What a smart watch so well made real quality watch I own some expensive watches and this is in par with them all Does everything you would want from a smart watch and more screens amazing and clear and bright wear it all the time

Previously i had fenix 8 none sapphire....but i wasnt happy... Fragile and not as sharp looking.... I got this beast instead for half the price...titanium/sapphire spec...and boy let me tell you..that watch never leaves my wrist...charging 1 a month for couple hours...using it for mapping while fishing or checking tides....anything you throw at it.... For the money its a win win situation... absolutely beast

Excellent. Fantastic, I needed a multi sports watch, it does everything I need and more.

The Garmin EPIX Pro 2—your passport to explorations and letdowns. It's like that friend who boasts about their sense of direction but, when push comes to shove, can't lead a group out of the kitchen and into the living room. Would you trust the EPIX Pro 2 to deliver an accurate breadcrumb trail when the trail turns deceptive? At first, it appears to be a thing of beauty. A timepiece that seems ready to conquer Everest while you are merely trying to endure a grocery run. It has all the looks and well, all the moves, making you feel as if you are on the fast track to fitness nirvana. But! Just like my last three relationships, it is threatening to dissolve into chaos. The watch is crammed with features that promise to monitor everything from your heart rate to your deep-seated anxieties. And while it could've been the ultimate companion for your outdoor beatdowns, the software sucks harder than my caffeine-addled brain did the morning after last night's debauchery. It might as well have a "self-sabotage" mode built in—one minute, you're between reps, and the next, it's convinced you're basking in the afterglow of the worst decision you've ever made. Now let's discuss those little insects. If I wanted to witness something going south, I could just rewatch my dating life. The loyal and trusted workout "Companions" were obstinate misfit strangers—invited guests at my unfit funeral. They were party poopers, repeatedly stalling in mid-movement, losing GPS signals as if they were disillusioned with relationships, and attacking my fitness goals when I was down on my knees in some kind of strange personal fitness prayer. It was trying to hide in plain sight if it ever did in fact function successfully. Returning these ardent workout "companions" began to feel like Turkey's recent escape from the EU: a necessity for survival and a series of steps that, in hindsight, felt damn good. To sum up, the Garmin EPIX Pro 2 could be great if it only could get its act together. Until then, it's just another reminder that sometimes, even the most promising tech can end in disaster. If you enjoy the unpredictability of living on the edge and don't mind a tech abyss, you might enjoy this. Otherwise, save your heart and look for something that can promise you tech excitement with less risk.

It is white on the side of the casing, really horrendous. I had a 47mm Epix before that wasn't white on the side and really liked the look so I asumed this one would also be in full chrome look, I didn't notice it from the pictures. But when you look closely you can actually see on the images that it is white on the side. I have no idea what was driving Garmin to do this. It not only looks horrendous, it only works with the white strap - which also looks horrendous. The advantage of this watch, especially the epix in chrome look, was that they were versatile, you could put on a leather stripe and use a analogue watch face and it would go through as elegant, or you could go sporty. This one has none of the versatility, I have no idea for whom this could possibly be working, for women it is too big and men can't wear white sports watches, not even for sports.

This device / app require an Internet connection to function. Extremely annoying after a long hike to have to get an Internet connection to review the activity, where one may not be available. Also opens concerns around data privacy. Would recommend otherwise but have serious concerns or doubts about the app.

Even with a deal on, it was still expensive, but that seems to be all garmin watches. As a fitness tracker its perfect, has more functions than you can shake a gym membership at! and is very comfortable to wear. It doesn't like my sleep, always telling me that i had crap sleep (but such is life) and seems pretty accurate on the heart rate. my one problem would be with the worlds shortest charging cable! (have a look around as you can get a nice charging stand with a decent cable length for about £10) i really really wish i had known that the body of the watch was white, in the pictures it looked like a metal body watch with a white strap, the sides of the watch are white, so now i'm limited on straps. shame as i nearly always have a metal strap and though i could save a few quid getting this one... Lesson learnt.

Unfortunately watch screen was defective. Sent back to Amazon.
