. Along with a boat that slowly moves across your face, you can see your step count along with the time, battery status, and whether you've got a Bluetooth connection to your paired smartphone.Ranger is a very sleek analog face if you prefer to focus on the time and keep the step counts and heart rate readings well out of sight. We're still fleshing out our full verdict on the just-released Epix Pro 2, but, having spent countless hours testing the Epix 2, we're in a great position to outline what's changed with the design, features, and pricing. The latest Windows 11 update won't install for some users, and tanks gaming performance even if it does
