Sleek smartwatch sets the trend with lightweight materials and a built-in speaker, mic and LED flashlight

OLATHE, Kan. , June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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

• Lightweight titanium caseback and scratch-resistant sapphire lens are made for all-day wear.
• 8mm watch case features a rectangular design with rounded corners.
• Built-in watch faces are customizable so users can see the data they rely on the most—from current step count and real-time heart rate to altitude and training readiness.
• More font sizes help make notifications easier to read.
• Included 24mm quick-release ComfortFit nylon band provides a comfortable, secure fit 24/7.

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. The built-in speaker and microphone let users make and take calls from the watch when it's paired with a compatible smartphone and use the phone's voice assistant to respond to text messages. Certain voice commands like "start a running activity" and "set a timer for 5 minutes" can also be activated right from the watch—no phone connection required. 

Venu X1 has a suggested retail price of $799.99 and will be available in June. To learn more about the suite of health, fitness, outdoor and connected features available on Venu X1, visit www.garmin.com.
