Garmin announced its Venu X1 smartwatch, setting new standards in the smartwatch industry with an ultrathin design, revolutionary 2-inch display and superior battery life. Venu X1 fuses a titanium caseback with a scratch-resistant sapphire lens and an easy-to-read AMOLED display—all with an 8-millimeter watch case. It also features a built-in speaker and microphone so users can make and take calls from the wrist, plus a bright LED flashlight that provides greater awareness in the dark. And with up to eight 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 pack all of Garmin’s most popular features into a slim profile, but the large display makes it easy to see everything from preloaded maps and workout stats to health insights and smart notifications with stunning clarity,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing.
