Great but not perfect
on October 12, 2025

The watch is operated mainly from the touch screen. Screen size is optimal for large men. I think it will be too big for women or just small men. Great screen and responsiveness is top class. Its thin and not bulky lkke other men watches from same kind. The charging cable is a mess. I wish they change to charge cradle like samsung. . If you are on a trip you can't just grab a USB cable type C . It's garmin proprietary. Go and find one. Battery life around 4 days.

Have had this Garmin 2weeks. Does everything I need and more. Would be better if face had everything explained. Countdown timer? Battery percentage?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're glad to hear you’re enjoying your Venu X1 so far. You can customize your watch face to show additional data like battery percentage, and you can access timers by swiping left from the watch face and selecting Clock > Timer.
If you’d like a full overview of the watch’s features, the owner's manual is a great place to start: http://ms.spr.ly/6429sfvKX

Another great garmin watch. Thinner and lighter.

I'm on my fifth generation garmin watch. While I love my fenix 8X watch, but, as a senior, with thinning skin, it was uncomfortable to wear while I sleep, so I bought a VenuX1. It has all the features I love on my fenix 8X, but is so light and the velcro band so comfortable, I can wear it 24/7 without even knowing it's on my wrist. In addition, it only has two buttons and is more user friendly for an 87 year old.

I got this to replace a Fenix 7 solar that was getting harder and harder to read for my 68 yr old eyes. This thing is awesome, does everything the Fenix did and I can actually see it all happening!
