Garmin's Apple Watch competition is experiencing a significant increase in consumer interest currently
Garmin, the renowned technology company, has reported a significant surge in sales for its fitness wearables, with a record-breaking quarter in Q2 2025. The growth is attributed to Garmin's strong lineup of innovative and highly differentiated products that customers desire.
The surge in sales is not limited to hardcore athletes. A wider audience, including casual fitness fans and wellness seekers, is buying Garmin's fitness wearables. This shift is due to Garmin expanding its product lineup to cater to a wider audience, offering lifestyle-friendly and accessible devices like the Venu X1 and the compact Lily 2 Active.
Tom's Guide has tested and rated the best Garmin watch of 2025, and the publication has also published an article about potential new smartwatches from Garmin. There is speculation about the release of 2 new smartwatches from Garmin in the near future.
The Garmin Venu X1, one of the newer devices from Garmin, features a sleek, lightweight design, a bright 2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, built-in GPS, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and personalized fitness plans. Garmin has also entered the smart sleep band market with the Index Sleep Monitor, a product designed to help users improve sleep quality and track recovery metrics without a big watch display.
Garmin's fitness segment operating income rose 84 percent to $198 million, representing the largest gain among all divisions. The fitness segment revenue increased 41 percent year-over-year to $605 million. According to CEO Cliff Pemble, Garmin delivered another quarter of outstanding financial results with double-digit growth in every segment.
For now, the focus for Garmin will most likely be on maintaining momentum and meeting users' evolving needs. There is currently a huge Garmin sale ongoing at Amazon, with up to 40% off on various products. Tom's Guide has published a list of recommended deals during the Garmin sale at Amazon.
In summary, Garmin's increased popularity stems from broadening their range to include stylish, lifestyle-focused models alongside performance-oriented ones. They have incorporated advanced health, fitness, and recovery tracking features accessible to casual and serious users alike. Offering reliable GPS, long battery life, and smart functions such as music storage, Garmin Pay, and call handling, Garmin has maintained a reputation for durability and accuracy while improving design aesthetics and usability.
