Great screen
on March 4, 2026
Posted by: San45
I bought the Venu 3 and then switched the the Venu X1 within about a week. I love the bigger face and brighter screen. It makes it super easy to navigate everything. The battery life difference is my only downside to this watch. Granted, the battery life is still about 5/6 days when I use it to run my HIIT workouts and doing the Garmin 10K plan, so it isnt terrible. It just isnt anything close to the Venu 3.

Best in class.

I’ve tried the Fenix 8, 7 and 6, the Forerunner 965 and various other Garmin watches. I’ve also been using an Apple Watch Ultra 2 since October 2024. This gives you the full flagship Garmin fitness watch package with a squad face and bright touch screen display. I’ve been using it for a week and like it more than the Fenix 8 and Forerunner 965. Clear display easy to use touch screen. This is a multiport watch for those seeking a cleaning cooler watch esthetic.

Beautiful, but too big for my wrist
on February 22, 2026
Posted by: Hoosier Runner
Loved the screen and weight--truly phenomenal. Square titanium back hit my wrist bone where the round Epix Pro did not. Painful to wear when running and cycling. Also, while I loved the thinness, it's so thin, the two available buttons are difficult to press when engaged in an activity (running, cycling). Had to return.

This product does it all! The screen is large so it is easy to see and it tracks my sleep and daily activities so well!

Great watch with a few bugs.
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: Koshka73
I love this watch, and the weight, screen size, and battery life are truly amazing. I came from a Descent Mk3i, so the change in size and weight is the biggest difference in my eyes. The screen is responsive and not too complicated to figure out. It only has two buttons, which makes it simple to operate, and I figured it out without going through the manual. The downside is that there are a few bugs that need to be worked out. If I get multiple messages at once, for instance, two or more emails (Gmail), I have multiple options for dealing with the first one (Dismiss, archive, Delete, Mark as read, Reply, or Block App), but the second message to come through only gives me Dismiss and Block App. I get a lot of junk email that I would love to be able to get rid of without pulling out my phone or getting on a computer, and my Pixel phone has a tendency to cache my notifications for emails and other apps and then send them all at once. I just want to have the same options for every notification. That being said, this watch is awesome, and these problems are easily addressed in software.

Venu x1 feels great
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: charlesp785
I bought this a month ago because of the bigger screen. I’m old and my vision up close is getting more difficult. This is a game changer as I can now read the numbers! Also so much lighter. I love my fénix 7pro solar however it feels like im running with a brick. This is so light don’t even notice. Battery life short, however haven’t had any issues. Love it
