Hi Everyone,
I have just bought a Garmin Epix 2 based on some posts i have seen here and all the info they can provide. It is a very complicated bit of kit and i am struggling to get it to work for me. Is there a particular app, or secret settings. I am not very tech savy so any help/tips would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hey mate,

I have the 7X solar which is a step down from the Epix but you have the same settings as I do, there is a SUP setting and a seperate Surf setting in the activities all you need to do is have them as your favourite activities. You can add/change all activities from the watch using the middle button on the left of your watch. Hold it for a second then scroll down to Activities and Apps push the top button on the right of the watch and go from there. I would download the instruction manual from the Garmin web site as well its very helpful.

I should add you can change/add from your PC using the Garmin Connect App

Sure there is a manual. When I had a Garmin watch.
Garmin you tube has specific video on your model.

I have the Fenix 6 and I find the SUP app better than the surf app. It always tracks every wave with an overlay on a Google map for review on the phone after a session. Jim

Yes I use to have the 6X and the SUP app was better, the 7X has improved the Surf app now and tracks very well with the map overlay etc.
