Great Golf Watch.

I bought this really just for golf. I had a Garmin golf watch already. My reason for buying it was the larger screen. Better battery life. Updated graphics. I’m very happy with my decision after using it for 10 rounds or so. I find it even more user-friendly than my older model.

Great Wearable….but

Loving the watch, but battery life is more like five days than seven

Not Good - Product Misses The Mark.

Garmin misses the mark with this one. Extremely overpriced device for what it provides. So many omissions such as non dual band gps, far too big screen and poor connectivity. The included nylon strap has only 2,5 velcro attachments, making it less durable, especially for activities. Garmin only includes one band, and charges a premium for replacements, I do not recommend this device.

Perfect For A Cyclist

Went from a Galaxy 3 to this Venu X1. Large bright screen and many features I appreciate. I am a cyclist with many Garmin bike products, so they play well together. I also train indoor on a Wahoo Kickr bike and the Venu X1 connects seamlessly with it. Awesome!

Great Solid Smart Watch

I bought my Venu 1X about a month ago and the main reason was the upgraded sensors that are more user friendly with my tattooed wrist than my Apple Watch which I had to return. I’m very happy with the health metrics I’ve been using with this watch, it’s opened a whole new world to get real time data. I’ll never use all the amazing features this watch provides but the ones I do use will be helpful while navigating the retirement years! Thanks Garmin! Phil J, Carlsbad CA

Another great addition to the Garmin line. My only wish is that it could respond to (non-Garmin) text messages.

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda

I purchased a new venue 3 in the past year and a half that I have since thrown away because my pulse would skyrocket (140+) on the watch while I'm cardio mode. Only going 2 mph at a zero grade, so it wasn't me. Cleaned watch back and wrist several times. Moved along wrist area to find stable measuring point with no luck. I then purchased a venue x1. Loved the colorful screen! The square screen also allowed me to easily view more data, too. Unfortunately, same unstable, high pulse measurements even after calling Garmin support for help. I just gave the watch to my daughter. As the mother of two, she might have a high pulse and be able to use it. Because I LOVE the Connect software, I just decided to try my luck a couple of weeks ago with a new Garmin Instinct 3 thinking that with a different sensor that I'd have better luck with the pulse reading. Nope. I've thrown so much money at Garmin Smart Watches only to be disappointed over and over. It's so sad that their great software has to be paired with, in my experienced opinion, hardware that is so well engineered with such bad sensors. Not sure if they took data while they did live and HALT tests, but you need to try harder, Garmin.

Great Watch But....

Honestly i love this thing the 3 star tho is my disappointment in the fact it's a venu but doesn't share the same ecg capabilities of the normal venu even tho it has everything the venu has for sensors and software like why would you do that???.. other than that it's a fantastic device I've had it long enough to come to really enjoy it but yet to discover all the features lol.

Why Did I Buy This Watch? Read More To Find Out..

I was really hesitant to pull the trigger on this. I've been a Garmin user since the old school giant orange and gray "computer" that was strapped to my wrist. I had a 255 with music and there was nothing wrong with it, but as you know, I wanted to upgrade because, why not? I did a ton of research and used AI to compare the venu x1 to the apple Ultra 2 or 3? Anyway, I stayed loyal (the garmin app is also amazing) and chose this watch. I love it!!! I l love how slim it is, I don't even feel like I'm wearing it. I love the size and brightness of the screen, I love the watch face options, I love love love it. One thing that I do find annoying though, since the screen is a touch screen, I'll be 4 hours into a run and sweating like crazy, sometimes, the screen with change because that sweat is dripping on it etc. other than that...it's a 10/10 for everything it does. Battery life was also a deciding factor, I like how it will show you the # of days that it has left, that's very helpful.

SO FAR I LOVE IT CAN EASLY READ IN BRIGHT SUN AND EASY TO USE

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.

Great Features

Very nice watch, easy to use. Lot of nice features

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.
