Garmin Epix Gen 2 Features
DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
The stunning 1.3” always-on AMOLED display brings your watch to life, even under bright sunlight.
TOUCHSCREEN AND BUTTONS
Traditional button controls that work in any environment are matched with a responsive new touchscreen interface for
quick access to selections and map features.
PREMIUM MATERIALS
Fit the watch’s look to your lifestyle with options for a sapphire display, titanium bezel or stainless steel bezel.
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 rate 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.
HEALTH SNAPSHOT™ FEATURE
Log a 2-minute session to record key stats, including heart rate, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox, respiration and
stress. Then generate a report with those stats to share via the Garmin Connect™ app on your compatible smartphone.
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.
SLEEP SCORE AND ADVANCED SLEEP MONITORING
Get a full breakdown of your light, deep and REM sleep stages. View it all on a dedicated widget that includes your
sleep score and insights.
BODY BATTERY™ ENERGY MONITORING
Optimize 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.

for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.

training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.
MTB DYNAMICS
Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics plus specialized 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.
XC SKI DYNAMICS
When paired with the HRM-Pro™ chest strap (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise
load of your cross-country workouts.
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-BAND GNSS SUPPORT

to multiple frequencies sent by navigation satellites for improved position accuracy in areas where GNSS signals are
reflected, weak or typically don't penetrate.

and 3-axis electronic compass.
