New to Prime Day? We’ve got everything you need to get started . Sales information is accurate at the time of publication, but prices and stock levels are subject to change.
The Garmin Venu X1 , released a few months ago , is now on sale for the first time, marking the October Prime Days. It’s now priced at $699.99, a full $100 off its regular price.
The X1 is a large rectangular watch designed for outdoor and fitness enthusiasts. (If you’re looking for a large, round watch for runners and athletes, check out the Fenix line. Here’s the 51mm Fenix 8 , priced at over $1,000—sadly, it’s not available today.)
In addition to Garmin’s largest display, the X1 boasts several premium features that justify its price. It features an LED flashlight, built-in maps, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a speaker and microphone for calls or voice assistants.
It includes running, cycling, and strength training features, as well as all the standard Garmin health and fitness tracking features and analytics. It goes without saying that Garmin watches generally have excellent GPS accuracy and reliable heart rate readings.
The X1’s battery lasts up to eight days, and its screen measures 41 x 46 mm, equivalent to a two-inch diagonal. In addition to the standard activity profiles and running data, the X1 also supports other sports, including motorsports and climbing, and has additional features for golf.
