Garmin Epix 3 – Rumors for 2023/2024 Release?

By Isobel Coughlan. Updated: Feb 25, 2023

Garmin Epix 3

The Garmin Epix range might not be as well known as the Fenix watches, but this will change soon. The Garmin Epix 2 is essentially the same as the Fenix 7 but with an AMOLED screen. Eventually, the Garmin Epix 3 is set to beat out the Fenix range, providing an upgraded fitness and sports option for Garmin users. 

The Epix Gen 2 is still very new. This wearable was released in January 2022, and has been somewhat overshadowed by the Fenix 7 release. These smartwatches are often compared, with each of them coming out on top for different reasons. But, we think that will ultimately change with the release of the Garmin Epix 3. It’s also a matter of preference. Some people prefer the size options, solar charging and flashlight present on the Fenix range while others really like the AMOLED display on the Epix.

Are you a Garmin Epix user? Or are you just intrigued with what the brand will release next? Keep on reading to find out all we know about the third generation of the Epix range. Hint, it’s epic.

    Why Compare The Garmin Epix 3 & Fenix 7?

    Epix 2 vs Fenix 7

    If you’re wondering why the Fenix range keeps coming up in an Epix article, don’t worry. We’ll quickly clear the rivalry up.

    In short, the Epix and Fenix range often battle against each other for the role of a complete fitness smartwatch. Both smartwatches are very similar now and offer similar premium features, smartwatch tools and offer attractive designs. 

    However, the key difference that sets the two apart is that the Fenix range comes with solar charging options and different size options ranging from the smaller 7S to the 7X. The solar charging and less energy-consuming display give the Fenix a better battery life, allowing users to enjoy the watch for longer. The AMOLED display on the other hand is very bright and looks and feels better overall.

    Right now, the Epix range has the same features, but due to the AMOLED screen, the watch doesn’t have solar charging. If the Garmin Epix 3 is released with solar charging and the AMOLED screen, it’ll finally take over the Fenix range. But, it’s up to the Garmin team to mix solar charging and Power Glass technology first. 

    Fenix is a non-AMOLED watch, and when the Garmin Epix 3 can match or beat its charge capacity, it’s game over for the range. 

    What Other Garmin Epix 3 Features Will We See?

    Since the second generation of the Epix range was released earlier this year, many of the wearable features are currently up to date. 

    However, here are some additions we’d like to see on the Garmin Epix 3.

    Flashlight Feature

    An on-wrist flashlight feature is more helpful than you might expect. Smartphone flashlights just don’t live up to the job, so we’d like to see a powerful light on the next model. The Fenix 7 received this update, so it’s possible for the Epix too.

    Size Adjustments

    The Epix 2 only comes in one size – a 47mm case with a 33mm display. While these proportions are attractive, there’s no smaller option for those with smaller wrists. A range of sizes is standard for most smartwatch ranges now, so we want to see this on the next release. 

    Display Aesthetics

    Current Epix users have some suggestions for future updates and models too. From customizable fonts to timezone graphics, some are asking for minor design changes. While these issues aren’t make or break, the small details will give the watch a perfect finish. 

    Wireless Charging

    While Garmin has just released the new Vivomove Trend, it introduced the wireless charging function. We expect to see this new feature in Garmin’s future releases. This new introduction by Garmin is most likely to be enrolled to the next releases. Our readers and Garmin users are very pleased with this feature. Simplifying the charging process.

    Health Features

    Finally, we would like Garmin to give us a better view and monitoring of our health. The new technology that is starting to become available today allows for :

    • ECG
    • Body temperature
    • Menstrual Cycle monitoring
    • Sugar level monitoring
    • Blood pressure indication.

    We want to see all of this and more in the high-end Epix 3 offering from Garmin. Of course, these are our wishes and what will become available remains to be seen.

    The ECG monitoring has just been FDA-approved for Garmin’s Venu 2 Plus. This is great news, for it is more than likely to see this feature with all of the next Garmin releases. It has only been approved in the USA for now, but we believe it would be available world round soon.

    The Bottom Line

    Likely, we won’t see the Garmin Epix 3 for a few years. The second generation has only just been released, and it’s already thriving. But, we’re already keeping our eyes peeled for possible news and updates about this exciting range. As alternatives you may want to consider the Fenix 7 range or even the Marq Gen 2.

      No.

      The Epix is basically a Fenix with an Amoled screen.

      They only took the name “Epix” from a discontinued model line to market them differently. Not all Fenix watches have solar charge. It would not make any sense to put solar charge in a high power consuming amoled watch.

      It really depends on your usage. If you’re outdoors in bright sunlight training or hiking then the Fenix transflective liquid crystal display comes out on top.

      The epix display is a bit worse in direct sunlight but provides a beautiful higher resolution display for all hours of day and a more detailed map experience.

      If you are mainly using the watch outdoors in direct sunlight, especially if you are going hiking for days or more, or if you prefer a non-bright display on your eyes then the Fenix is the best option.

      If you don’t mind a bright display in dark evenings disrupting your eye sight a little bit, or don’t mind a little less readability in direct sunlight doing your activities, and you do mostly day hikes and want a more detailed map experience on the watch and a better resolution for overall usage then epix is a better choice.

      Solar charge is a bit gimmicky you get some juice but not enough.

      What I should expect from the third generation of Epix is the possibility to answer the calls to the connected phone. Only in this way this watch would be unsurpassed.
