Right off the bat, we should note that we’ve seen the model for as low as about $450 last year. However, Amazon hasn’t offered discounts in the $300 range on the Slate Steel model in quite a while. So, if you find the Sapphire Edition too expensive, even at 35% off, know that the Standard Edition is one perfectly good choice that can now be yours for just under $500. The Epix Gen 2 is easily one of the best Garmin Watch models. It boasts a super sturdy design with a passivated stainless steel case and a superb 1.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen. Also, it has a battery life the Apple Watch Ultra 2 can only envy. We’re talking as much as 16 days on your wrist between charges, something no Apple Watch can promise (or achieve).
Besides the gorgeous screen and the rugged design, the Garmin wearable stands out with highly accurate health and wellness metrics. They’re not simply precise, mind you, but quite detailed as well.
Smart notifications, emergency features, Garmin Pay, multi-band GNSS, and music storage options are all here, too. As you can see, it’s a pretty solid alternative to the Galaxy Watch Ultra and other top smartwatch options.
It may be a bit expensive compared to other smartwatches for Android lovers, even when it’s 38% cheaper than usual. However, the Garmin Epix Gen 2 is a purchase most users will be happy to make. If you think it’s right for you, go ahead and snatch that $301 discount while you still can.
