Garmin’s New Smartwatch Is Built to Woo Apple Watch Lovers
· By Endurance Wire
The new Venu X1 is the sleekest Garmin watch yet. Is that enough to convert Apple Watch wearers? (Photo: Graham Averill) I remember strapping the original Apple Watch to my wrist way back in 2015 and being amazed that I could track my heart rate, read a text, or listen to music with the tiny device. It set the standard for smart watches, and it looked pretty damn cool with its understated, minimalist design. Since then, I’ve owned several versions of the Apple Watch, but I converted to Garmin’s more adventure-focused smartwatches a couple of years ago.
