Adding Hot Keys to an epix Gen 2 or epix Pro Gen 2 watch

The epix™ (Gen 2) and epix™ Pro (Gen 2) watches offer hot key options which allow for the customization of buttons to quickly access specific settings or options on the watch. This allows for assigning shortcuts to the watch buttons instead of needing to make the selections from the watch menus. The video below walks through the steps to customize your hot key shortcuts on a fēnix® 7 watch, but the process is the same on your epix (Gen 2) or epix Pro (Gen 2) watch.

  1. Hold UP to open the menu.
  2. Select System.
  3. Select Hot Keys.
