Gamin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition Smartwatch
The Garmin epix Pro (Gen 2) Sapphire Edition 51mm smartwatch blows the Apple Watch Ultra 2 out of the water, or at least for those with active lifestyles, and you can get one for $689.99 shipped, originally $1,099.99. Battery life is where the Epix Pro first flexes its muscle. Apple’s Ultra 2 boasts 36 hours of juice, respectable for a smartwatch but a mere warm-up for Garmin’s beast. The Epix Pro 51mm stretches up to 31 days in smartwatch mode, 82 hours with GPS, or 17 hours with GPS and music streaming. Product page.
