I got this to replace a Fenix 7 solar that was getting harder and harder to read for my 68 yr old eyes. This thing is awesome, does everything the Fenix did and I can actually see it all happening!

That's certainly not what we like to hear! Please contact our Product Support team at the following link, under Contact Us for More Help, so we can look into available service options: http://ms.spr.ly/6427s77hc
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.
If you’d like a full overview of the watch’s features, the owner's manual is a great place to start: http://ms.spr.ly/6429sfvKX
