I was expecting less but I was wrong, a lot of features and so many functions.

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.

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.

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.

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 watch is far superior in all aspects. Absolutely thrilled with my purchase
