If you’re a woman and the black Garmin Venu X1 didn’t quite appeal to you, the new gold variant might change that.

Let’s admit right from the start that the first paragraph of this article is a bit misleading. If you want to wear the Venu X1, it’s not really suited to a petite wrist.

The case measures 46 × 41 mm, but in terms of thickness it sits at the opposite extreme – the case is just 7.9 mm thick. To help visualise that, imagine three coins stacked on top of each other.

But let’s put the numbers aside and look at the photos for yourself. The target audience for this watch becomes fairly clear.

Let’s recap what made the Venu X1 stand out right after launch:

• a thickness of just 7.9 mm
• a 2" display
• a built-in LED light
• a weight of just 34 grams
• sapphire glass and a titanium case
• a feature set comparable to Garmin’s flagship Fenix line
