Garmin Venu X1

Pros

• In my opinion, this watch is a top-notch Garmin device, but it’s not for the average rugged, battery-focused Garmin user. It’s more suited for someone looking for a smartwatch and sports watch with good looks and maximum comfort.
• The best Garmin for screen size and lightness.
• No regrets. Best Garmin for me. Fully featured, so slim & light. Biggest display.
• Coming from the 965,the X1 is perfect in weight/size/shape, I barely notice it have it on, the most comfortable watch i ever had.
• Yep. I bought it day one and I haven’t found it lacking, or thought about switching. Would buy again for full price of $800 even.

Cons

• The battery indicator shows 2 days remaining, meanwhile it’s actually draining about 25% per day — without any exercise (reaching 4 days it total with no exercises and GPS use).
• I've never noticed the stage on the x1 which means it's not noticeable. not really a bad thing, just not a big space when you're in there which favors their detail forward nature.
• You are correct, X1 does not have a dedicated GPU, so OP need something bigger and heavier for that purpose.
• I bought it when it came out at first at $799, returned it. Didn't think it was worth that price. But when it went on sale for the holidays for $599, I bought another one. I use it as my gym watch since it's so light and it has a low pro...
• X1: is charging your watch every 2 days ok?
