Battery life only thing about this watch
Only like the battery life . If I had known that I would have to pay a yearly fee to use the app , never would have purchased the watch.

Simple to use
Excellent graphics and tracking in a nice relatively thin case. Easy to use. Although I liked it, I replaced a Fenix 7 Pro Solar Sapphire due to its thick case which was difficult to wear with long sleeved shirts.

Awesome Watch
I have had my new Venu X1 for about a month. I love it. It has so many features and they are all easier to use than my previous Garmin watch. The data is easy to read and I love that I can change colors and watch faces.

Best one yet
this is my sixth Garmin watch and by far the best. I really can't think of but one reason to upgrade from here and that would be battery life. Don't get me wrong I am getting 4 to 5 days per charge so it's not bad at all but I get 6 to 7 days with my venu 3.

Venu X1 is Best Garmin Watch Ever
The Venu X1 provides a comprehensive amount of tools I use to monitor and improve my health, fitness and training. The screen size and thin profile make it easy to see and use. I've been using Garmin watches and products for over 35 years.

Great feature!
I’ve had this watch about a month it has a lot of good features that help me track my health and sleep. Still trying to figure out all it can do and am trying to pare some earbuds so I can listen to some music.
So far I am pleased with my purchase!

Great screen
I bought the Venu 3 and then switched the the Venu X1 within about a week. I love the bigger face and brighter screen. It makes it super easy to navigate everything. The battery life difference is my only downside to this watch. Granted, the battery life is still about 5/6 days when I use it to run my HIIT workouts and doing the Garmin 10K plan, so it isnt terrible. It ...

Best in class.
I’ve tried the Fenix 8, 7 and 6, the Forerunner 965 and various other Garmin watches. I’ve also been using an Apple Watch Ultra 2 since October 2024. This gives you the full flagship Garmin fitness watch package with a squad face and bright touch screen display. I’ve been using it for a week and like it more than the Fenix 8 and Forerunner 965. Clear display easy to use...

Beautiful, but too big for my wrist
Loved the screen and weight--truly phenomenal. Square titanium back hit my wrist bone where the round Epix Pro did not. Painful to wear when running and cycling. Also, while I loved the thinness, it's so thin, the two available buttons are difficult to press when engaged in an activity (running, cycling). Had to return.

Great watch with a few bugs.
I love this watch, and the weight, screen size, and battery life are truly amazing. I came from a Descent Mk3i, so the change in size and weight is the biggest difference in my eyes. The screen is responsive and not too complicated to figure out. It only has two buttons, which makes it simple to operate, and I figured it out without going through the manual. The downsid...

Venu x1 feels great
I bought this a month ago because of the bigger screen. I’m old and my vision up close is getting more difficult. This is a game changer as I can now read the numbers! Also so much lighter. I love my fénix 7pro solar however it feels like im running with a brick. This is so light don’t even notice. Battery life short, however haven’t had any issues. Love it

Love it. Great Watch.
It's an awesome alternative to any apple watch while wanting to stay in the garmin family. I'm coming from a vivoactive 5, and it's a solid upgrade. The flashlight is incredinly useful. Still trying to find the right watch face for me, but it's comfortable and easy to use.

Poor battery life and annoying messages.
Overall a good watch. The battery life is very poor and the “good morning my name” and “good evening my name” twice a day is quite annoying. Maybe there is a way to shut them off but I can’t figure it out.

Exceptional smartwatch
The X1 is so much better than the Venu SQ I have had for over three years. What an amazing watch and so easy to use. Sync is way faster and so many more options. Way to go GARMIN!!

Watch is excellent for those who are active and love to get outdoors frequently. Battery life lasts about a week. GPS accuracy is excellent.
