Garmin epix 3 Pro (Gen 3) Sapphire Solar Edition Launched

The Garmin Epix range is not as well known as their Fenix Sapphire and Solar Edition range watches, but it's rapidly gaining popularity and talk about it in sports circles is growing. While the Garmin Epix 2 was essentially the same watch as the Fenix 7 with an AMOLED screen, the Garmin Epix 3 is set to beat out the Fenix range, providing an upgraded fitness, sports, screen and smart watch option for Garmin users. 

The Epix Gen 2 was released in January 2022, and was somewhat overshadowed by the Fenix 7 release. The Garmin Epix 3 is expected to marry the best for the Fenix range size options, solar charging and flashlight with the Epix AMOLED display.
