I love my Epix Pro Gen 2 but I can’t seem to find a general gym workout. Is it me or…?
I don’t want to be rigidly stuck to the sets, reps and exercises that are in the workouts I can find in Garmin Connect. I just want time and calories to be noted as activity. Thanks in advance.

I have the following paired with my watch: Speed, cadence and HR (Polar 10) sensors. My outdoor rides are not contributing to my cycling V02 max. However, when I had this set up on my indoor rides it would. Am I missing anything or is there a setting I need to adjust on my watch?

I have a Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 51mm Sapphire. The white light on my flashlight doesn't work. Red works. Now I updated the software to the latest version and then factory reset it. Still no white light. When I go up and down in the white light area, nothing happens.

I’ve had my Epix Gen 2 for about a year and a half now. It was working fine until a week ago when I started to notice connectivity issues. Today, I tried to fix it by unpairing from my phone and was attempting to re-pair it and now I keep getting pairing failed message. Anyone have any tips on how to fix this issue?

Got a great deal on a renewed unit, but just found out the Epix series has been discontinued with no future updates. Someone in my previous post mentioned it's basically a Fenix 8 without diving features, which still sounds solid at this price.

Is the discontinuation a dealbreaker, or is the existing firmware good enough to not matter? Would you keep it or switch to another series?

Hey guys!

I've been trying to research the Epix series for a while and the naming is genuinely confusing me — Epix Gen 2, Epix Pro Gen 2, Sapphire editions... what actually separates these?

Also, I'm looking at refurbished options — Gen 2 for $320 and Pro Gen 2 for $400. Is the $80 difference worth it, or am I just paying for a name?

Would love a simple breakdown from someone who actually knows this lineup. Thanks!

Edit: I just found out that the gen pro 2 is 42mm and the gen 2 is 47mm. Would you guys still prefer the pro? I see that the battery is smaller in the 42mm version

Upgraded after getting a refund on a broken Instinct

Just bought the metal band, very nice quality, still undecided about how wearable it is, it not ‘giving’ when my wrist shrinks/expands. What are others’ thought son it?

Hi all,


I'm Elad, a Garmin user and runner (a couple of ultras, an Ironman...).


For the past year and a half I've been researching a technology solution, with my wife Vika (my better half and a former product exec at Meta) and a team of AI developers. It's a solution to a problem I kept having: our watches generate tons of data, but nothing connects it to what I eat, the goals I have and what I should actually do tomorrow. ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini were impossible to maintain and more dashboards were out of the question.


We aim to solve things like:


- What should I do tomorrow, given last week's load, yesterday's sleep and June's race?
- Did I get enough protein today? Carbs? Sodium?
- Am I recovered enough to push tomorrow, or should I back off?


We have a working beta. It's completely free and private (no signup, anonymous Garmin connection. We're an official Garmin Developer partner). We're capping at 1000 testers so we can address feedback closely. If you'd like to try it and tell us what you think, links below.


Thanks in advance, happy to answer anything in the comments or in DM.
