📜 Description 📜
--------------------------------------------
Introducing the Epix Pro Watch - a badass, modern, and luxurious timepiece. Join me as I explore its features and help you decide if it's the right upgrade.
There are different sizes available: 42mm to 51mm. The 47mm might be ideal for most, but if you have a smaller wrist and aesthetics matters, consider the 42mm. Larger versions offer better battery life and a bigger display for easier stat tracking.
The Epix Pro has a tough and durable design with Gorilla Glass, stainless steel bezel, and a plastic body. The Sapphire version with titanium is lighter and more comfortable, despite the higher price.
Features include an AMOLED display, 32GB storage for music and maps, a versatile flashlight, and metrics like Hill Score and Endurance Score for performance tracking. Training Effect and Training Readiness optimize workouts and prevent injuries.
With live maps, "Red shift", sleep tracking, and up to 16 days of battery life, the Epix Pro is perfect for outdoor adventures.
Join me for a comprehensive review of the Epix Pro Watch. Don't forget to subscribe for the upcoming tips and tricks video.

Excellent review I am getting my Epix Gen 2 in morning. I have been Fenix person until Epix. Wow so much more than Fenix 6x version of watches, Thanks again.

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

The name of that feature I wasn't sure of is Audio Prompts, so it’s real! Learn about that plus a bunch of cool tips and tricks in this new video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--GGIYCdLxK0.html

@rickstokes2239 Год назад

I’m waiting on the 51mm Pro Sapphire to arrive in a couple days, upgrading from the Fenix 5x. I used it for cycling, Tri, and golfing the most and the larger display with increased battery life is great for my uses and my older eyes.

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Have to admit, battery life on the 51mm is really tempting. What's your wrist size, Rick? A lot of folks could benefit from knowing who buys the 51mm.

@rickstokes2239 Год назад

@@RyansTechMedia I don’t really have a large wrist. The decision is more about ease of use with the larger screen when you’re on the move (cycling, running,) and what you can see when golfing, using maps when hiking etc. I’m coming up on 60 so the larger screen size is helpful. If you’re younger with good eyes then these issues may be moot. I run an IT company so my many years on computers and such have worn my near vision so a brighter high res screen is great.

@brownianmotion6319 Год назад

I too run an IT company and have suffered the same affliction for the same reason. Hurtling down a hill at break neck speed seeing what's up front with perfect acuity and glancing down at your watch to gloat at the speed and seeing a blurry mess is frustrating.

I had the org 47mm Epix Gen-2, returned it & getting the 51mm w/ sapphire. I also have the Fenix-6 Pro, so I'm fairly used to the bigger size & def prefer the bigger screen, plus the extra battery life will be a big plus.

@ignacio2763 Год назад

Really cant decided if this is worth it over forerunner 965. Mainly triathlon sports

@dblissmn Год назад

Very clearly better optical heart sensor than the 965 -- even if they don't bother to push the ECG firmware it looks as though it might be capable of -- and better geolocation too. If strictly for triathlon and you're not using the optical heart sensor much and not too fussy about geolocation, then the lighter weight 965 probably is the better deal and looks to me like the UI is a bit tidier and slicker.

@vong4518 Год назад

I’m nowhere near anyone who really needs this watch or could afford it, but i bought it anyway because of that sensor, Sapphire version that is… Also got a really good discount on it 😅 I just wanted something cool looking with a good heart sensor that can replace a strap… I monitor my heart 24/7.

@martinlecuona2860 Год назад

If those are your options, I’d make the call based on whether you want the flashlight or not. FYI, the flashlight is AWESOME

I can’t decide if I want the Fenix 7 pro Solar sapphire or epix pro (47mm)

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Dennis, the way I see it, in this case it would be better not to compare the battery life in smartwatch mode, but primarily focus on GPS only battery life which is 42 hours with Epix Pro vs up to 73 hours with Fenix 7 Pro Solar. Now the question is do you spend (or need) that much time outdoors?

Red shift would help the battery life since instead of using 3-4 LEDs for white, it is only 1. Also red is the most low power draw out of all the color LEDs.

@fulldaywork4200 Год назад

I recently replaced my Fenix 5 with a Forerunner 965. Maybe in 10~12 months I change it for Epix Pro 47mm. Not sure if that would be needed though, just got me thinking.

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Forerunner 965 is a great watch, though, especially now that it has AMOLED, but sure by that time, the Epix Pro will most likely have had a price drop.

@reginac9681 Год назад

I'm upgrading from the Venu 2s to the Epix 7 Pro 42mm since I'm a woman with a small wrist. It's arriving tomorrow. I'm upgrading because I'm intrigued by the HRV status and the new Elevate 5 sensor. It's good to hear that you saw an improvement in the body battery. I'm not a runner. I do strength training 3x a week, swim 1-2x a week, and walk. Have you seen any difference in the Venu 2 Elevate 4 sensor vs the Elevate 5 sensor? Thanks for your review.

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Thanks for watching Regina! Yes, I think you've made the right choice. I've only done one strength training session while wearing both Venu 2 Plus and Epix Pro and looking at the heart rates, they're nearly the same. I think more testing is needed especially with exercises that have some kind of wrist movement. And honestly it all comes down to the algorithm using the new sensor, not the sensor itself! Don't forget to add the new skin temperate glance to the glance view and watch my tips and tricks video which I just published.

Thanks for watching José! I don’t recommend upgrading from Epix 2 to Epix Pro unless you definitely need the flashlight. Your watch is awesome and as I said in the video, you'll get all the software features of the new one in future updates. Upgrading to 51mm might make more sense if you're craving that much battery life and a larger display.

My thinking is that the middle one is the right size. It's not too big and heavy and not too small of a display. Plus I want that extra battery life that comes with the 47mm. I think the 42mm would probably look best on your wrist, but at the same time your wrist is not too small, so the 47mm would look just a little big! Do you have the possibility of trying out both sizes on your wrist before doing your purchase like at a local store or something?

@motomoto898 Год назад

@@RyansTechMedia thanks for the reply. Yeah I’m going to go see if they have any on display. The 51mm even longer battery life does entice me .. but I think ultimately this will be the only watch I wear all the time so want it to be comfortable.

@Justgambleit 8 месяцев назад

Go 47mm. I don’t have a huge wrist myself and not only does it look good on my wrist but it feels very comfortable and I rather have comfort over size. 51 would feel to bulky. I love my epix pro. Upgraded from Fenix 6. Love amoled screen and battery life good to as I’m a heavy workout user.

@brownianmotion6319 Год назад

Well, my 51mm has arrived and in white and silver it looks really classy. I hope it stays white. The 26mm definitely moves less on my wrist. They've skimped on the box compared to the Gen2 Epix. But for 2 minutes of caressing then into the bin or sat on the shelf that's an environmental measure I'm fine with. Take note Apple.

@@RyansTechMedia Sorry. My reply has a type-o. I meant to say the Epix 2. I got the only available size, which was the 47mm version. After a little over a week I returned it. It was just too heavy. I find it’s like that with a lot of the high end Garmin devices - they are too big and bulky. I even returned the 955 over that. The Venu 2 is a good size, but of course, lacks a lot of the advanced features.
