Had my epix over a year, and my forerunner 965 for a week, this is the difference I found, so far that stood out.
- Torch:. When going to the torch, it always goes to the 2nd brightness setting. On the epix ot would go the last brightness level
- Torch: cannot quit out of torch by holding your hand over the screen, on the epix this works
- Garmin Pay: when you purchase an item, it quits out of the card screen. On the epix it stays there until you quit out
- Always on display: Done three night trail runs so far, have the screen to always on for activities, yet it still goes to a blank / black screen. Having to tap the sreen or do a gesture for it to come back. Update Tried again last night and thsi time display did not turn off (which is expected) checked previous runs and they weren't during my Sleep settings.
- Buttons: Not as tactile as the epix, still has a click, but softer
- Audio: from watch the beeps are quieter than the epix.
- Audio: from headphones, very average, base distorts, the callouts distort. Compared to the epix, the epix audio is a lot better (using Shokz Open Rup Pro)
- Altitude calibration: I find setting the Altimeter on Manual, and auto calibrate at night more accurate. On the epix when starting an event, it would self-calibrate, and ask you of ok and give you the current altitude (where you can accept or re-calibrate) on the (965, the same setting it says it does this, but form practice it never does.
- New Bug, when I was navigating a course last night, with touch enabled, the touch to zoom or move the map did not work, the zoom buttons were also not showing. Only has happened the once so far
