Garmin Venu X1 Fitness Smartwatch

Cheap and small wrist band and with navigation on our phone, we do not have to look at our watch. Great battery and display.

So far i love it. but ill say i have not had it very long and definitely have not used it to its full potential. i do question some of the sleep metrices we tend to disagree a lot there. i also have a VERY physical job therefore my watch is always telling me i need a rest day and that i am not ready for a workout. i hopefully this is something that'll change as it learns me.

My wife bought the Garmin Venu X1 for my birthday to replace a worn out Garmin Venu Sq 2 smart watch I've had for years. I'm a cyclist/hiker and the Venu X1 monitors and captures all my bio metrics, GPS tracking adventures. and more. A lot of "bells and whistles" on this one, including a larger, sharp AMOLED screen. The watch is easy to navigate once you're past the initial learning curve. The watch is a bit on the pricey side, but so far I'm liking it!

i "LOVE" my new GVX1. Especially the battery life. But honestly, the watch faces are very limited and wish there were more options. When will Garmin and developers come out with new 'watch faces'? Other than that I would have rated this review 5 stars!

I absolutely love this Garmin. The large screen, thin profile, and flat design are exactly what I’ve been wanting in a fitness watch. It feels light and comfortable instead of bulky, and I really hope Garmin continues this line rather than moving everything toward heavier, rugged watches designed to survive a war. And the battery life? It puts Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch to shame. Being able to actually use a smartwatch without constantly thinking about charging it is a huge part of why I’ve stayed with Garmin for so many years. There are plenty of us who love Garmin but don’t need an ultra-rugged adventure watch. We train differently. I do Hyrox-style workouts, CrossFit, strength training, functional fitness, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I may run as part of a workout, but I’m not a distance runner. I don’t swim and I don’t bike, either. I’ve been a loyal Garmin user for many years, but I’ve often felt like the watches are designed primarily around runners, cyclists, swimmers, and endurance athletes, while people who train like I do are almost an afterthought. I would love to see Garmin continue developing this lighter, thinner style of watch while also expanding the workout and tracking features for functional fitness, Hyrox, CrossFit-style training, strength training, martial arts, and similar sports. We’re out here too, Garmin. We train hard, we love the data, we love the battery life, and we support the brand. Please keep making watches for us too.

Garmin did well. This is a beautiful and functional watch. The battery life is very good.

So I use a forerunner 570 for daily workouts but wanted something different for daily wear. I was unsure about the X1 until is arrived. Super slim and comfortable. Barely notice it’s on even for sleep tracking. Battery life is good, 7-8 days with pulse ox, notifications, voice assistant etc. nice big bright screen. Overall a great purchase for daily wear and sleep tracking. It’s also nice that it has maps and a torch. Great features in a slim design. I got it on sale and I’d say it’s a steal at the sale prices.

I love the upgrade over forerunner(replaced 3 times by Garmin due to case breaking where band attaches). The fact that the band attaches to the titanium caseback was the big plus and should be noted somewhere. I was reluctantly going to move away from Garmin until I saw it in person even though I had to drive out of my way. Only issue I had was on one golf course in GA where it had me stuck on the first hole the entire round.
