Garmin’s latest luxury sports watch is a departure for the firm, which has swapped its usual low-power LCD for a fancy OLED screen, sacrificing battery life in the process. It better competes with the Apple Watch and its ilk, but are the trade-offs really worth it for an adventure-tracking smartwatch?
The Epix (gen 2) is a new line of expensive all-singing, all-dancing watches from Garmin costing from £799.99 ($899.99/A$1,399). They are built on the company’s Fenix 7 – the benchmark for these types of smartwatches – sharing its design, sensors, software and comprehensive navigation, sport and activity-tracking features.
