The missing piece I needed!!

The Venu X1 has far exceeded my expectations so far. Was using an Apple watch prior and really liked it so was nervous to make the switch. All notifications come through the same as Apple watch, the battery life is 10x an Apple Watch (now I can get reliable sleep data because I don’t need to charge every night). Fits the same and aesthetically similar but the Garmin wat...

Venu X1

This is a great watch coming from Apple this does everything as good or better. If I could respond to texts like android users can this would be a home run. That's why I rated it at 4 stars.

Best watch ever!!

I’ve owned a few Garmin watches and this is the best and easiest to use. Love it and fits and looks great too. I want to add another band and that’s all.

So Far Great Upgrade

I upgraded from the Instinct Solar 1 for this watch. Traded battery life for my functions and touch screen.

My only real complaint is there is no where to explain all the icons on the default watch face or instructions on how to modify "THIS FACE" if at all possible.

Great readability for people with prebyopia

I changed my Fenix 8 47mm OLED for the Venu X1 hoping it´s brightness and screen size would impact positively the readability of the running data screens as my presbyopia was making it difficult and it started being a risk to see data while running on uneven terrain. Gains were enormous, the screen is not only bigger but brighter and I can read my data screens without e...

Great Watch!

I had a Garmin Venu 3 which was a great watch! I was looking for an upgrad. I have always been partial to square faced watches. The Venu X1 was perfect! It has most of the features the Venu 3 has plus some others! A large, clear and bright display!!! I was a little concerned about the battery life, but it's only a little shorter. I can still get through a full week of r...

This is an awesome watch!

Thought i needed a golf watch so I got an s62 and upgraded to a s70, it was a great improvement over the s62, however the X1 does everything better than the s70... not as many face options, but a much better and more comfortable watch!

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.

The thinnest and lightest smart watch。

There are many good views about this watch online. I agree with all of them. But I need to provide something that needs to be improved. When I played basketball, the watch kept asking me to do the configuration about the game。 Of course, I lost my tracking.

Big face equals easy reading!

I bought this a month or so ago and use it as my daily wearable, along with my Forerunner 255 as my running watch (I could use the XI...) and the Vivo Smart 5 that I wear to track my steps while playing golf. After watching several videos and reviews on You Tube, it's everything I wanted. Easy to navigate, with only 2 buttons. This and lightweight! Good job Garmin!

Great watch cant wait for future iterations

I’ve been using the Garmin Venu X1 as my daily driver for about a month now, and I absolutely love this watch. The large AMOLED display is stunning and genuinely a pleasure to look at. The thin body and lightweight frame make it so comfortable that I often forget I’m even wearing it.

My only complaints are the absence of dual-frequency GPS and ECG capabilities. Hopef...

Display+Design=Love

Do you really need 14 days of battery life? I thought about it for a while and realized charging more often isn’t a problem if you get a brighter, larger, slimmer display in return. And 20 hours of GPS time is more than enough for a long run or a hike.

Venue x1

Tough one to review, love a lot about it , crazy comfortable to wear , great battery life , easy to read and use maps while hiking , didn’t like the black , preferred the green. In the end I returned, biggest issue is the half baked texting , no use on Apple and the keyboard although easier to use is still kind of a pain really needs a built-in microphone for a speech ...
