Garmin has launched the new Venu X1, setting new standards in the smartwatch industry with an ultra-thin design, a revolutionary 2-inch display and excellent battery life. Venu X1 combines a titanium case back with scratch-resistant sapphire glass and an easy-to-read AMOLED display – all in an 8 mm watch case. It also has a built-in speaker and microphone so users can make and take calls from the wrist, and a bright LED flashlight for better visibility in the dark. And with up to 8 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, it's easy to do more and charge less.

„Venu X1 is the perfect blend of form, function and style. Not only does it offer all of Garmin's most popular features in a slim profile, but the large display makes it easy to see everything from preloaded maps and workout stats to health data and smart notifications with stunning clarity.“
—Susan Lyman, Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing at Garmin

Elegant and lightweight design

• A bright 2-inch display makes it easy to read data at a glance and view maps in detail.
• A lightweight titanium case back and scratch-resistant sapphire glass are designed for all-day wear.
• The 8 mm thin watch case features a rectangular design with rounded corners.
• Built-in watch faces can be customised so users see the data they rely on most – from current step count and real-time heart rate to altitude and training readiness.
• A larger font size makes notifications easier to read.
• Includes a 24 mm quick-release ComfortFit nylon strap for a comfortable and secure fit day and night.
• Available in two popular colours : Black and Moss.

Built-in LED flashlight, speaker and microphone

Venu X1 is designed for everyday wear and features an LED flashlight for better visibility in the dark. The built-in speaker and microphone let users make and take calls when paired with a compatible smartphone, and use the phone's voice assistant to reply to text messages. Certain voice commands, such as „start a run activity” and „set a timer for 5 minutes”, can be activated directly from the watch – no phone connection needed.
