Notes

a. ^ The mid-size Fenix 7 and the second-generation Epix are essentially the same watches, except for the display and battery life. The Fenix series continues to use a transflective memory-in-pixel (MiP) display, while the Epix features a bright AMOLED color display, which in turn consumes more battery.[28]
