![]() Winner: Apple wins out in the display department with more screen real-estate and a brighter display. With Apple, we do not know yet how many different metrics it can fit and how but with a 49mm display that is larger than the Garmin by a bit ( and with greater resolution), it should be possible that it edges Garmin out with information display.Īs for that resolution, the Garmin Epix 2 and the Apple Watch Ultra have pretty similar resolutions with Garmin at 416 x 416 and Apple at 410 x 502 pixels. Both beat out the Garmin Fenix 7 by double. Garmin has used their display shape very well and you can put up to 8 different metrics on the 47mm display. Garmin uses a rounded display while Apple uses a semi-rounded rectangular display so they are not exactly the same. Also, the display is a Sapphire glass which will also provide better protection than other Apple Watch versions. This means that it should be better protected and even easier for touchscreen operation. The display is also now flattened instead of the rounded edges of the the other Apple Watch versions. This is till at least double the Apple Watch Ultra with similar displays. With GPS, you get up to 42 hours or 30 hours with always on display. ![]() The Garmin Epix 2 has the AMOLED display and gives you up to 16 days in smartwatch mode or 6 days in always on mode. While this is impressive over the regular Apple Watch, it falls far short of the Garmin Fenix 7 which will give you up to 57 hours of GPS use, or longer with solar power. So, I think it is fair to say we are looking at GPS use from either 10 – 15 hours, or maybe a little more in real-life use. With finishing times up to 17 hours, that is great news but we have to wait to see what Apple will have to disable to allow this to happen. They also say there is a low power mode that will let you use it for an Ironman Triathlon. In that 60 hour battery life arena, that will include a 15 hour workout and things like 600 time checks, 35 minutes of app use, 3 minutes of talk, 15 hours of sleep tracking, etc. Later this year, there will be a longer battery life option that will offer up to 60 hours. Here is what we know.Īpple says the “all-day use” battery life is now double the regular Apple Watch at 36 hours. This is thanks to Apple’s vagueness with their battery specs. Unfortunately, the battery life is not something as simple as numbers. This is one of the biggest things people want to know about with the new Apple Watch Ultra. So, I will talk mostly about the Fenix 7. But, except for that and except for solar options on the Fenix 7, the Epix 2 and the Fenix 7 Sapphire models are the same. ![]() Let me start with this – I mention the Epix 2 because many people will wonder about it since it has the AMOLED display like the Apple Watch. ![]()
