How is it different from the Garmin Fenix 7?

The Epix Gen 2 uses an AMOLED screen, while the Fenix 7 uses a memory-in-pixel display. The Epix screen is brighter and sharper, but the Fenix generally lasts longer per charge.

Does it work with an iPhone?

Yes. It pairs with both Android and iOS over Bluetooth and supports Wi-Fi for syncing. Some phone features are more limited on iOS than on Android.

Does it have cellular connectivity?

No. It has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi only, so calls and messages come through a paired phone.

What is included with the watch?

The watch, a band, a charging cable and documentation. It does not include a wall adapter.
