Unboxing & First Impressions Video Here: ruclips.net/video/rF_wGIR-qpY/видео.html
After watching this video, I sold my fenix 7 silver and bought the epix pro standard black (they are the most beautiful without titanium just simple black ), I don't need sapphire because I have a protective glass, it was the best choice I could have made. The quality of the display and color, contrast, and visibility in all conditions is amazing. Since I spend 70% of my time indoors (work, gym, home) and 30% outside, of that 30% the sun is 10% :D the rest is raining or it's morning or night. Amoled simply has no competition and fenix was just a pain for my eyes :D + red shift mode at night is beautiful. It's a pity that there is no ECG support for Germany yet.
I agree man, all that recovery info is definitely a double edged sword.
The thing to remember is that even if your HRV is low, you can still do easy workouts. HRV is about guiding intensity. If my HRV is super low and i’m feeling bad, I’ll still walk and do a yoga session. If it’s moderately low, I’ll still do some easy zone 2 training. And if it’s higher and i’m feeling good, that’s a signal that I can really push hard in the gym or on the track. Unless you’re sick, don’t let a low score prevent you from working out-maybe just let it guide your intensity a bit.
Wouldn’t you like a Suunto Race Titanium though? Much cheaper and still very good.
I agree, the Body Battery info is really demotivating for me as well...that's why I remove it from the glances and focus on my day. I don't need my watch to remind me that I'm tired :)
Thank you. Any idea how to add a training like Sling Trainging (TRX) ? Can't find anything in traings & apps on the watch or Garmin Connect. Thanks for information.
Great review!! I just ordered the same watch & the green band!
Thank you for this review! You're the first one to mention the rather sluggish performance of the OS - something that's quite apparent in all the videos I've watched so far, but not often mentioned. I am torn between this model and the Garmin Forerunner 965 mainly because I also surf, although rather infrequently. Do you have any experience with the 965? Would the performance of the OS be comparable or perhaps slightly smoother (it seemed so to me on side by side video comparisons)? I need to decide if surf tracking is a deal breaker for me or not... Thanks a lot.
How does that band feel after exercise when it’s wet with sweat?
Great video! I would like to know what is the name of that nice watch face. I own an Epix gen 2 Sapphire (not Pro) and I cant find it in the IQ Connect store. Thank you!
My Fenix 5x Plus just had the sensor die - and so today after a few back and forths with Garmin, they gave me %20 off for a new one - I went with this - looks like a good replacement, upgrade.. I can't wear the silicone, it makes my screen break out - so I have had to use the fabric bands...
Thanks, WHC! I got a Fenix 7X and thinking of upgrading it to the epix pro 51mm - you’ve mentioned you didn’t get any “Battery Anxiety”, my dilemma exactly… How is the battery life compared to the same usage on your Fenix 7X?
Did you move to the “Gesture” move to turn screen on? Or did you stick with the “Always On Display” mode?
Thanks for the review! Uri.
Still on aleways on display. Charge it just about double as much, which is every week. Do not have any battery anxiety at all for me personally. Once a week, I think it is very good, considering the nicer display 👍.
No wonder theae are so expensive ! You bought and returned 4 of them!????? That's ridiculous
I have an Instinct 2 Solar and the thing I really love about the simple Monochrome screen, is that reading the time in the bright sun is very easy. The battery life is amazing, but of course, I do miss the nice coloured screen. I wonder if I should have spent extra and gone for a Fenix or Epix? It is a big spend. Double what I spent on the Instinct 2 Solar. That's the cost of a new Iphone. You really do have to be sure about a watch, when spending the big bucks.
