In reply to Michael. More battery life, touch screen, LED flashlight, and more modes. Not so minor.

Garmin is moving out of fitnes era for some more useless gimic features in the sake of gps accuracy. This is the reason why people are moving towards coros.

In reply to Max. You can turn the venu 2 screen to always be on. Your complaint about the screen during working out is entirely user error, I have a venu 2 set to always on and it works great during any activity.

Although I was initially decided to purchase the Fenix 7, I am now biased towards the Epix 2. My reasons are: - Sapphire glass (a must for me, and it seems that will be standard on the Epix 2). - AMOLED screen. I have an Apple Watch 6 and I have no problem reading its display outdoors in sunny days. - Titanium body (I've seen the back view of a black version of the Epix that clearly says Titanium in it) - I don't really care about the solar function as more than half of my time outdoors I wear jackets or long sleeve clothes and its a pain to leave the watch out... - Battery life: 18 days of the Fenix 7 vs 16 days of the Epix 2...really?... Coming from a watch that has to be charged every day, 16 days sound like music to my ears... Cheers.

In reply to Bowen. I have the Venu 2 and can tell you the AMOLED screen is very bad. Not the screen quality, there Garmin chose a good panel, but the fact that it’s not always on and working out trying to get a glance at the watch is impossible, you have to interrupt your workout to lift your arm or push a button to make the screen visible. The Epix 2 is for people who want to have a nicer looking Apple Watch, not for athletes.

In my opinion the Fenix 7 is just a minor update of the Fenix 6. How much better can a product be? So Garmin is forced to bring something really new. To distract from this it seems they decided to bring a Fenix 7 with a Venu Display. I believe the most tech companies are now in a innovation trap. Consumers expect new groundbreaking features every 2 years but in my opinion this period of time is over. That‘s why I just decided to save some bucks and bought a Fenix 6 Sapphire.

In reply to Bowen. The 1.3” display is a deal breaker for me and others that are using fenix 6x’s 1.4” display. Doesn’t seem like much Of a difference but it’ll be immediately noticeable.

I hear the Epix 2 will have a LTE connection like an Apple Watch or a Galaxy Watch. For some, including me, who play golf, mountain bike, hike, etc., this is mandatory. With the Epix 2 expected to have all the functionality of the Fenix 7, the better question is why have a Fenix 7, unless you don’t need to connect with work, family, or friends or if you want to change your watch during the non-exercising hours. If the AMOLED screen is bad, I take it all back.
