The Garmin Epix 2 is one of my favorite sports watches of all time, and I wore it as my main watch for over a year after it came out, running four marathons with it and using it as the barometer by which I judged other sports watches in my reviews.
I only took it off to use the Garmin Epix Pro when it came out, but the Garmin Epix 2 has all the same software features as the Epix Pro, and right now you can get the sapphire model of the Epix 2 at its lowest-ever price of $449 in the Amazon Prime Day sale.
It’s important to note that this is the sapphire model, which has a titanium bezel and is usually more expensive than the steel Epix 2. Not only do you get a more rugged and lightweight design with the titanium watch, which has a sapphire crystal screen, but it also has more accurate multi-band GPS mode, which you don’t get on the steel watch. This is undoubtedly one of the best Prime Day Garmin deals available.
The newer Garmin Epix Pro does have some hardware updates, with a built-in flashlight, a new heart rate sensor and three sizes of the watch available. I rate the Epix Pro very highly and have used it as my main watch for most of the past year, and the built-in flashlight is undoubtedly useful, but the Epix 2 has the same excellent sports tracking, training analysis and navigation features, so getting it for a much lower price than the Epix Pro is a great deal.
White the Garmin Epix 2 is now a regular feature in sales but it’s still surprising to see the sapphire model in particular drop to such a low price for Prime Day, and there’s no other watch available for $449 that can match the features it offers.