I had fenix 5+ titan saphirr , then instinct 2 solar , then fenix 7 . The visibility of the display and viewing angles was the worst on the fenix 7, because there is a touch layer, and unless the sun shines on the display, it is terrible, that is, 70% of the free time. Fenix 5 had much better contrast in low light. And now the epix for the first week, I gave amoled a chance, and the display on the epix will make up for any battery life, the colors are perfect, it's a joy to play sports and run with them, even in direct sunlight the visibility is beautiful, and the maps are another dimension. I use them in gesture mode, during always on activities, I got used to it and it doesn't bother me. I have a battery life of about 8-9 days with daily 2-hour GPS activity and 24-hour use.
great video
glad you enjoy it
please compare with fenix 7x pro solar titanium saphhire
Hi! 51mm is the largest one?
Good video bud. Appreciate it. I have the 7xpro and am curious to try out the epix.👍
Did you end up getting it?
Great review! which nylon band are you using?
Yooside band. Link in description.
Did anyone notice that this watch has some delay / latency in turning on the screen when you just simply rotate the hand to check what time it is?
First time, when you rotate the hand, the watchis having some delay in turning on the screen, but if you rotate the hand immediately, for the 2, 3rs time there is no lag?
Is it only my watch that is having this issue or this is by design Garmin behavior?
Do you know if Garmin would release a black color besides the carbon gray?
Garmin released them already, In Czechia we have only Black DLC at epix pro saphirre/Titanium. Carbon gray is only at Epix pro Standard with Gorilla glass / steel
What size of wrist have you got?
May I ask your wrist size? I'm eyeing 51mm but it may look too big on my wrist.
Around 17.3 cm
Can you tell me where you got that band from please?
Thanks for your review, one recommendation for the future. If you decided to record movie in English, would be good to switch watch language into English too. Would be much easier to follow.
What is your wrist size, sir, please?
Great review.
Can you please elaborate about the good/bad buttons?
What should I check?
Thanks
There have been some issues with "double click" buttons, so it felt like it had two stages. And also just "spongy" feeling buttons. Or, in some cases, buttons that doesn't not w, rk probably when you press them.
@@whcvip Thanks
fyi garmin forerunner 965 screen are exactly the same size as epixprogen2 but almost half the weight.
Have the same watch, and mine rebooted during a run two days ago. It resumed activity though, så no harm done, but as you said quite disconcerting. It happened as I wanted to enable shuffle in the spotify app, while listening to music. I was also following a course with navigation and had footpod connected. So quite a bit was going on. But still.
It's not a nice feeling on a new watch. I hope it is a non-issue, maybe some software bugs. Have not had any reboots since that one, so time will tell.
...hvilken af forhandlerne du har linket til, fik du 15 procent rabat ved ?? Og ja- takker for altid relevante oplysninger og gennemgang. Mvh Martin
Pricerunner kan du tjekke priserne. Købte fra bendixen, 7600 kr.
@@whcvip ...super og tak
@@whcvip ...et Varenr. ville være guld ;)
Hello. what bar is in EPIX 2 PRO?
Hello, what do you mean by "bar"?
it stops lagging once you update it through the watch. it will go away!
Where did you get the green band from?
Amazon, link down below:)
Bra video 😀tenker på å kjøpe epix gen 2 men har fortsatt forerunner 955, hilsen Jakob 😊
Is the screen of Epix Pro 51mm bigger than 7X?
No
@@Shawn-ky2tw so what happened to the extra space taken by solar stripe on 7x?
@@StarLight...All Garmin models of the same size ( 51 mm) have:
- exactly the same physical dimensions (51mm)
- exactly the same size of screen (35,5 mm)
The only difference is area between inner bezel and the screen:
- solar models have solar strap there
- non-solar models usually have printed functions of buttons or some graphic printer
Hello! What is size of your wrist?
I want to know too because 51mm is the biggest and he probably has a big hands...
From where you got this band
Link in description 👍
So battery last 7+6 days left. 13 days if you use it like you did for first 7 days😮
Good Lord man, loosen your strap up before you form a blood clot.😅
Otherwise, great review!
I know these retailers, they selling not sapharie versions.
It's not a toohma!!
Bah ha ha 😂😂😂
Norwegian?
Amoled display🤮🤢
what's wrong with AMOLED display? It is definetly better rather than in Fenix series
