Smartwatches like the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) are now coming with AMOLED displays in addition to traditional sports watches. Garmin first introduced an AMOLED display in the Venu watch in 2019, and then in 2022, they offered the Epix (2nd Gen) model as its first high-end watch with AMOLED. Since then, the company has expanded the AMOLED feature to other models, such as the Forerunner 965 and 265 devices.
The Epix Pro (Gen 2) comes in a range of sizes and options and includes an AMOLED display with prices ranging from $899.99 to $1,099.99. It also includes an integrated LED flashlight, as well as a red shift mode for low-light conditions. In addition, the AMOLED display allows for detailed maps to provide more useful information, such as weather map overlays and relief shading on topographic maps.
The device includes a typical Garmin five-button navigation system, as well as a touchscreen, and with the always-on display option enabled, it can get about six days of battery life. New features such as hill scores and endurance score have been introduced to provide additional health and fitness metrics for the user.
In summary, the Garmin Epix Pro offers accurate GPS tracking, heart-rate tracking, and numerous health and fitness metrics. It is a powerful and elegant watch with a vast ecosystem to help users train and improve their performance and lifestyle.
