– Epix Pro has physical hardware for ECG, but is not yet enabled/certified for it (meaning, no ECG today, and no promise of it either) – Completely new optical HR sensor – Garmin Elevate V5 – All three sizes now have a flashlight/torch (previously only the Fenix 7X, Enduro 2, Tactix 7, and Instinct 2X had it)

– The three Epix Pro display sizes are 1.2/1.3″/1.4″ (same as Fenix 7 series), with resolutions of 390x390px, 416x416px, and 454x454px (respectively) – Now three sizes of Epix: 42mm, 47mm, and 51mm (exact same case sizes as Fenix 7 series) And for those of you, here are those specific differences: Or from the existing Epix to the Epix Pro, purely for hardware reasons.

Still, there will undoubtedly be some of you that are going to upgrade from a Fenix 7 to a Fenix 7 Pro.

Garmin sees these as largely incremental upgrades – all new software features are being ported back to the existing Fenix 7 series and Epix units (except the watch faces that say ‘Epix Pro’ or ‘Fenix 7 Pro’ on them). Just like it’s named the Fenix 7 Pro, and not the Fenix 8. Meaning, this is not named the Epix vNext or whatever for a reason. What’s New:Īs is often the case when Garmin adds a ‘Pro’ or ‘Plus’ moniker to an existing product, it represents an in-between upgrade cycle. If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter, which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. Once this unit goes back, I’ll go out and buy my own for any future testing needs. As usual, this review is not sponsored (nor does any company get to preview anything I review), and I don’t take any advertiser money from any companies I review. And alongside that, my wife has been taking out the smaller edition Epix Pro 42mm sized unit in her long-distance training, as well as the smaller 42mm Fenix 7S Pro.įinally, note that Garmin sent over a media loaner to test out. From crazy long trail runs from sea level to the top of an 8,000ft mountain, to doing an Ironman 70.3 race last weekend, to everything in between.

Check out that full in-depth review over here too!Īs usual, I’ve been putting these watches through their paces. Oh, but it’s not just the new Epix Pro today, but also the new Fenix 7 Pro – which essentially matches all the changes of the Epix Pro in terms of new features/hardware, but with the long-battery lasting MIP display instead of AMOLED. All three editions now gain a flashlight feature on the front of the watch, a new optical heart rate sensor package, new Hill Score and Endurance Score stats, and a number of other changes including even better battery life, and multiband-GNSS now being standard. The new Epix Pro series is here, finally bringing the Epix AMOLED display-enabled watch to the same three sizes as the Fenix lineup (42mm, 47mm, and 51mm).
