Garmin's New Epix Is an Absurdly Excellent Fitness Watch

With a stunning screen, excellent health-tracking, and all the GPS sports features you've come to love from Garmin, the Epix is the best watch I've ever used.

Absolutely gorgeous display, which finally has touch, making mapping and navigating a lot easier; new heart rate sensors and GPS technology for improved accuracy; ski maps even show the names of runs; lower-profile than previous generation

Garmin Epix

The Garmin Epix is the company's first watch to combine the features of its sports watches – and we mean all of them – with its wrist-based GPS mapping devices.

Full-colour European TOPO recreational maps included ; Comprehensive activity-type support ; Rugged and waterproof to 50m

Interface needs getting used to ; Not as sleek as some smart watches ; Expensive

The Garmin Epix delivers possibly all the multi-sports and activity watch functionality you could ever need.

Garmin Epix review: Life-saving reliability

When you venture out into the wild, even if that's just a walk in the not-so-local woods, you want a GPS device you can rely on. Garmin, with years of experience in that area, is a name that generally offers peace of mind. When it comes to the Epix...

Battery life, maps, GPS speed and accuracy, ruggedness, display, apps

Size and chunky build

The Garmin Epix might be the company's only watch-based mapping option but it's clear the experience of its other mapping products has been included. However, as a day-to-day watch it's definitely on the larger, chunky side.
