Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 49mm, the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 42mm is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 44mm, where the Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm starts to hang over the edge. Above 49mm both sit cleanly, and the Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm gives you more presence.
The Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm wears larger than the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 42mm (47mm vs 42mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
On the wrist the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 42mm feels lighter (63g vs 78g, case only).
The Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm is thicker than 66% of the 47mm watches we track and the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 42mm than 81% of the 42mm ones — so both sit higher than their widths suggest.
The Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm is 5mm wider, 5mm longer, 0.4mm thicker and 15g heavier than the Epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire 42mm. Both are circular.
