The best overall Garmin watch
on November 11, 2026
Posted by: GarminEndUser
I love the Venu X1. Wear it more than my Fenix 9 Pro. Had a Cirqa, but it was clunky to sleep with. The Venu X1 I barely feel om my wrist. And due to its large screen, I can actually type on the keyboard without making 100,000 mistakes. Only problem I've had is with Outdoor Maps +. It seems to be fussy on adding additional satellite layer maps. But not a deal breaker.

Cheap and small wrist band and with navigation on our phone, we do not have to look at our watch. Great battery and display.

great watch

So far i love it. but ill say i have not had it very long and definitely have not used it to its full potential. i do question some of the sleep metrices we tend to disagree a lot there. i also have a VERY physical job therefore my watch is always telling me i need a rest day and that i am not ready for a workout. i hopefully this is something that'll change as it learns me.

Garming Venu X1 Review
on September 22, 2026
Posted by: kshoward53
My wife bought the Garmin Venu X1 for my birthday to replace a worn out Garmin Venu Sq 2 smart watch I've had for years. I'm a cyclist/hiker and the Venu X1 monitors and captures all my bio metrics, GPS tracking adventures. and more. A lot of "bells and whistles" on this one, including a larger, sharp AMOLED screen. The watch is easy to navigate once you're past the initial learning curve. The watch is a bit on the pricey side, but so far I'm liking it!

Great 1st smartwatch
on September 18, 2026

i "LOVE" my new GVX1. Especially the battery life. But honestly, the watch faces are very limited and wish there were more options. When will Garmin and developers come out with new 'watch faces'? Other than that I would have rated this review 5 stars!

Love it!

I absolutely love this Garmin. The large screen, thin profile, and flat design are exactly what I’ve been wanting in a fitness watch. It feels light and comfortable instead of bulky, and I really hope Garmin continues this line rather than moving everything toward heavier, rugged watches designed to survive a war.
And the battery life? It puts Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch to shame. Being able to actually use a smartwatch without constantly thinking about charging it is a huge part of why I’ve stayed with Garmin for so many years.
There are plenty of us who love Garmin but don’t need an ultra-rugged adventure watch. We train differently. I do Hyrox-style workouts, CrossFit, strength training, functional fitness, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I may run as part of a workout, but I’m not a distance runner. I don’t swim and I don’t bike, either.
I’ve been a loyal Garmin user for many years, but I’ve often felt like the watches are designed primarily around runners, cyclists, swimmers, and endurance athletes, while people who train like I do are almost an afterthought.
I would love to see Garmin continue developing this lighter, thinner style of watch while also expanding the workout and tracking features for functional fitness, Hyrox, CrossFit-style training, strength training, martial arts, and similar sports.
We’re out here too, Garmin. We train hard, we love the data, we love the battery life, and we support the brand. Please keep making watches for us too.
