The Garmin Epix Gen 2 is a premium touch-screen smartwatch that offers both topographic maps and on-screen animated workouts. The AMOLED screen is a joy to look at, and the battery life is brilliant, too; no wonder the watch has such an epic price tag...

Bright and vibrant display ; Solid tracking features ; Excellent health data ; Durable build

Only comes in one size ; Lacking interactive notifications ; Battery not as long-lasting as Fenix ; Very expensive

The second-generation Epix finds the right balance between offering a bright, colourful display and maintaining strong battery life. Like many of Garmin's more premium offerings, though, the Epix 2 isn't for everybody, despite being an outstanding watch.

Gorgeous, brilliant AMOLED display -High quality sapphire and titanium materials ; Touchscreen and five-button navigation interface ; Powerful Garmin ecosystem and capability ; Solid battery life ; Support for a vast number of sports and activities

Expensive ; No phone call or voice assistant support

So, if you value battery life above all else, go with the Fenix 7; if you want something that looks better on your wrist, the Garmin Epix makes for the more stunning wearable.

Huge accessory ecosystem ; Great tracking features ; Great running analysis functions ; Robust workmanship with optional sapphire crystal

Missing smartwatch features ; Only one size available

Veldig svær og robust klokke for deg som er opplevelseslysten og gjerne driver med litt ulike treningsformer. Den tilhørende appen Garmin Connect høyner opplevelsen enda mer.

Prisen er i mektigste laget, og e-SIM skulle ha vært på plass. Litt skarpe kanter som risikerer å rispe i stykker en silkebluse eller foret i en jakke.

Ça y est. L’epix (Gen 2) est la preuve qu’il est possible de combiner écran Amoled et autonomie sur une montre de sport. Eh oui, Garmin a utilisé les bases de la fēnix 7 pour son epix (Gen 2), si bien qu’on se retrouve avec une montre ultra-complète et...
