Version/Colour
Overview
A brilliant adventure watch with a stunning crystal clear AMOLED display.
The epix 2 is essentially identical to the fenix 7 accept in one key area. The fenix 7 series uses a 64-colour transflective MIPS screen while the epix 2 has an AMOLED display with 65,000 colours. This makes the epix 2 shine in terms of display brightness, clarity (especially maps) and detail but all this comes at a price - battery performance. If long battery life is what you need then go for the fenix 7, otherwise the epix 2 - it trumps the fenix with this new display.
