Garmin just dropped the Venu X1, and it’s already turning heads with a blend of ultrathin design and serious tech muscle. At just 8mm thick, this titanium-clad timepiece is slimmer than most smartwatches, yet it still boasts a 2-inch AMOLED display, sapphire lens, and enough power under the hood to challenge the Apple Watch Ultra 2. This is more than just a pretty face—it’s a full-on personal trainer and smart assistant wrapped around your wrist.


Thanks to built-in speakers and a microphone, you can take calls or send WhatsApp messages right from the watch (paired with your phone, of course). The Venu X1 also supports Garmin’s full fitness arsenal: HRV status, sleep tracking, Pulse Ox, Body Battery, Garmin Coach, and over 100 sports apps. For outdoor adventurers, preloaded TopoActive maps and 43,000 global golf courses mean you’re covered from trail to tee.


With up to eight days of battery life in smartwatch mode and water resistance up to 50 meters, it’s built for both boardrooms and backcountry treks. Garmin even gives it a sustainable nod with its stylish, lightweight titanium build that makes all-day wear effortless. Priced at $800 and available now, the Venu X1 is Garmin’s sleekest, most brilliant move yet.
