Seriously GARMIN should hire you as Chief UX Officer. You‘ve brought them millions of users and made them millions of dollars. I alone have spent 1500€ on Garmin products in the last three years, very much influenced by your competent reviews and general coverage of the industry. You are to Fitness devices what Jon Siracusa is to the Mac and what Ron Amadeo is to Android. Another guy ho I can think of is Anand Shimpi and guess what, Apple did actually hire him,

Great video Ray! It helped me decide to pull the trigger on the 16gb model (32gb not available in Canada yet). Definitely a steep learning curve coming from an AW, but will complement my Garmin Edge well and finally lock me into one ecosystem! Looking forward to seeing how the body battery tracking matches up to my overall “feeling of health” on a day to day basis.

Great Review! I was on the fence about the Epix 2 and Ultra. Your review was the reason I purchased the Epix 2 yesterday and currently configuring the settings. I had an Apple Watch but the battery was always terrible. Even now when I go Kayaking or Paddling for 4-6hrs in one day the watch dies halfway through. Or when I go cycling 30-50miles in one day the watch barely held on. Needed something more connected to the outdoors vs a fancy watch. Glad I made this purchase! Thanks for your vids!!!

Great review, as is the one on comparison with Fenix 7 and the one on how to update. i just got mine and updated it to 7.35. I like the HotKey option and being able to configure the watch from my phone. I am also surprised how well it communicates with my Android phone for notifications and is able to respond to the main notifications like text, and phone calls. I ended up getting the non-saphire model (the others are back-ordered) but prefer the stainless steel bezel and the screen is so clear and bright that I changed the General use brightness to low and Activity use to medium. I also have AOD off for general use as the wrist gesture is so quick.

Found that you can set a hot key to disable the display, even for gestures, which might save a countless number of gesture activations, a smidge of battery life I imagine. Can tap screen or any button to view display for the time out duration. Good for maybe when you don't want to give up your location via gesture act at night too.... basically just having display "off", but simpler via a hot key maybe

Hi, I've seen tons of Garmin EPIX videos on youtube but you remain one of the best. I want to try to share with you my experience of daily use for 2 years of another Garmin watch with AMOLED screen: Garmin Venu. I immediately fell in love with a particular watch face that I have never changed in these two years. Despite having automatic shutdown of the screen after 10 seconds and adaptive brightness, I recently noticed that many pixels have remained frozen with the background image that I have always used. I wanted to switch to EPIX just to keep the AMOLED screen that I really appreciated, but I can't afford to have this problem every two years, considering the cost of this smartwatch.

My main sport is swimming and I have tried a few devices with speakers and microphones that are rated for swimming but never last or need to dry out for a good period before use. Speakers and microphones rely on a diaphragm to work and getting them wet has to affect the quality. Maybe they will come out with a Epix sans rating for Pool and Open Water swimming but it would be no use to me.

It’s saying over 1500 resting calories! - Apple health sharing is awful and doesn’t seem to add to activity rings at all - pretty sure I saw a blog of yours relating to Strava but do you have any updates? Thanks so much!

Hi #Rainmaker, thx for the review. I have seen both Fenix7 and Epix2 over the weekend as this is the right size for me (fenix 7x is too big ). Now I like the screen of epix2 and honestly my only concern is battery. I do not need always on screen at all. My question 1 is if when using gesture mode and training 2x day ( run, swim, bike, or hiit/fitness workout etc) will epix survive a week? And question 2, if going for full ironman (gesture mode again), will it survive? So let,s say will it survive 20 hours long sport activity? Question 3, do I really need full GPS, all switched on? Thx for answers

Thanks for the detailed reviews and walk lthrough. Couple of questions as I haven't seen any information about them anywhere; - How good is the vibration on the alerts? Is it light or strong? - I see weather information, does it use phone connection to get that information or use other sensors on the watch? If it uses phone, what happens if there is no connection to the phone or phone doesn't have internet connection? - Is it possible to configure a dual time in the watch face? (I know watch faces can be customized but can we put another location's time at the same time on the main watch face?) - Is there a lap counter & timer for loop courses in training mode? (such as for track) - How accurate it is in treadmill training mode? (without foot pod) - Can we change battery mode DURING activity to get more battery time? - How easy to charge the watch DURING the activity when it is on the wrist? - How quickly locates the satellites before the activity? - I am not a Garmin user so this might be the same as others but I don't know. What happens to the recording if the watch dies DURING a training session? Thanks!

I charged my watch yesterday while making sure I wore the strap in attempt to preserve constant heart rate metering. Unfortunately there’s a gap in the data for this time and I can find a way of bringing into my metrics. I’m very lucky to be able to train with my partner, one runs and the other rides and essentially acts as coach and moral support. Is there a way I can live-transmit all the relevant data from the Epix/HRM-Pro into a screen/app on an iPhone?

Agreed. I still track my treadmill runs after all these years with my Fenix and Stryd (or other footpad) because its easiest way to get data to garminconnect and strava. I was on a crusade for couple years to try to get " elevation gain" tread data easily into Strava but never found way. There are work arounds like RunCline app and now with Stryd/Garmin you can manually enter tread incline on your watch or app as you run, but that generates power correction, not elevation data. Peloton tread came close but for some reason the elevation data didn't sync over with the rest.

@loggahlift1928 Ай бұрын

@@darren6531 I much prefer the additional stats it provides and insights into training by readiness / recovery etc. The maps are really good and easy enough to download. Downsides are that I really did appreciate the ability to receive and respond to watsapp and calls. I also prefer on the Apple Watch how easy it is with listening to music and audiobooks. I found with the Apple Watch it was easy to choose to leave my phone behind whereas with the Garmin I do second guess taking it or not. The screen display options could be better on the Garmin, but settled on something I’m happy with. For me it really comes down to priorities and decision on whether you want a sport / fitness focussed tool or smartwatch. Final thoughts, I’ve found the Garmin reports that I get more deep sleep than my Apple Watch, I’ve also had higher VO2 max score on the Garmin (but marginal really) and of course the additional battery on the Garmin is a huge benefit. I run a lot around London city and the Garmin GPS struggles in some places showing me in the Thames for example - I assume Apple does a better job of adjusting to known paths etc. both devices are not multi-band. I’m waiting for new releases from Garmin and depending on improvements over this iteration I might upgrade. I’m a fan of both if I’m honest and for my level would be satisfied with either.
