Garmin has officially announced a war with the launch of the Garmin Venu X1 on Apple, a huge AMOLED screen, thin titanium case and a square-shaped wellness-trekking powerhouse with many high-end smartwatch bails and several high-end smartwatch bails and CT. In short, it looks like an Apple Watch Ultra 2, in which the ultra 2: $ 799 with an alternative price tag for the match.
Complete disclosure: I want to get Venu X1 on my wrist yet – My colleague is Nick – But depending on the glasses and early impression alone, there is a lot for the new sporty smartwatch of germines. Will this future Apple Watch Ultra 2 be sufficient to woo customers? It could have been!
As a person who reviews the smartwatch for a living person, I pursue a lot of questions from those who dig up their apple clock for something new.
While the complaint of their greatest Apple Watch is about the battery life … or in its absence, the lack of advanced fitness tracking and training equipment is another criticism that I hear a lot. He, and lack of support for fine workout types.
While germining watches do not have smart features on almost several third-party applications and best Apple Watch models, they usually excel when this battery comes to longevity, overall tracking reliability and high-end exercise features. The brand also supports more than one hundred workout types, including everything from disc golf to boxing.
Prior to X1, Garmin already had solid options for Apple Watch Series 10 with Garmin Venu 3, and Apple Wate SE (2022) with Garmin Vivoactive series. Now, the cance-based brand has a potentially qualified model to take the major flagship of cupertino.
Keeping this in mind, here are the five biggest things that Garmin Venu X1 is going for it, as well as three things that may potentially hold it back from competition with Apple Watch Ultra 2.
1. Giant amold screen
Not only is this the first high-end smartwatch of gamin with a square face, but the screen, which extends from the bezel age to the bezel age, is the largest of the brand. In fact, this is slightly larger than the display of Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Garmin does not provide maximum brightness figures for devices, but 2,000 NITs are a possible condition. It is not quite bright as 3,000 NIT Max Brightness Figure of Ultra 2, but it is still impressive and means that X1 will also appear in very bright light.
2. Super-thin case
At just 7.9 mm, it is also the thinnest smartwatch case of gamin so far. Compare that the depth of the 14.4 mm case of Apple Watch Ultra 2, and suddenly it seems to be a low climate.
Fortunately, despite a thin case, my colleague Nick reports that It seems anything but flared On the wrist. On a similar note, Neelam Crystal Screen provides peace of mind when it talks about security.
By the way, in the thickness of 9.7 mm, even the latest Apple Watch Series 10 is not thin like Venu X1.
3. Garmin’s best overall tracking technique
For its price, Garmin Venu X1 should sports the latest and largest overall sensor technique of gamin. Thankfully, it does, which means that you are equally reliable (if not over) heart rate data.
Sleep tracking insights of germines are also best in the business, and more detailed and actionable than Apple, imHO. In addition, the workout training and recovery tools of gamin exclude cupertino out of the water. And this is not an opinion. it’s a fact.
4. Onboard LED ‘Torch’ Torch
Like the Garmin Instinct 3, Sporty, New Venu X1 has an underlying LED flashlight, something that you will not find on any Apple Watch. Tuck on top of the case, the Nifty onboard ‘torch’ has an adjustable output and can be set on a white or red light.
Finding items in a dark bedroom, perfect for late night dog and without awakening a sleeping partner, this is a feature that I really want to rip Apple (and Google and Samsung, etc.) and will rip down and add my own equipment.
5. Burate speakers and microphones
The best gamin watches are not known for their smart features at all. While most high-end garmins provide basics, such as onboard music storage, NFC payment and mirror smartphone notifications, which end up.
Venu X1 provides slightly more. This is not the first smartwatch of gamin with an onboard microphone and speaker, but it is a good extra for those who want to take a phone call from the wrist, as you will do with an apple watch Ultra 2.
Of course, the gamin does not offer cellular connectivity on any smartwatch of the brand, so you will need a coupled phone nearby to avail the mike and speaker.
Where Venu x1 lower vs apple watch ultra 2 falls
While the Garmin Venu X1 has a lot for this against Apple Watch Ultra 2, battery life is an area that he does not affect. Certainly, in smartwatch mode, you can use for eight days, but always falls for two days when using screen mode.
And when GPS is used to track an activity, battery life is just 14 hours. Comparatively, Apple Watch Ultra 2 is good for about 36 hours in smartwatch mode (or 72 hours in low-power mode) always with a display and 12 hours when using GPS to track an activity.
Another negative side for Venu X1 compared to Ultra 2 is that there is no multiband GPS in the east; Does the latter. Multiband benefits are better tracking reliability, especially in areas where the sky may be interrupted.
Finally, the Garmin Venny X1 has a resistance of only 50 meters of water. This is enough for a short time of surface-level swimming but nothing more than this. Ultra 2, meanwhile, provides 100 meters of water resistance and is suitable for scuba diving.
