epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm — Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm fit my wrist?

The Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm looks balanced on flat wrist widths of roughly 54–73mm (about 14.4–19.5cm circumference). Drag the slider above to check it against your own measurement.

What size band does the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm take?

26mm. Any 26mm strap fits, so you are not limited to Garmin's own bands — look for a quick-release fitting if you want to swap without tools.

How long does the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm battery last?

Between 17 hours and 41 days per charge, depending on the power mode. Garmin rates Battery Saver at 41 days and All Satellite Systems + Music at 17 hours; the chart above lists all 8 modes.

How does the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm battery compare with other Garmin watches?

At 31 days in everyday use it ranks #24 of the 257 Garmin watches in our database — the top 9% of the range. The full ranking, including GPS and power-saving figures, is on our Garmin battery life comparison.

Is the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm thick for a 51mm watch?

At 15mm, middle of the pack for thickness at this width. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

Should I get the 42mm, 47mm or 51mm epix Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition?

The epix Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition comes in 3 case sizes — 42mm, 47mm, 51mm. Which one suits you depends on the flat width of your wrist rather than preference: the larger sizes need a wider wrist to sit inside the edge. Set your measurement in the size picker above and each variant reports its clearance in millimetres.

What other watches are the same size as the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm?

Huawei Watch D, Omega Seamaster Chrono-Quartz, Tissot Lepine Mechanical all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin epix™ Pro (Gen 2) – Sapphire Edition | 51 mm's 51mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
