Garmin Venu 4 vs. X1: The cheaper watch wins, but not completely
· By Endurance Wire
Garmin unshackled the Venu 4 to add better personalized coaching, training load data, and GPS accuracy, while still designing it to be more accessible, stylish, and health-focused than your typical Garmin watch. It's heavier and more expensive than past Venus, and doesn't have every Venu X1 perk, but it still arguably has the best value of any Garmin watch. The Garmin Venu X1 isn't nearly as well-rounded as the Venu 4, prioritizing a large, bright display and ultra-thin design at the expense of battery life — and costing significantly more.
