I had my eye on the Apple Watch for some time, but I am very glad I went for the Venu X1! The design is beautiful with the large, yet very flat screen. The watch goes just as well with a t-shirt as with a dress shirt. While the battery of an Apple Watch lasts 1 day, the Venu X1 offers 8 days.
Garmin excels at measuring sports, sleep, and your health. The dashboards in the app and web interface are also excellent. I receive all notifications from my iPhone. Personally, I find it nice for peace of mind that I do not have access to all apps, so my watch does not cause any shifts in screen time.
It is a hefty price tag, but I highly recommend this watch.

I’ve had the Garmin Venu x1 on my wrist for a week now, and to be honest, I’ve made up my mind. It’s basically just a Venu 4, but without the ECG function and with a slightly weaker battery. So why did I buy it anyway? Simply the design. The large screen and how it looks really won me over.
The battery lasts about 6 days. By Garmin standards, that isn't particularly special, but when you compare it to an Apple Watch, you get a good 5 extra days before it needs charging again. That remains a major advantage. The familiar Garmin numbers and statistics are, as always, nice and clear, exactly what you’ve come to expect from the brand. It is quite pricey, especially because you miss the ECG, but if you fall for the looks like I did, then it’s a great purchase.

So far, no negative experiences, other than the lack of being able to start Google Maps navigation from your phone and continue with full map navigation on your watch.
