Verdict

The Garmin Epix is a reliable and durable watch that can take a beating. It has a long battery life, with up to 6 days AOD on and 16 days AOD off. However, it lacks in step-by-step usage instructions for new users, and its calendar and weather updates are often inaccurate or outdated.

Despite these drawbacks, the Garmin Epix is still an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and durable watch.
