I’ve been welded to my Apple Watch ever since it came out in 2014, but I’ve just spotted a hefty Garmin discount that has me looking sideways for the first time. That’s because I’ve just found the Garmin Epix 2 on sale forAmazon Prime Daywith up to 39% off, now just$549 (was $899.99) in the US, and just£346.67 (was £516) in the UK.

That’s hefty saving on both of $350/$200, almost matching the best price we’ve seen on each.

In ourGarmin Epix 2 reviewwe loved the stunning display, advanced fitness tracking, and accurate GPS complete with excellent maps. You can’t use it to make phone calls, but otherwise this thing puts up some seriously impressive stats versus theApple Watch Ultra.

When you consider the Ultra’s battery life is rated for a maximum of 72 hours, it’s easy to see why this makes such a favorable alternative to the ruggedApple Watch. On test, our only other gripe was that the Epix 2 was the most expensiveGarminto date at launch, a problem easily solved by this massive discount.
