Could The Garmin Epix 3 Be On The Way?

The Garmin Epix range might not be as well known as the Fenix watches, but this will change soon. The Garmin Epix 3 is set to beat out the Fenix range, providing a new 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 overshadowed by the Fenix 7 release. These smartwatches are often compared, with the Fenix range coming out on top. But, we think that will all change with the release of the Garmin Epix 3. 

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?

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 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. This gives the Fenix a better battery life, allowing users to enjoy the watch for longer. 

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. 

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. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
