At $609.99, the discounted Epix Pro Gen 2 reinforces the already rugged Garmin watch with sapphire glass. Advanced fitness and sleep tracking features match or exceed similarly priced, less durable smartwatches. Only the complexity of the Epix Pro Gen 2 might scare away some buyers.
Outdoor enthusiasts rely on Garmin smartwatch models because of their resilient construction and reliable GPS tracker. The Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 is one of the brand's most well-built options, coming loaded with features useful both at home and on the road. While normally carrying a premium price, the Sapphire Edition is seeing its steepest Amazon discount. In the largest 51 mm size, the Epix Pro Gen 2 is 45% off, with a sale price of $609.99.
One advantage of this edition of the Epix Pro Gen 2 is the sapphire glass display. The material is even more scratch-proof than the Corning Gorilla Glass DX on other versions. A titanium bezel also ensures that the Garmin smartwatch can withstand drops and collisions. 42 mm and 47 mm sizes are also available, but they aren't currently at the same reduced price.

With the added diameter of the 51 mm variety, the Epix Pro Gen 2 boasts a maximum battery life of 31 days in gesture mode. The brilliant yet efficient AMOLED touchscreen keeps the Garmin smartwatch running longer. On the other hand, users in remote locations may bemoan the lack of solar recharging, which the Fenix 7 Pro and Fenix 8 offer.
The Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 is complex but versatile
Since it tracks most exercises and activities, the device has broad appeal for athletes and nature lovers. Options like VO2 max estimates provide more insight into conditioning and can help fine-tune routines. As with most Garmin products, reviewers have found its preloaded maps and GPS tracker highly accurate.
The Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire Edition performs well as a standalone device. Still, buyers can also pair it with Android and Apple smartphones to enable notifications. Using it with Garmin apps also makes it easier to monitor sleep and fitness scores.
The endless features of this wearable tech are both a blessing and a curse. On the other hand, learning how to use one of the more advanced Garmin watches can seem overwhelming to novices. Regardless, at its $609.99 Amazon sale price, the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire Edition has few rivals in build quality and tracking capabilities.
