The Garmin Epix puts maps, training tools, and an AMOLED display on your wrist without making you choose between a serious outdoor watch and a readable everyday screen. For someone who enjoys mechanical watches but wants a different companion for long runs and unfamiliar trails, the Epix (Gen 2) is where this family becomes particularly interesting.

The name needs a little untangling: the original Epix, introduced in 2015, was a rectangular mapping watch, quite different from the round Epix (Gen 2) released in 2022. The 2023 Epix Pro (Gen 2) adds a built-in LED flashlight and offers three case sizes rather than one—a useful distinction if fit matters more to you than maximum screen area. When comparing examples, establish the generation and whether it’s a sapphire variant; scratch resistance is a meaningful consideration for a watch intended to spend this much time outdoors.
