If you’re looking for a new smartwatch that not only looks good, but delivers on the feature front, look no further than the Garmin Epix (Gen 2) and, right now, you can save almost £400 off its asking price, as it’s been reduced from £749.99 to £374.99 at H.Samuel.

Ok, so it still may not be one of the cheapest Garmin watches on the market, but it’s a pretty crazy saving nonetheless. Especially for one of Garmin’s premium, and top-rated rugged watches. In our Garmin Epix 2 review we even awarded it a commendable four stars, as it has much to be applauded, which we’ll quickly dive into below.

First and foremost, this isn’t just a good-looking smartwatch, it’s a great-looking smartwatch. The AMOLED touchscreen is bright, beautiful, and in general, just a joy to look at, who wouldn't want this watch on their wrist? Not to mention its luxe look will pair perfectly with your smart-casual attire.

Looks can often be deceiving though, thankfully, this isn’t the case with the Epix (Gen 2) as it’s packed with heaps of smart, health and wellness features, that you probably won’t get around to using them all. These include stress tracking, an Elevate V4 optical heart rate sensor (to measure your heart rate all day long), body battery, sleep score, hydration tracking, topographic maps, animated on-screen workouts, and more!

This smartwatch also has an amazing battery life (for an AMOLED smartwatch at least) lasting up to 16 days in smartwatch mode with the GPS turned off, so you’ll be able to get decent usage out of all the features. We definitely think it's one of the best Garmin watches out there.
