Coming from WearOS, the Venu X1 is easily the best watch I've ever owned. I'm so satisfied that I’d gladly pay double the price. I just hope they don't release the Venu X2 too soon and cut off support for the X1 :-)
The Venu X1 has a very ugly interface/menu—my wife has a Venu 3s, and I think it's much nicer. The watch is great for sports functions, but as a "smartwatch," it's a disaster. It works very poorly, slowly, and isn't fluid. Not what I expected for the price. i have lastest software.
I'm a long time Enduro 2 user. I tried the Fenix 8 amoled for a month. Didn't like the dead feeling buttons, volume too low and felt it wasn't worth the price. I tried the Samsung Ultra for 2 months. I gave it a decent try. It went t back. The battery life was poor and the interface was less than ideal. I didn't mind their health tracking/interface though. I've been using the Venue X1 for 2 weeks now. I really like it. Battery life isn't too bad, I really like the interface, comfort and of course it's a Garmin. If they made a Fenix 9 with this form factor I would buy it in a minute.
