Battery life only thing about this watch

Only like the battery life . If I had known that I would have to pay a yearly fee to use the app , never would have purchased the watch.

The thinnest and lightest smart watch。

There are many good views about this watch online. I agree with all of them. But I need to provide something that needs to be improved. When I played basketball, the watch kept asking me to do the configuration about the game。 Of course, I lost my tracking.

Big face equals easy reading!

I bought this a month or so ago and use it as my daily wearable, along with my Forerunner 255 as my running watch (I could use the XI...) and the Vivo Smart 5 that I wear to track my steps while playing golf. After watching several videos and reviews on You Tube, it's everything I wanted. Easy to navigate, with only 2 buttons. This and lightweight! Good job Garmin!

Great watch cant wait for future iterations

I’ve been using the Garmin Venu X1 as my daily driver for about a month now, and I absolutely love this watch. The large AMOLED display is stunning and genuinely a pleasure to look at. The thin body and lightweight frame make it so comfortable that I often forget I’m even wearing it.
My only complaints are the absence of dual-frequency GPS and ECG capabilities. Hopefully, these features can make their way into a future iteration of the Venu line. It would also be great to see Garmin introduce some form of blood pressure monitoring across their watches.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with my new Venu X1.

Display+Design=Love

Do you really need 14 days of battery life? I thought about it for a while and realized charging more often isn’t a problem if you get a brighter, larger, slimmer display in return. And 20 hours of GPS time is more than enough for a long run or a hike.

Venue x1

Tough one to review, love a lot about it , crazy comfortable to wear , great battery life , easy to read and use maps while hiking , didn’t like the black , preferred the green. In the end I returned, biggest issue is the half baked texting , no use on Apple and the keyboard although easier to use is still kind of a pain really needs a built-in microphone for a speech to text. In real LTE or satellite for emergencies would’ve sealed it . Was really hoping this would replace my AWU 3 , but in the end the lifestyle and safety conveniences are too much to give up with the Apple Watch.
Stayed with AWU3 and still have the FR970
