Garmin
epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 42 mm (010-02802-10)
The Garmin D2™ Delta S and Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 42 mm share a near-identical 42mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.
The Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 42 mm is the slimmer of the two (14.2mm vs 15.4mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 42 mm feels lighter (63g vs 65g, case only).
