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 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 effort and at a glance. Accuracy is good, battery duration is much less and the watch is expensive, but it would be much more expensive to break my face because of a fall. Would give it 5 stars if the having multi band GPS.
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 regular use with battery life to spare! Looks great, fits great and works great! Solid 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!
