When we talk about premium, multisport smartwatches, the first thing that may come to mind is the Fenix series – and you wouldn’t be wrong.
But no matter if you classify yourself as a seasoned athlete or you just aspire to be one,
sometimes we desire an everyday smartwatch that’s not only built rugged but is also attractive and portrays our active lifestyle.
Well today, I want to tell you about a new and improved, oldie but goodie smartwatch that doesn’t just give you the performance and multisport features that you may want or need,
but comes equipped with a bright and vibrant display that shouts everyday casual and is sure to turn heads – the Garmin Epix Gen. 2.
Much like our Fenix watches, the Epix is a premium, everyday GPS smartwatch with advanced training and performance features – and we’ll talk more about those in a bit.
But where the Epix really shines, no pun intended – well maybe a little – we gave this smartwatch an always-on AMOLED display.
The colors are bright, vivid, and this display -- really -- pops!
And no AMOLED display would be complete without it being interactive, right? Of course not.
With Epix, besides having trusted button contols that work in any environment, we’ve added a responsive new touchscreen interface for quick access to selections and map features.
Of course, when we purchase a statement smartwatch, it’s nice to have choices.
Although Epix is only offered in one size – we designed it with premium materials and options for a sapphire display and stainless steel or titanium bezels.
It’s offered in three configurations – Slate Steel, Black Titanium, and White Titanium – so you’ll be able to fit the watch’s look to your lifestyle.
But Epix is so much more than just a pretty face…
It really is flashy though. Just look at how nice that looks… Like I was saying.
Since you’re going to be wearing Epix 24/7, you should be able to monitor your health 24/7.
So we’ve included all the features to help you keep an eye on your health and wellness – such as Wrist-Based Heart Rate, Pulse Ox, Advanced Sleep Monitoring…
the list just keeps going on and on.
When it comes to our fitness level, we all have aspirations. We aspire to perform better, train harder, or even just be more fit.
For all of you who aspire to be a better version of yourself, Epix is built to help with that – with training features that will gauge your performance and help you beat yesterday.
See, I told you we would come back to these.
With Epix, you can select from a multitude of sports apps to keep track of your activities – such as running, swimming, biking, rowing, skiing,
and just about anything that gets your heart pumping.
If you’re new to working out or trying a new workout routine, you might even wonder if you’re doing it right.
But with Epix, you can take advantage of the animated workouts.
What are animated workouts you ask?
Well this watch features easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts you can view right on the watch screen – to help you with proper form.
You can choose from preloaded animated workouts, or download more from the Garmin Connect online community when paired with your compatible device.
To top it off, Epix is packed full of advanced features to help those who may be a little more seasoned and really in tune with their training and performance.
Features such as Garmin Coach, PacePro, VO2 Max – and so much more.
For more in-depth information on these features and how they work, check out the video links in the description below.
And I certainly don’t want to forget to mention the newest performance feature that Epix offers – Real-Time Stamina.
Now you can track and manage your exertion, and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or activity – causing you to bonk long before you should.
Now, your active lifestyle may be more than just working out or going on long runs or bike rides.
And since Epix was designed with all-day, every-day wearability – it’s there to help no matter where your adventure takes you.
Multi-Band frequency support helps with improved position accuracy in areas where satellite signals are reflected, weak or typically don’t penetrate.
The ABC sensors help you navigate your next trail with an altimeter, barometer, and a 3-axis electronic compass.
And the Epix is full of mapping such as more than 42,000 preloaded golf courses from around the world – as well as Topo Maps and Ski Maps.
With all of these mapping features at your finger tips, you’ll certainly have an EPIC adventure.
Clearly, this GPS smartwatch does a lot.
But with 24/7 wearability and more features than you can even imagine, the battery life in the Epix still proves to be an epic beast,
I mean, check these numbers out.
You live an active lifestyle – and aspirations are personal.
Your once-in-a-lifetime big moment, might not be someone else’s – but that’s not what matters.
Regardless of your health and wellness goals, you should have a premium active smartwatch that has the functionality to help you reach yours.
No matter how athletic you are, everybody has their Everest.
For yours, there’s Epix.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to learn more about the epix.
For now, that’s all I‘ve got.
This is Kevin from Garmin hoping that wherever your adventure takes you, we’ve helped you beat yesterday!
