The American multisport watch brand Garmin has introduced a line up of Pro models for its running series Fenix 7 and Epix 2. Let’s explore the specifications of the pro models and what they have to offer in their new price range.
Key Specifications: Garmin Epix 2 Pro
The Garmin Epix 2 Pro will be featuring three different display sizes which are 1.2”, 1.3” or a 1.4” display with 42mm, 47mm or a 51mm model dimensions respectively. Previously, the Epix 2 only featured the 47mm or 1.3” display size.
The Epix line sports an AMOLED display and with the 47mm Pro models it is claimed that the watch can last up to 16 days in smartwatch mode while 6 days with the Always-On Display mode switched on. The watch can support GPS tracking which will result in the battery life lasting for almost 42 hours and 32 hours if the accurate multi-band mode is enabled.

However, the fidelity for AMOLED is better.
The Fenix 2 Pro allegedly holds 22 days of battery life with 73 hours of GPS tracking and 48 hours if you have multi-band switched on.
