Garmin's new Epix is one of the best smartwatches you can buy right now. Why? Put it up against smartwatches from any other brand and it scores at least as well and usually better.
This 47 mm measuring smartwatch is made for wearing anytime, anywhere, thanks to its use of beautiful, high-quality materials like sapphire crystal, stainless steel and titanium and its water resistance to 10 atm. It features a bright 1.3-inch Amoled display, with Garmin combining the familiar button controls with a touchscreen for the first time. This further enhances not only the daily use of the smartwatch, but also map navigation.
Health
With Epix on your wrist and its wide range of 24/7 health monitoring features, you have useful tools to help you understand more about your physical condition. Think heart rate measurement on the wrist (with user-configurable alerts for high or low readings), breathing and stress tracking, sleep scores and insights and monitoring your energy levels. Are you sporty? Then take advantage of the animated workouts the watch offers, for strength training, cardio and yoga. And are you going to work out straight from work? No problem! Simply change the stylish leather, suede or metal strap for a sporty silicone version that can withstand anything.
Super screen
Garmin has equipped the watch with a handsome Amoled display, one that not only gives razor-sharp images, but is always on if desired. Still, the battery life is impressive, leaving other smartwatches far behind: up to a whopping 16 days in smartwatch mode (6 days when always on) and up to 42 hours in GPS mode. Of course, features like smartphone notifications, music storage, preloaded music services, Garmin Pay and many others come as standard, and the Epix can be used with both Android and Apple smartphones.
