The gold standard in fitness tracking!
I had an apple watch ultra and used it to track my fitness and lap times (I race motocross and use the lit pro app for lap tracking). After reading a recent review from lit pro on smart/fitness watches, they ranked the garmin as the top watch for accuracy. I bought a garmin epix pro 2 51mm to test against my AWU. The garmin is amazing. More accurate and I feel that it gives you more accurate health info too. Battery life is incredible too! I gave my wife the AWU and kept the garmin. If you take fitness and accuracy seriously get a garmin!

EPIX PRO 2 - The Holy Grail of Fitness Watches
So impressed. The rest of the fitness watch world needs time too catch up. Please include more ways to interface the Garmin USB for GYM fitness equipment, currently does not work well with Windows 11. Many of your apps are not working or updated. Overall you need to offer college credit to operate all the amazing features of this watch. Love it.

great hardware, poor software
This is the most expensive watch I have ever bought. It is a sports smartwatch. Garmin is a GPS company that also makes watches. The GPS receiver will receive all the major navigation satellites, and is also multi-band. It has a long life while the GPS is enabled. It is very well made. I have found a number of issues however. First, you install an app on your smartphone, called Garmin connect. Next you install another app called Garmin connect IQ. No idea why you need 2 apps. I downloaded a 'watch face', as the faces included with the watch were not very nice for me. It queued the download, but it wouldn't download. The watch seemed to have the new face, the app said pending. There was nothing I could do to push the download. Finally, I rebooted the phone, and the download showed that it completed. Poor software. You can customize the included Garmin watch faces. I tried, but the user interface to do it was a bit confusing. Also the navigation to get to the point where I could customize the watch face was quite confusing. Perhaps with more experience, it would be less confusing, but I think it is a poor user interface. One reason I bought the watch was the pulse oximeter feature. In 1996, I worked on what became the best oximeter company in the world, so I have some understanding of pulse oximeters. I enabled it, and it said if it was always on, then the battery would drain faster. I enabled it anyway. I was having a hard time getting a reading. It said not to move for about 30 seconds. Eventually I got a reading of 93. Now I know this isn't a medical instrument. Still, in 1996, we had technology to deal with motion artifacts. It seems Garmin doesn't. I had assumed I could get readings while hiking or running. I guess not. Another issue is the reading. Based on my experience, I would say my typical reading would be 98 or 99. Getting a number of 93 shows the quality of the measurement is poor. When developing the oximeter in 1996, I had a perfusion of about 5%. This is a really strong signal. The oximeter would get accurate readings with a perfusion below 0.1%. So the signal strength shouldn't be an issue for Garmin. There is a lawsuit in the works between Masimo and Apple for pulse oximeter technology. The International Trade Commission found against Apple, and so Apple has removed the pulse oximeter functionality from their current watches. It would seems that Apple wanted really good oximeter technology, unlike Garmin. There was a lawsuit, which resulted in a hung jury. I might accept the crappy oximeter on a cheap watch, but the Epix is a very expensive watch.

Great battery life. Excellent workout tracking.
I’ve owned my epix pro for a month and have been very pleased with it. It works quite well recording workouts and outdoors. The watch does a very good job of measuring my workouts. And the Garmin Connect app does a very good job of organizing the data. It helps me to stay motivated to keep doing workouts. The watch also does a very good job outdoors. The multi day battery life is dramatically better than my Series 5 Apple watch. I no longer worry about the battery running out when measuring heart rate on a full day hike. The built-in GPS seems to be very accurate. I’m looking forward to taking it on multi day backpack outings and not having to recharge it. I originally purchased the non pro version of the epix Gen 2. On Youtube, a reviewer ‘The Quantified Scientist’ has posted very extensive test comparisons of heart rate accuracy of watches; Garmin, Apple and others. The non pro epix Gen 2 scored poorly. After seeing those test results, I returned the non pro version and purchased the pro.

GREAT MULTISPORT SMARTWATCH
I upgraded from my old Fenix 6 pro and I’m more than amazed with the features and great display. It is also very accurate and I couldn’t be happier. I made a great decision! :)

Band is short
I bought the 42 mm version because the others just looked huge on my wrist. After getting it home and taking out of the box, I realized that I’m on the second to the last notch on the band and it didn’t look good or feel good to be on the very end. in fairness, it does say that size is for those with smaller wrist, but I generally think that includes me. Apparently not. I was so frustrated by the fit that I may return it tomorrow I have had Garmin running watches in the past and thought they were very good. In this case, my intention was for some light hiking, swimming laps of the pool, and playing golf. I didn’t really get to the point where I was able to see those apps in working order.

Great watch,
The visibility is amazing and there are way more features than most mortals will ever need. Upgraded from an older Fenix that would not charge. Very nice that the bands work on both watches
