Garmin Venu X1 Vert

Venu x1 is an excellent upgrade from my 4.5 years old 945 LTE. For this 78 year old the bright big screens are perfect :). I use it for running, cycling, rowing, swimming, strength training and yoga. The data I can monitor (power, training effects, loads, vertical ratio and oscillation, much more) are valuable for training. Being able to see much of the same information as on the Garmin Connect app and browser is useful. It did take seven days of reviewing the manual and many YouTube videos.

Love it! Had the Venu 2 but X1 is a whole different level and size. Great purchase! Looks and feels great. The only negative I have is the velcro band. I went out and bought a beefy silicone band to match the watch.

this device is constantly rebooting. I've seen the blue triangle more than any data. I cannot even get a decent step count when on a walk. It does manage to keep time.

Not for a small wrist. I really wanted to like this watch, and it has a ton of amazing features. The large, thin face is great is probably the best out there. However, I have a small circumstance wrist and it just didn't fit me.

Fantastic watch! I feel like I was dreaming about what a future watch might look like and this is almost it. DC Rainmaker says it "this is a very very good watch" it feels a little bit like an Apple watch Ultra but it's super thin and lightweight, it feels a lot like a Fenix 8 with its UI and sport capabilities, it feels a lot like a Garmin Venu which it is, but it's a little more than all those by being less. This is the thinnest smartwatch I've ever seen. I've had a lot of Garmin watches, Samsung Ultra, other Samsung's, etc. in traditional watch terms, form factor is fabulous! Sure it doesn't have the battery life of some Garmin watches, but I get 7 days with it I use it for sleep, workouts, messaging, phone calls occasionally, excellent.
