Garmin epix ™ (Gen 2) Sports Watch (Slate Steel)

DESCRIPTION

Designed for Your Lifestyle
The stunning 1.3″ always-on AMOLED display brings your watch to life, even under bright sunlight.

Touchscreen and Buttons
Trusted button controls that work in any environment are matched with a responsive new touchscreen interface for quick access to selections and map features.

Pulse Ox
For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox sensor2 uses light beams at your wrist to estimate how well your body is absorbing oxygen.

Wrist-Based Heart Rate
The watch constantly samples your heart rate3 and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities — even while swimming.

Respiration Tracking
See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities.

Stress Tracking
Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.

Body Battery™ Energy Monitoring
Optimise your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

Hydration Tracking
Log your daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. You can even have an auto goal for hydration that adjusts based on how much you sweat during activities.

Sports Apps
Use preloaded activity profiles for trail running, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, surfing, indoor climbing and more.

Animated Workouts
This watch features easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts you can view on the watch screen. Choose from preloaded animated workouts or download more from the Garmin Connect™ online community when paired with your compatible device.

HIIT Workouts
Use this activity profile with different timers to track your HIIT workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.

Garmin Coach
These free adaptive training plans feature guidance from expert coaches and adapt to you and your goals. Workouts sync right to your watch from Garmin Connect.

Visual Race Predictor
Based on your running history and overall fitness level, this feature provides an estimate of what your pace could be for the distance you want to run. Trend data shows how your training is having an impact over time.

PacePro™ Technology
A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.

VO2 Max
Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. It adjusts for trail running and accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.

Real-Time Stamina
Track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike.

Daily Workout Suggestions
For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily run and ride recommendations based on your current training load and training status.

Recovery Time
After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.

MTB Dynamics
Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics, plus specialised Grit™ and Flow™ measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.

Backcountry Ski
Stay informed when you’re in the snow. This preloaded profile helps distinguish between skiing and climbing. It shows metrics specific to either ascent or descent.

Surf-Ready Features
This watch works with the Surfline® widget to give you tides, wave height, wind and surf rating for the five nearest locations and also works with the Surfline Sessions™ app to create videos of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline camera.

Multi-GNSS Support
Access multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO). Access multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites for improved position accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are reflected, weak or typically don't penetrate.

ABC Sensors
Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, barometer to monitor weather and 3-axis electronic compass.

Acclimation
This widget shows your current elevation, acclimated elevation and correlated Pulse Ox2, heart rate3 and respiration rate, so you can see how you’re holding up to the current elevation.

Multi-Continent Topoactive Maps
Download TopoActive maps via Wi-Fi® connectivity from around the world — or get your local region preloaded on the Sapphire edition watch — to keep your explorations on track. View terrain contours, elevations, summits, parks, coastlines, rivers, lakes and other geographical features.

Ski Maps
Hit the slopes with preloaded topographical maps and use SkiView™ maps to view run names and difficulty ratings for more than 2,000 ski resorts worldwide.

Golf Courses
Access full-colour CourseView maps for more than 42,000 golf courses around the world, and get touch targeting and the PlaysLike Distance feature.

Turn-By-Turn Navigation
Follow a route or course with help from turn-by-turn directions, which let you know ahead of time when the next turn is coming.

Smart Notifications
Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with your compatible smartphone.

Safety and Tracking Features
