Introducing Venu X1: Garmin’s ultrathin smartwatch with an industry-leading 2-inch display

OLATHE, Kan./June 12, 2025/PR Newswire - Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced Venu® X1, 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 8mm watch case. It also features a built-in speaker and microphone so users can make and take calls from the wrist1, plus a bright LED flashlight that provides greater awareness in the dark. And with up to 8 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."
-Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing

Built-in LED flashlight, speaker and mic

Made to be worn all day every day, Venu X1 includes an LED flashlight that provides greater visibility in dark environments.
