I love testing out the latest Garmin watches like the Fenix 8, but if you’re looking for a new sports watch, the best value is usually found by checking the sales for the previous model.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s made abundantly clear by this incredible discount on the 51mm model of the Garmin Epix Pro, which is reduced to $689 at Amazon right now<\/a>, a $410 saving that brings the watch down to the lowest price I\u2019ve ever seen it.<\/p>\n

The Garmin Epix Pro<\/a> is the predecessor to the Garmin Fenix 8<\/a>, which is undoubtedly a fantastic sports watch but costs over $1000.<\/p>\n

As someone who has used both watches extensively, running marathons with both and using the Epix Pro for a year, I\u2019d say the older model definitely offers better value right now.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s especially true because this deal is on the titanium model of the Epix Pro, which is lighter and more durable than the standard steel watch, and it has a scratch-resistant sapphire screen, so you can be sure it will last you many years of heavy use.<\/p>\n

My Epix Pro barely has a mark on it after a year of everyday use, and I preferred using the larger 51mm model of the watch because of its bigger screen and impressive battery life \u2014 even with the always-on AMOLED screen enabled it lasted me 10 days on a charge when running 70-80 miles a week.<\/p>\n

The core experience is similar<\/p>\n

Newer Garmin models like the Garmin Fenix 8 and Garmin Forerunner 970<\/a> have some upgrades like the addition of a mic and speaker and some new training analysis, but the core experience of using the Epix Pro is similar, and it\u2019s just as accurate a sports tracker.<\/p>\n

It also has Garmin\u2019s latest heart rate sensor on board, which is one of the most accurate optical sensors I\u2019ve tested on a sports watch, and a built-in flashlight, which I\u2019ve found incredibly handy throughout testing.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d prefer a smaller watch the Garmin Epix Pro 47mm is reduced to $699 in the Amazon sale<\/a>. It has a slightly smaller display and shorter battery life than the 51mm watch, and is $10 more expensive, but that\u2019s still a great price if you feel the 51mm is too large for your wrist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I love testing out the latest Garmin watches like the Fenix 8, but if you’re looking for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[1685,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-199376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114714732877880024","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
