Garmin Venu X1 Fitness Smartwatch

Really enjoy the features and functionality. This replaced my old Fenix 5 Plus and I’m very happy with it.

Great screen and useful features for the user interface and the environment

I purchased the X1 a few weeks ago. Still getting used to all the new features. A big change from my Venu 2 Plus. Very happy

I am a fan of smartwatches. Along with my new Venu X1, I currently own and use the Garmin Fenix 8, Venu 3, Apple Watch series 10, AW Ultra 2. With all of my smartwatches, I use it with the AOD enabled. While I really wanted to use my Fenix 8 as my daily wear, its ambient light sensor would reduce my screen brightness so that it was effectively not readable in evening conditions. This was NOT the case with the latest gen of Apple Watches. It does not matter if the peak brightness of a display is 3,000 nits or higher if it is operating at 100 nits or whatever under most real-world conditions. I'm glad to report that the Venu X1's screen is MUCH brighter than the Fenix 8 (not referring to direct sunlight - but in dimmer conditions) and is just as bright or more so than AW even at the lowest brightness. It has become my daily wear watch. Also, I do not miss all the buttons on the Fenix - the operating system for Venu X1 is excellent and I find that I can get to most menu items quicker than on the Fenix. As reported, it is exceptionally comfortable. I had purchased the Garmin 24 mm silicon buckle band thinking that I would not like the supplied stock band. However, the stock band is so comfortable that I have not switched it out yet . I'm very satisfied with my purchase

I have been wearing the Fenix 8 for a couple of years and liked it very much. When the X1 came out it looked to be the Perfect Combination between Venue 2 which I anls have and the Fenix 8. I like the bigger display which helps when your 69 and eye sight isn’t as good as it used to be. I have smaller wrists and was concerned about the size but it fits nicely. It has everything I need in a sports activity and health watch. If you have been on the fence about getting one all I can say is get it you won’t be sorry.

Nothing but easy and simple to use. I have had three Garmin watches and this one really knocks them all out. I would had a better battery life (reality is about 5/6 days). Other than that, WOW.

I have upgraded Garmin smart watches four times. I’m very happy with this one. Definitely worth the money.

This watch is a 1000 times better than the Apple or Samsung Watches would ever bee!
