I'm wearing the Garmin Venu X1 right now – here's how it compares to the Apple Watch Ultra 2

The Garmin Venu X1 has only just launched, and at the time of writing this sentence, I've been wearing it for... *checks wrist*... about 56 minutes. Already, I've tested its voice command, call functionalities, LED flashlight, and many of its other functionalities, and I look forward to diving into all its features, including sleep and workout tracking, in much more detail over the coming weeks.

The Garmin Venu series has always been about versatility, and a marriage of exercise and communications features. The Garmin Venu 3 is currently top of our best Garmin watches guide, with all the GPS and activity tracking smarts Garmin is known for, combined with lifestyle features such as the ability to sync with apps such as Spotify and Ring doorbell, microphone and speaker, notifications, and much more. It's essentially Garmin's answer to the Apple Watch.
