Great slim garmin

So I use a forerunner 570 for daily workouts but wanted something different for daily wear. I was unsure about the X1 until is arrived. Super slim and comfortable. Barely notice it’s on even for sleep tracking. Battery life is good, 7-8 days with pulse ox, notifications, voice assistant etc. nice big bright screen. Overall a great purchase for daily wear and sleep tracking. It’s also nice that it has maps and a torch. Great features in a slim design. I got it on sale and I’d say it’s a steal at the sale prices.
I love the upgrade over forerunner(replaced 3 times by Garmin due to case breaking where band attaches). The fact that the band attaches to the titanium caseback was the big plus and should be noted somewhere. I was reluctantly going to move away from Garmin until I saw it in person even though I had to drive out of my way. Only issue I had was on one golf course in GA where it had me stuck on the first hole the entire round.
I've had it about a week and love it. It was an upgrade to my old Garmin S20. My golf rounds didn't sync to the phone Garmin App. I tried all suggestions without success. I finally uninstalled Garmin connect, restarted the phone and reinstalled Garmin Connect. Now everything works perfect! The functions on this Venu X1 mind blowing!
Great health watch! I am still learning how to use it. I have had a Approach S70 golf watch for years and purchased the Venu X1 for health monitoring Walking and routine living. At 81 years of age I face some health problems that this watch will help me monitor my heart, pulse oximeter, steps, body battery, and MOVE IQ.
Too much of what you don't need on a smart watch, especially a Garmin product. What I do like is the Garmin interface with my iPhone such as time, notifications, focus, and battery life. All of the sports junk is just that, junk. Maybe someone who has little or no understanding of their physical fitness profile would need all of the irrelevant trinkets just as a participation trophy. Cubicle monkeys are ruining the electronics world because they LACK experience at ground zero.
I would NOT recommend this product to those who make the world safe. I have owned Garmin products for decades and I am disappointed with the Venu X1. The name should have been a red flag for me.
Great watch! Love the large screen. Golf app is fantastic as is the ability to create a custom workout. Battery life is great. GPS on the golf app uses a lot of battery but that is too be expected. Even with that, the battery lasts longer than my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. Easy to use and provides useful health data. Highly recommend the Venu X1!
I enjoy all the different functions it has. Waiting to try golf with it. Wrist band a little tough to get off but overall very good. Garmin makes an outstanding product!
