I want a smartwatch that doesn’t just count steps and look vaguely sporty. I want something that could double as my wilderness survival kit if it had to. Garmin’s epix Pro Gen 2 Sapphire is exactly that and it’s currently $738 at Amazon, which is $362 off the usual price of $1,099.99. That’s not a casual discount. That’s the kind of cut that could replace half your gear bag.

This thing is unapologetically overbuilt, and I mean that in the best way. A scratch-resistant sapphire lens, titanium bezel, and a 1.4-inch always-on AMOLED display that somehow looks crisp even when you're drenched in sweat. It’s designed for larger wrists, sure, but it’s not clunky. It’s confident.

One of my favorite ridiculous-but-useful features? The built-in flashlight. Not a metaphorical one. An actual LED with strobe modes. Try navigating a campsite or fumbling with gear in the dark and tell me that’s not genius.

Then there’s the training tech. Hill score and endurance score features track how strong you are on inclines and how all your workouts stack up into real-world stamina. Garmin has basically turned this thing into a wearable sports psychologist with its 24/7 health tracking, sleep insights, and morning reports that synthesize your readiness for the day like some kind of wrist-mounted oracle.
