Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) gets a steep $500 discount

Smartwatches have gotten better and better each year, but battery life still remains its main challenges. While Samsung, Google, and even Apple still need to figure this problem out, Garmin has mastered it for years now, with watches that provide over a month of battery life on a single charge. The Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) is packed with features and can last up to 31 days. Furthermore, it can now be had for 50% less, coming in at just $500 for a limited time.

You won't ever go back to the usual

If you've been relying on Wear OS for your smartwatch needs, it's hard to move away from the platform. Brands like Google and Samsung produce excellent hardware, and more importantly, you get the power to expand the watch's capabilities by downloading new apps through the Google Play Store.

However, if you want to just get the best core features like health and fitness tracking, then Garmin has things locked down pretty tight. The Epix Pro (Gen 2) is a great example and one that we really loved in our review. Not only does it feature a bright AMOLED screen, but the battery life is impressive at 31 days.

The watch is packed with all the sensors you need, tracking heart rate, pulse ox, sleep, stress levels, and more. It can help you train with built-in workouts and the Garmin Coach can even get you ready for major fitness events. There's also location tracking for walks and runs, along with times that you just want to go off of the grid.

The watch can also keep you in the loop with notifications, and there's a built-in flashlight for emergencies. Furthermore, you can also pay at supported checkout terminals using Garmin Pay. You get all of this for a great price right now, with the Epix Pro (Gen 2) costing $500. It's not cheap, but it's half the price it used to be.
