I swapped my Apple Watch Ultra for this big-screen Garmin that's easier to read


Garmin's latest Venu device is more of a flat, big-screen Fenix 8 packed with useful features. I love it more than I ever thought I would.

The main reason was that the Venu series leans heavily on a touchscreen with just two hardware buttons, and after getting used to Garmin's five-button setup, the UI takes a bit of adjustment. The Garmin Venu X1 gets ZDNET's Editors' Choice award for its refreshingly functional design, slew of health and fitness features, and long-lasting battery life. It ticks most of the boxes of the Fenix 8 AMOLED at a lower price point, has a much more comfortable form factor, and an LED flashlight that's ideal for outdoor activities and safety purposes.
