I’ll be honest, much like my colleague Tom Davidson, I’ve often considered the idea of a smartwatch as a bit of a gimmick and thought they were just an unnecessary fad. I mean do I really need a watch that tells me how well I’ve slept and other random health data?
The answer, if I want to become a better cyclist, which I do, is yes. Nowadays being on top of your general health is pretty key to developing as an athlete and a Garmin Epix is the ideal bit of kit to help you do that. Fortunately for anyone on the lookout for an Epix, they’re currently hugely reduced as part of H Samuel’s Black Friday sale. They're also named in Cycling Weekly's best smartwatches for cycling guide too.
