Hot on the heels of the new Forerunner range launched recently, Garmin has announced details of upgraded models of the premium Epix Pro and Fenix 7 Pro models.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both watches already sit at the top-end of Garmin\u2019s product range (alongside the Enduro<\/a><\/strong>) with every feature you would expect from a multisport watch designed to give you all the feedback and support you need to enhance and track your training and racing. So what\u2019s new in the latest models?<\/p>\n

Epix Pro Series now in three sizes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First up, the new Epix Pro, which we were sent to try out ahead of the launch date.<\/p>\n

Available in three sizes (previously only in a 47mm option), athletes can now choose from a 42mm, 47mm and 51mm option, making it accessible to more wrist sizes in the same way as the Fenix.<\/p>\n

Key here is that the Epix Pro retains its AMOLED screen, as is also included on the Forerunner 265 and 965 this year.<\/p>\n

We chose this model for testing as, with some long open-water swim events planned for the summer, we find the brightness of the screen offers an unrivalled experience under water, with brilliant clarity even in murkier conditions.<\/p>\n

We have the 51mm version on test, which is the largest in the new range.<\/p>\n

Admittedly it\u2019s a little on the large size for this female tester\u2019s wrist, but after a couple of days\u2019 use we didn\u2019t notice it being too big.<\/p>\n

The various tracking sensors, such as heart rate, didn\u2019t seem to struggle to pick up at all, even though we tend to wear our watch a little looser than may be recommended.<\/p>\n

Plus, there was method in our madness here as having the larger screen size again made it really easy to see our stats at a glance under water and also translated well to bike\/run sessions, when you want to quickly look at the watch without spending more than a split second trying to decipher the screen.<\/p>\n

Aside from the three case sizes, what else is new in the Epix Pro? Here\u2019s a breakdown of what\u2019s been added:<\/p>\n
