Which one fits you

Both need much the same wrist — roughly 44–61mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.

The Epix Pro Gen 2 Standard Edition 42mm and Forerunner 570 42mm share a near-identical 42mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.

The Forerunner 570 42mm is the slimmer of the two (12.9mm vs 14.2mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.

On the wrist the Forerunner 570 42mm feels lighter (42g vs 63g, case only).

Among the 655 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Epix Pro Gen 2 Standard Edition 42mm is thicker than 82% — it will sit high even though the case width reads modest.

The Forerunner 570 42mm is middle-of-the-pack for thickness among the 720 42mm watches in the database.

The Forerunner 570 42mm is 0.4mm wider, 0.4mm longer, 1.3mm thinner and 21g lighter than the Epix Pro Gen 2 Standard Edition 42mm. Both are circular.

Fit tool

Watch Fit Tool

For sports watches, lug-to-lug (L2L) is what matters most — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.

Your wrist

≈ 146.9mm around

Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Standard Edition | 42 mm

Case 42.0mm · Lug-to-lug 42.0mm · Thickness 14.2mm · 63g

Balanced Fit

42mm on a 55mm wrist

10:09TUE 12lug to lug 42.0mmyour wrist 55.0mm

Across the wrist it works — 6.5mm spare each side — but a tall watch on this wrist. Fine over a sleeve, awkward under one.

On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 42mm, so you could go bigger.

How to Measure

Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.

  1. 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
  2. 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
