But the Epix gives you five buttons that let you navigate the vast majority of its functions. The Apple Watch Ultra does have a new, second assignable button that comes set up out of the box to trigger workouts and features within workouts, like interval and lap marking. The answer is physical, tactile buttons, and the Epix wins hands-down here. And sometimes you don’t really want to take your eyes off the road to log the end of a lap or kick off an interval. Touchscreens, to be honest, can really suck when you’re in motion, or wet, or sweaty or cold. Some of that’s to do with software - and Garmin just gives you more data and more ways to display and analyze it - but a lot of it comes down to the interface. Both devices gather a ton of useful data (and interface with their corresponding mobile apps to offer endless opportunities for analyzing that data, whether you’re just looking for a great fitness tracker or if you’re really into quantifying your performance) but the Epix is simpler to deal with while you’re in motion. It’s simply better equipped to handle the pressures of interaction while you’re working hard, often under difficult conditions. While the Apple Watch Ultra shines in a few specific areas, for the most part the Garmin Epix is overall a better specialized exercise companion. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
