Great features bad battery life

I bought the watch a year ago and I like the watch but the battery does not last long during a longer run.If the battery lasted longer I would give it a five star rating.For the price the battery should last longer.Also,I bought the Fenix 8 51mm and so far I like it.No problems with battery life just have to deal with the weight of the watch.

Great Screen but GPS issue

Unfotunately on my third watch, GPS loss is an issue with this model with no resolution to date. Once GPS connection is lost during an activity, it will never come back. Ive spent hours with Garmin Support (they've been great, (5 Stars), but no resolution to date. They have my prior two watches, I hope they can dig deeper and find the cause and resolution via an update. I really like the watch, the screen is 10/10. Battery life has been no problem, Ive done full Ironman distance with life to spare.

I’ve had the beautiful Venu X1 for several weeks now. This is the most comfortable watch, it’s so light and does not bother me during the day or while I sleep. The display is gorgeous and there have been no problems with battery life - have it set to gesture. It tracks my workouts well. The flashlight and speaker are a real plus. Love it!

Great Golf watch.

I bought this really just for golf. I had a Garmin golf watch already.
My reason for buying it was the larger screen. Better battery life. Updated graphics.

I’m very happy with my decision after using it for 10 rounds or so. I find it even more user-friendly than my older model.

Not good - product misses the mark.

Garmin misses the mark with this one. Extremely overpriced device for what it provides. So many omissions such as non dual band gps, far too big screen and poor connectivity. The included nylon strap has only 2,5 velcro attachments, making it less durable, especially for activities. Garmin only includes one band, and charges a premium for replacements, I do not recommend this device.
