We’re heading into arguably the biggest running weekend of the year. The New York City Marathon is this Sunday. Racers from around the globe will be hitting foot to pavement across all five boroughs of the greatest city on Earth. Maybe you are one, know one, or strive to be one some day. Whether you’re gearing up for these 26.2 miles in a few days or just one or two in the morning before work, you need yourself a good running watch. Amazon has the Garmin Epix for 44% off right now. That’s a $400 discount, bringing the price down to just $500 for a limited time.
Your Durable Fitness Friend
This second generation smartwatch is built for athletic lifestyles. The large 1.3-inch AMOLED display is always on, so you can see it clearly whether in total darkness or with the high noon sun reflecting right off of it. Each watch is made with a sapphire display with a titanium bezel to withstand getting tossed and banged around on occasion.
As any good smartwatch does, the Garmin Epix has built-in GPS. While GPS is on, battery life can las up to 30 hours when in always-on mode. if you set it to gesture mode, as in the display only turns on when you position your wrist to look at it, the watch will last up to 42 hours. When not using GPS, the battery can last up to five days in always-on mode or a staggering sixteen days in gesture-mode. This puts smartwatches like the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch to shame, which need to charge every day or two.
More Than for Running
While the watch of course has all sorts of performance metrics and features to gain better insight into your long runs and workouts on the track, the Garmin Epix is built for all kinds of sports. You can even take it to the slopes to view preloaded SkyView maps for over 2,000 ski resorts worldwide.
During the day while you’re not working out or engaged in physical activity, the Garmin Epix fills the need of a standard smartwatch, sending you notifications to keep you connected with friends, family, and colleagues. And with 24/7 health monitoring, you can begin to understand your body better than ever before.
The Garmin Epix second generation GPS smart watch is typically $900. Right now, you can grab one for just $500 — a staggering 44% discount. And if you plan on running the NYC marathon this Sunday, I bet if you order it right this second with Prime, there’s a good chance you can get it on time.
