![]() ![]() Sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP)īoth Epix & Fenix have a touchscreen and optional sapphire screens that offer better protection against scratching. Here you can see all the physical factors are identical…apart from the screen. Of the 3 size formats, this one sells the most. The middle-sized, goldilocks Fenix 7 is essentially the exact same size & weight format as the Epix Gen 2. Sizeįenix 7s is the small one and 7x is the big one. These are the material differences between Fenix 7 and Epix Gen 2. What are the differences between Epix 2 and Garmin Fenix 7? Let’s take a closer look at the more important differences that matter to most people. Simple because the potential sales volumes DEFINITELY WILL be there to justify those new sizes of Epix. But the things that are lacking right now are simple things for Garmin to rectify…like a ‘large’ version and a small version. The Epix still lacks in some aspects whilst winning on prettiness. Maybe also the ‘everything watch’ represented by the Epix will also encourage upgrades from within the Garmin family? I think so.Īs of now in January 2022, it’s not yet so clear cut. They got by with inferior sports features but now they have a new choice and some of them WILL take it. Perhaps those who had an Apple Watch or a Wear OS/Samsung Watch just because they liked the all-day aesthetic. There will be many new customers who have previously wanted to wear a Garmin watch 24×7 but didn’t find it classy enough. #Cannabalisationīut it will be more than just cannibalization. ![]() I reckon that even as soon as Epix 3, the Epix could sell more than the Fenix. We shall probably see Fenix 7+/7 LTE and then Fenix 8 along with Epix Gen2+ and Epix 3. Judging from the clicks on the various links on this site I reckon the interest level amongst existing owners & early adopters is something like One Epix for every Six Fenixes. What I suspect will happen with the simultaneous launches of the Fenix 7 and Epix Gen 2 is that many traditional Fenix owners will be tempted by all the features they know and trust in a pretty shell. But this screen is only found on the Epix and its somewhat inferior cousin the Venu 2 Plus. Garmin now combines awesome, unbeatable sports features with a beautiful screen and some pretty darned good, but not excellent, smart features. The conundrum was that until recently a pretty screen (AMOLED) needed so much power that any watch that used one would only last a day and a half or so…like my Apple Watch 7. Taking this a bit more seriously, Garmin has mostly solved the battery-life conundrum that faces most watchmakers. Plus I’m not quite sure what ashes the Fēnix is rising from. I aspire to be occasionally Epic and maybe you do too? Look here, even Garmin thinks it’s Epic… Image|Garmin That’s never good for branding but, hey, it seems to have worked well so far □ That’s so uncool that almost everyone omits it when they write it down Garmin often does and I usually do too. But it’s a bit boring though, isn’t it? I mean, everyone’s got one.įēnix has a funny accent on the e…nobody likes that. Many athletes, wannabe athletes and fitness fanatics have a Garmin Fenix, I’m one of them. Its screen is WAY prettier, it has a battery life that most athletes need and, well, that’s it. In a nutshell: For the vast majority of people, the Garmin Epix Gen 2 is a better watch. ![]() What are the differences between Epix 2 and Garmin Fenix 7?. ![]()
