Garmin X1 Smartwatch Discounted $150 at REI - A Cyclist’s All-Day Companion
REI is currently offering a important discount on the Garmin X1 smartwatch, slashing $150 off the retail price. The deal,available now,presents a timely prospect for cyclists seeking a thorough training and lifestyle wearable.
Released recently, the Garmin X1 is uniquely positioned for cyclists who also prioritize data-driven recovery and daily wellness tracking. Unlike running-focused smartwatches, the X1 excels as an everyday wearable, boasting extended battery life and a stylish design, while seamlessly integrating with dedicated cycling hardware. This allows riders to monitor crucial metrics like resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep patterns – data often missed when relying solely on bike-mounted sensors.
Cyclists already utilize bike computers for real-time performance data like heart rate, power output, speed, and distance.The X1 complements this setup by providing a holistic view of training load and recovery. By pairing the X1 with a Garmin bike computer (see Velo’s guide to the best cycling computers), data flows seamlessly into the Garmin Connect platform, offering a unified picture of athletic performance both on and off the bike.
