Garmin claims "The Epix Pro is the ultimate smartwatch designed to perform all day and night". A quick look at the features and you would be forgiven to think this is a Garmin Edge 1050, not a 47mm watch that you can carry around anywhere. We are big fans of the Epix 2 here at Cycling Weekly, so if thats anything to go by, with such a big discount you would be silly not to indulge.

Really the only thing the Garmin Forerunner 255 doesn't support is mapping. For everything a cyclist needs, it's pretty much spot on. If you are after function over form the 255 is really where it's at.
