Garmin Epix In-Depth Review

 

Already review? it just been out today. So far it's Fenix 7 with touchscreen and OLED rest is not sure what is there. New modes ... yes but hardware vise who knows. My bet new CPU because old was not capable of driving 460X460 screen.

 

Yes "already reviewed" when you got access to all those new watches since the beginning of December, there is no surprise: they are "in depth review" like I have answered already to your question on the other thread: Fenix 7 Release

"Desfit, DC Rainmaker and Chasethesummit are very close to Garmin which gave them the opportunity to test them (and buy them) before the official release.
They were obliged to wait the D Day before releasing their article.
It is common.

Actually Ray said he got the watch over one month and a half to test them with the all the flock of GPS he already got. Screenshot from CD Rainmaker Epix review."

The interesting thing about Ray's review is how he stated that Garmin has shot in their own foot by bringing a gorgeous AMOLED display and "killed the Fenix's line".


What§ do you think ?

 

Is the Epix the Fenix 7 killer?
When the new Instinct will be released?
Is the LED light the next add to the futur 7SPlus and 7 Plus?

Looking forward to seeing some real life testing from early adopters!

Epix is Fenix 7 with OLED display. So not much killing going on. Just flavors. At some point someone will do teardown and we will know for sure.
I think Epix and Fenix are targeted at different folks. with Epix been more slick and traditional smartwatch like look for indoors and Fenix true outdoor companion. Garmin drive to create a lot of submodels is confusing.
I really think Epix is very impressive with battery life besting anyone else with OLED. Not that surprising considering size of this thing but still good. In GPS mode it actually phenomenal.

Garmin Epix (Gen 2) review: All new Epix brings the screen

The new Garmin Epix (Gen 2) sees the resurrection of a Garmin watch that had seemingly been forgotten by the sports watch giant. The first gen-Epix was launched back in 2015 as a rugged GPS mapping watch for outdoor enthusiasts with a high-resolution color touchscreen. The Epix or Epix (Gen 2)...
