Deal | Garmin epix Gen 2 smartwatch with 16-day battery life gets massive $500 discount to hit record-low price

The Garmin epix (Gen 2) smartwatch (Slate Steel, 47mm) has just seen a jaw-dropping price drop, bringing it down to $299 from its original $799—a mammoth $500 discount (and for the very first time too). Available at EuroOptic, a retailer specializing in high-quality outdoor and sporting gear, this deal stands out not just for its steep markdown but also because it features a great, top-of-the-line smartwatch.

While EuroOptic isn’t as widely known as Amazon or Best Buy, it’s a pretty trusted platform for outdoor electronics. This price for the epix Gen 2 is the lowest recorded on price-tracking platforms, which makes it an unmissable deal for anyone considering a smartwatch upgrade. We recently covered another deal on the Black Titanium variant of the same model, but the deal on this Slate Steel model further brings that price point down to an all-time low.

The Garmin epix Gen 2 is specifically great for outdoor-oriented people. Its 1.3-inch AMOLED display (with Corning Gorilla Glass lens) is bright enough to read even under harsh sunlight, and the battery life of up to 16 days means you can rely on it during extended trips. It features multi-band GPS for accurate navigation, SkiView maps for detailed slope information, and even real-time stamina tracking to monitor your exertion levels. Additionally, it includes a suite of health metrics such as heart rate monitoring, hydration tracking, and sleep analysis, implying you can keep tabs on your wellness alongside your fitness.

In its review, Tom’s Guide praised the epix Gen 2 for its premium design, vibrant display, and advanced tracking capabilities. On the other hand, they mentioned that it falls slightly short compared to competitors like Apple and Samsung, but only in terms of smartwatch features - especially app support. Still, its targeted focus on fitness and adventure makes it a great option for its intended audience.

At the time of writing, the smartwatch is discounted to $599.99 on Amazon, which is another solid indicator of how competitive this deal is at EuroOptic. If you’re a runner, skier, or just someone who appreciates rugged, reliable tech, the Garmin epix Gen 2 at this price is an opportunity worth considering. 

Buy the Garmin epix (Gen 2) premium smartwatch for only $299 on EuroOptic.
