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.

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.

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.
