Porsche Design has previous when it comes to watches, but they tend to be Swiss pieces with automatic mechanical movements. This time around, the company has put its name to a smartwatch.
Normally priced at £899, theGarmin Epix 2is a tough smartwatch, related to the company’sFenix 7and with a chunky metal case, rubber strap and sapphire crystal protecting its display. It’s the kind of go-anywhere, outdoor smartwatch thatAppleis hoping to rival with its newWatch Ultra.

The Porsche x Garmin Epix 2 features a silver colours bezel and black case back, red detailing around the edge of the display and on a button at the two o’clock position, and a Porsche logo on the case back.
Meanwhile, the operating system is full of bespoke Porsche-branded smartwatch faces to pick from, and there’s a tachymetre that runs around the circumference of the screen – a feature of motorsport-derived watches and used to calculate the average speed of an object, like a car, across a known distance.
Like the regular Epix 2, the watch has a 47mm case, AMOLED display and up to 16 days of battery life. The watch can track over 60 sports and exercises, and it has all of the usual health-tracking tech you’d expect from a Garmin smartwatch.
