This premium Garmin watch was a sleeper hit for me in 2025 - and it's $200 off right now
"The Garmin Venu X1 stands out with its bold, almost square design and a vivid two-inch AMOLED screen -- the largest ever on a Garmin smartwatch. It offers noticeably more screen real estate than even the Watch Ultra 2, making room for up to eight data fields during workouts. The result? Crisp, easy-to-read stats at a glance, even for aging eyes like mine."
"Like the Fenix 8 series, the Venu X1 features a speaker and microphone, allowing you to make and receive calls from your wrist, record voice notes while exercising, and activate various control functions with your voice. Also: As a golfer, this is the smartwatch I recommend most on the course Three shortcuts can be assigned to the two buttons, allowing you to quickly access regular functions without swiping or tapping on the display."
The Garmin Venu X1 features a bold, almost square case and a vivid two-inch AMOLED screen, the largest on a Garmin smartwatch. The display provides more real estate than the Watch Ultra 2 and supports up to eight data fields during workouts for clear, easy-to-read stats. The watch uses a touchscreen with two hardware buttons and supports three assignable shortcuts. It includes a speaker and microphone for calls, voice notes, and voice controls. An LED flashlight sits on the right side. The touchscreen-focused UI differs from Garmin's five-button interface, requiring some adjustment for long-time users.
