Our quick verdict
A thin, light Garmin with a huge bright screen, maps and the full training toolkit. It’s still expensive, and the always-on display cuts battery life, but it’s Garmin’s most stylish all-rounder.
Great for
- Runners, cyclists and gym users
- Anyone who wants maps on the wrist
- Android and iPhone users
Skip it if
- You want the longest battery life
- You need LTE without your phone
The Venu X1 is Garmin’s premium smartwatch with a large AMOLED screen, a slim 7.9mm case, offline maps and Garmin’s full set of training and health tools.
Key features
- Large, bright AMOLED touchscreen with sapphire glass
- Offline colour maps and 32GB storage for music
- Built-in LED torch
- Up to 8 days battery in smartwatch mode (Garmin’s figure)
What reviewers say
TechRadar called it a fantastic watch and a real alternative to the Apple Watch Ultra, praising the bright screen, full training features and slim, comfortable design.
It found battery life drops sharply with the always-on display, and the interface feels less polished than Apple’s.
