    #1 selling point for me is the MAPS! No need for cellular. It’s all built in. No service, no problem. I can navigate in the backcountry and download any route/trails.

    Shout out from Southeast, Michigan. I am a teacher as well. I have been back and forth on both of these watches forever usually going towards for the Epix 2 Pro. I picked it up for $500 used on ebay about a year ago. The Ultra I am pretty sure i am going to sell at this point. Garmin just hits that sweet spot on giving me the data i care about.

    I got both and I'm the same. I love the AWU but the epix pro is definitely better by a long shot. The software updates made the GPS amazingly accurate compared to the AWU.

    I’d like to see how the maps work on the Epix. I think you need a third party app with the Ultra.

    I bought the Garmin forerunner 965 for the battery life and teal sport and health tracking.

    I was thinking about this one for the longest time. I just like the golf feature on it that was a big selling point for me. How do you like it?

    I’ve had an ultra and an Epix. Get an Epix. I switched to the Ultra and the battery is really annoying. Also, the run splits on the Ultra are constantly off.

    I have the FR955 and I have never had any issues with the gorilla glass. I am thinking about upgrading the Epix Gen 2 Pro, but I may get the standard edition with the gorilla glass instead of the sapphire.
