Vratislav Holub The world-renowned smart watch manufacturer Garmin recently surprised us by unveiling two new products. Particulary speaking about Fenix 7 watch and epix PRO, while today we will focus on the second mentioned model, which brought change in several areas. And by the looks of it, it's definitely worth it. The main benefit is the use of a high-quality 1,3" AMOLED display with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels, which is easy to read even in the sun. There is even the possibility of dual control (touch and physical buttons) and excellent battery life.

Flying around the world with Apple The design of the watch, led by the use of quality materials, can also impress. Thanks to this, Garmin EPIX PRO are suitable partners not only for various sports activities, but with a calm soul they can also be taken to the company, for example. In that case, just replace the strap. In this direction, Garmin again bets on replaceable quickfit straps, thanks to which you can change them in a few seconds. In general, this is a very comfortable watch for all-day wear, weighing only 76 grams (the body itself weighs 53 grams). The weight of the Sapphire edition is only 70 grams (the body itself weighs 47 grams). Subsequently, we must not forget to mention the presence of an advanced satellite receiver, which is compatible with GPS, Glonass and Galileo systems.
Garmin EPIX PRO battery life
As already mentioned above, this watch can also please you thanks to its relatively long battery life. In smart watch mode, they offer up to 16 days of operation, or 6 days with the display always on (Always-on). When GPS is active, the duration is reduced to 42 hours (30 hours with active Always-on), or when all satellite systems and music are turned on at the same time, the watch lasts up to 10 hours, or 9 hours with the display permanently on. Honestly, we have to admit that these are great values, thanks to which this model can provide several hours of endurance even in full use.
Garmin Epix PRO
But let's also shine a light on the smart functions themselves - there are definitely not the least of them. Of course, the watch can handle basic operations such as heart rate measurement or sleep monitoring. But it is also necessary to add a pulse oximeter to measure the oxygen saturation in the blood, measure the breathing rate, the load on the organism and monitor the drinking regime. The watch also works with the Body Battery function, which can determine your total energy based on available data.
The Garmin EPIX PRO watch is a great partner for a variety of activities, which is matched by its capabilities. Of those, we still need to highlight the ability to display animated training sessions, free exercise plans for beginners and advanced runners or detailed monitoring of all sports activities of the user. There are several mentioned functions and you can view them all <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>. All collected data can then be viewed in the mobile application, which is of course available on both iOS and Android.
Garmin EPIX PRO price
Garmin EPIX PRO are available in four versions. The basic version is labeled EPIX PRO Glass and will cost you CZK 21. There are also three Sapphire versions available, the price of which is CZK 990, while the most expensive model with a leather strap will cost you CZK 24.
The watch is called Garmin Epix 2, no PRO…
Although it is really the second generation, Garmin presents it as Epix PRO. You can also find it at any authorized dealer.
Czech Garmin showed off again. First, he introduced Epix 2, just like the rest of the world, then he changed it to PRO, probably because of the time-honored designation of the watch, to which a voucher for CZ Topo maps is added in the official Czech distribution.
The Czech representative office of Garmin presents them as PRO (i.e. as an invented add-on). US, GB, FR Garmin sites have it as my real name, as it is on the box and on the watch itself, i.e. Epic gen. 2.
I'm sorry, just last week they had the name epix 2 on the website... I don't understand why they changed it like that, they're making an even bigger mess than it is...😂
Can someone explain to me what the difference is between Epix and Fénix?
Thank you
Epix have an amoled display and only one size, otherwise they are identical
