Deal Details
This is **NOT** the new Pro model that was just released, but is still a current, high-end Garmin GPS watch (that will be getting many of the Pro model's features soon with a firmware update). This is the lowest I've seen it without targeted coupons.

Only Black is available for the epix - but this is the top Sapphire/Titanium model.

https://www.biketiresdirect.com/p...-gps-watch


They also have the Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar at a solid $599.99: https://www.biketiresdirect.com/p...-gps-watch OOS

Again, this is not the Fenix 7 Pro that just came out, but the top of the non-Pro Fenix line. Both the Black DLC/Black case and the Mineral Blue Titanium/White case models are available for the Fenix.

UPDATE: White Fenix 7 is sold out.

UPDATE: White Fenix 7 is back. I think they have 1 left and it disappears when someone adds it to cart, and it reappears if they don't check out.

Or they're trickling out the white Fenix inventory 1 at a time.

If you're downvoting this, please share why. This is the best price I've seen (again, barring targeted coupons, and even that was only slightly cheaper and not published here).

The base model epix has been cheaper ($599), but with half the memory, stainless steel vs Titanium, non-Sapphire glass, etc.

No, this isn't the newest, but If you don't *need* a built-in dedicated LED flashlight and the marginally better new HR sensor of the new Pro, there's not much reason to drop $370 more on the epix Pro Sapphire.

It's a great price... Exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately I cannot pull the trigger quite yet.

Good question, as my network does not want me going to this site. Is it legit?

bought the fenix 7 sapphire solar titanium a few months ago at $700 - great watch
$600 is crazy!
and at this price I'd buy the epix 2 for sure but can't justify it with a 2 month old fenix 7

This replaced my fenix 5 - great upgrade

Yes, they are legit and sell a lot of bike components. I bought a Garmin gps from them this year, and returned it (didn't like it). No probs on the return, although they charged $8 if I recall.

I've gotten a quite pricey roof-mounted bike tray (Kuat Piston SR), and my MTB/gravel shoes from them. Great prices, really quick shipping; no issues.

Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar GPS Watch shows $999 at the same site. I am sure it is better than epix 2!

I just checked to see if bestbuy would price match but they said biketiresdirect is not an authorized distributor for Garmin... still might pull the trigger but am cautious.

wow. this is amazing price. i got the basic version for 599 but would gladly dump another 30 dollar for sapphire.

also, the 599 version came with half the storage so you must pick and choose the topomap, it also have single band GPS whereas this one has dual band

I'd contact Garmin or BikeTiresDirect about that - I don't know how BestBuy would know one way or another. Garmin publishes their authorized physical retailers, but not direct/online only authorized sellers (that I can find, at least).

The stainless finish on the base Epix gave me a (mild but super irritating) allergic reaction on the top of my wrist; the DLC coating on the titanium does not. Another aspect that might benefit some. That was worth it moreso than the storage to me. 😅

Does this have the flashlight?

I'm coming from the Fenix 6x pro. I went with the buy now ask questions later strategy. So I really haven't even researched if this is better than my 6x pro or not
