The Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition is a 47mm multisport GPS smartwatch with a 1.3-inch always-on AMOLED display, a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, and a titanium bezel. The watch handles serious training and outdoor use with built-in topographic maps, multi-GNSS navigation, a built-in LED flashlight, and 32GB of memory for offline music. A single charge lasts up to 16 days in smartwatch mode and 30 hours of continuous GPS tracking, making the epix Pro a watch you can take on multi-day backpacking trips or long expeditions without nightly charging.
A full-featured smartwatch that can do everything your workouts require
The 1.3-inch always-on AMOLED has deep blacks and remains visible in bright sunlight. It’s protected by a sapphire crystal lens that resists scuffs and scratches, and the titanium bezel keeps the watch lightweight yet durable. You also get a built-in LED flashlight with a strobe light, which makes late-night runs much safer.
Advanced training features include a hill score that measures running strength and endurance during ascents over time, and an endurance score that combines data from all athletic pursuits to gauge overall conditioning. Wrist-based running power calculates output without a separate power meter, and dedicated strength training modes track sets, reps, and rest. Training readiness pulls together sleep, recovery time, HRV, training load, and stress to give a daily score that signals whether to push or back off.
Built-in sensors track heart rate, advanced sleep stages, HRV status, Pulse Ox, respiration, and stress around the clock, with a Morning Report that summarizes recovery, weather, and training suggestions when you wake up. Multi-band, multi-GNSS positioning uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS for accurate tracking under tree cover, in canyons, or near tall buildings. Preloaded topographic maps and ski maps for over 2,000 worldwide resorts let you navigate offline without pulling out a phone.
A single charge lasts 16 days in smartwatch mode, 6 days with the always-on display enabled, or 30 hours of GPS tracking, dropping to 20 hours with all GNSS systems running. A 32GB internal memory holds offline music libraries from Spotify, Amazon Music, or Deezer, plus Garmin Pay for contactless payments at supported terminals. The watch pairs with a phone over Bluetooth for notifications, calls, and the Garmin Connect app, with ANT+ for compatible sensors like power meters or chest straps.
With a $500 discount off the original retail price of $1000, the Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition is on sale for half the original MSRP. That places this ultra-premium multisport GPS watch with a high-resolution AMOLED display, sapphire crystal, titanium construction, and a flashlight in the middle of the price range for mid-range fitness watches.
