Garmin Epix Pro Review: Half Price and a Must-Have for Runners

For regular readers of TechRadar, it’s no secret that Garmin watches have earned a special place in my heart, especially the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2). I first reviewed it upon its release, and it was my trusted companion during the London marathon—alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Its impressive suite of navigational features, including vibrant full-color maps and an exceptional AMOLED display, makes it equally suitable for a smartwatch enthusiast and a rugged training tool.

During my training for the London marathon, I would upload my routes onto the Garmin Epix Pro, which seamlessly guided me during my long weekend runs with turn-by-turn instructions integrated into the workout app. This experience remains the best I’ve encountered with running smartwatches, and I’ve tested quite a few over the years.

One of the standout features of the Garmin Epix Pro is its LED flashlight, a first for Garmin watches, and the incorporation of SatIQ technology, which delivers exceptionally accurate GPS tracking—something only the top-tier Garmin devices boast even today. Moreover, it features the advanced Elevate V5 heart rate monitor. My comparisons between the V5 and its predecessor, the Elevate V4, showed a noticeable improvement in accuracy when pitted against a standard Polar H10 chest strap heart rate monitor.

Recently, I was astonished to discover that the Garmin Epix Pro has reached an incredible half-price deal in the UK—H Samuel is currently offering this versatile watch at a clearance price of £369.99, down from £739.99. While it may be over two years old, this deal presents a tremendous value when compared to the Garmin Fenix 8, particularly since both share the same high-quality AMOLED screen, LED flashlight, Elevate V5 sensor, and an array of other features. Remarkably, this sale is happening even before Black Friday!

Curious if such a great deal was also available in the US, I began exploring options Stateside. While I didn’t find any half-price offerings, notable discounts are still available: the Epix Pro (Gen 2) 51mm is currently priced at $619.99, down from $999.99 at Walmart—a savings of almost $400.

Don’t let its age mislead you; the Epix Pro is packed with up-to-date components offering accurate metrics, robust navigational capabilities, and adventure-ready hardware—making it an exceptional bargain. At present, I firmly believe it’s one of the best values among Garmin’s offerings. However, these deals are fleeting, so it’s wise to grab one while you can!
