Garmin epix GPS Watch

At 3oz and 2” across, this model makes the most of the real estate on your arm. And grabs hold of surrounding terrain to map and navigate via a fingertip-managed color screen. Perhaps most critically, Active Junky favors Epix’s ability to find, lock and even correct position quickly thanks to the EXO antenna and HotFit application (overcoming a major flaw in many competitive models). Personalized to fit one or more activities centered on cycling, hiking, running and swimming, it takes some time to capitalize on all the functions. Weather functions are simply the start and testers appreciated the thorough waypoint system. Battery life is exceptional in a fast-charging, well-balanced watch that’s water resistant to 100m. So much to say but we’re off for ice climbing on Mount Baker.
