This is a great watch with great features. This may be a bit petty, but I hate that it looks so much like an Apple watch. Also, the battery does not last. Lastly, a more friendly band exchange system would go a long way...

Expectation vs. Reality
I started my Garmin venture back with the Fenix 5, but have owned and used extensively, from the Instinct to the Garmin Fenix 7S Pro. My expectation of the X1 was; “Finally a watch that can compete with the daily integrated utility of an Apple Watch, but with the Garmin metrics, tracking, and battery life that I love so much”. At the price point of this watch I would say that I expect a fair bit more out of it. Even when comparing to the Fenix 7 I would say that the Fenix is the better watch when looking at an overall feature rich watch, but with clear expectations of what you are getting vs. what you are paying. The X1 falls short on its marketing of what it can accomplish and replace which is where I give the X1 a 3 out 5 stars. However, when grading the fit, comfort, and style I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. I feel a bit cheated in the amount of money spent on this watch as I expected a bit more from it, where as, when you are buying a, let’s say, a Fenix you truly know what you are getting and the money makes sense. My hope is that Garmin can go back and with some additional R&D make the X1 a real shining star that stands above the rest, but again at this time I feel it is lacking a fair amount to have that title currently.

Great watch
I upgraded from an Apple Watch to the venu x1. I love this watch and the insights it gives me for running. I love how I don’t have to think about my workouts and it just tells me what to do.

Outstanding watch for golf and health metrics
Purchased this watch to replace the excellent Fenix 8 47mm amoled model. Functions are the same in a significantly lighter watch with larger screen. Fewer buttons make the Venu easier to use for me. The touchscreen is responsive and easy to read in bright sunlight. Very customizable.

It's a nice change
I've been wearing the X1 for about 3 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. The screen is bright and easy to read even while running. The voice commend is very helpful while navigating through the functions. My last Garmin was a fenix 7S and this one feels noticeably lighter. It also doesn't get in the way while doing yoga. Every other watch caused friction while binding my hands during certain poses. Not this watch. The X1 is awesome!

Got it’s Up and Down
Good watch, but communication with WiFi or phone is frustrating and the nylon strap is too small. I have to take the strap out of its turn over socket to take the watch off and putting on takes frustrating time
