Garmin has introduced the Venu X1, a new smartwatch positioned as a direct competitor to Apple's Watch Ultra 2. Priced at $799, the Venu X1 features a 2-inch square AMOLED display, the largest screen Garmin has offered on its smallest case to date. The watch is constructed with a titanium body and offers an eight-day battery life. It includes advanced health tracking capabilities such as a blood oxygen monitor and built-in GPS. The Venu X1 is noted for its lightweight design and the ability to display maps and fitness metrics clearly on its large screen. Reviews and comparisons highlight that while the Venu X1 closely resembles the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in design, it surpasses expectations in terms of power and battery longevity. It is also compared with the Apple Watch Series 10 in terms of price, features, and smartphone compatibility, emphasizing Garmin's effort to challenge Apple's dominance in the premium smartwatch market. The Venu X1 is set to be available starting June 18, 2025.
