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.

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.

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.

Cool Watch!!

I enjoy wearing my watch. I like the 2 inch display because it makes it easy to read the content on my watch. I'm also enjoying the fact that I'm not experiencing watch fatigue because it feels light on my wrist. This watch is worth the price.

This watch is nearly perfect.

Long battery, bright screen, high integration capabilities, flexible, comfortable, and just awesome.
I had the Venu 3, which is great, but this watch is a substantial upgrade. I also tried the AppleWatch, but it really is not made for an athlete. This dude is just what I dreamed of having.

Not Better that Venu 3
on October 4, 2025
Posted by: Nipomored
I was fooled by the description that led me to believe the x1 would be better than the Venu 3. It is not, in fact I think it is more difficult to navigate, the sleep monitoring is not at all accurate and the recovery timer is useless because sleep is so inaccurate! I have been a garmin loyalist for many years but I am disappointed in the x1!
