The Garmin Venu X1 was, without doubt, the most innovative watch Garmin released last year, and I absolutely loved it. Awarding it 4.5 stars, I thought the slender squircle design, incredibly bright edge-to-edge screen, and titanium backing combine to create a watch antithetical to Garmin’s usual design ethos. Despite all this, it feels like a Garmin to use, especially with full-color maps. It’s a joy.
Considering it’s such a new watch, I was surprised to see it briefly drop down a massive $200 on Amazon late last year, and even more surprised to see this deal is back for 2026. Right now, you can get the [Garmin Venu X1 discounted from $799.99 to just $599.99 at Amazon US](htt…

Why get this deal?
In my Garmin Venu X1 review, I said that the Venu X1 is "a radical departure from Garmin’s usual chunky, heavy-bezeled form factors and memory-in-pixel displays, but it carves out an identity all its own with a slender profile that sits comfortably on the wrist, and a redesigned operating system.
"It’s a fantastic watch that’s rapidly becoming a daily driver for me."
The Venu series is all about combining a great lifestyle smartwatch with stellar fitness tracking features, and that’s the Garmin Venu X1 to a tee. It’s comfortable to wear and extremely light and slim, unlike most Garmins, but no slouch in the fitness tracking stakes. It’s especially valuable to people who train outdoors, with excellent maps and route creation features that handily beat out anything on Apple.
