Garmin - Venu 2 Plus GPS Smartwatch 43 mm Fiber-reinforced polymer - Cream Gold

A couple years ago when I was heavy into running I had a Garmin Forerunner 235 and it was a fantastic watch. After a couple years I didn’t run as much and decided to switch to an Apple Watch. As it was a good watch, I lost a lot of things I liked from my Garmin. I am now back into running and biking and decided to give this watch a shot after much thinking. So far, I have not thought twice about my decision. I had a small problem with syncing to connect but after plugging into my computer and giving it a software update it’s perfect. If you are hesitant I’m here to tell you this is a phenomenal watch and worth every penny. It’s light, it’s comfortable, and unlike Apple, you don’t need to plug it in all the time and you can actually sleep track. It’s so great to have a Garmin and a smart watch in one.

Great watch ,charge last long time.I love alote better than my old Apple Watch

Terrible battery life. After a software update the battery dies within hours. I have done multiple hard reset and it has not helped. Garmin's solution is to turn off Bluetooth which defeats the purpose of a smartwatch. I regret my decision of changing from my fenix 5s to this one. Only reason I changed was to be able to talk on it and half of the time it doesn't work!

Great running watch! Absolutely love the tracking information for running. The phone notifications and apps are not up to smartwatch standards but they are still useful while being active. The app store is VERY limited, mostly just focused on music, see attached screenshot.

This is a great fitness tracker, tracks all the necessary things. Fitbit has better sleep tracking, but this has much better coaching, gps and activity detection. I do love this watch! Looks good too.

I'll write reviews I feel obligated to write something about this watch. I own other smartwatches this one is very unique. It was not easy to set it up but I managed. This is a watch that I can wear with confidence as it looks nice. It is small but with lots of capabilities. Once it was set up it was fine and ready to go. the ECG is excellent. I recommend this watch to people who work out or just as daily smartwatch.

Love my Garmin Venu 2 Plus (and the Connect app). My only comparison is my wife has a Samsung watch and I think my Venu 2 Plus is superior in dozens of ways. Imo one of the best things is the battery life; I can charge it from like 5% up to 100% in no time and then go 4+ days on that charge and that's with Bluetooth on 24/7, display brightness high, etc. Display and watch face options and customization are extensive and easy. You can track anything and everything you want to on this thing and can customize it to focus on KPIs and data that are important to you. I mean it. A lot of interesting features and apps; I just took an ECG reading. Oh, and it looks cool as a watch with a classic kind of design. It's now a key part of my daily routine. I track my hydration with simple touch to log an 8oz drink, I track my daily weigh in, I watch my sleep patterns and how that's impacting everything, I watch my heart data and look for abnormalities of any kind, I teach stationary cycling routine (with Bluetooth connection to my bike.. sweet), walking with my wife, weight training, and swimming. 5 stars from me.

This watch is a great everyday watch. The amoled display is vibrant and clear. It’s comfortable and great looking. I love being able to download more custom watch faces from the garmin connect app. It tracks my steps and heart rate accurately and swiftly. The Spotify feature is my favorite. I’m able to download my playlists and listen to them from the watch without my phone. I get about 5 days on a full charge. Sometimes up to 7. A couple cons: You can’t respond to any texts via typing or quick response. The price is a little steep for lacking features that the Apple Watch has standard. Overall, great watch and I’m very happy with it. Try to find deals on it, and you’ll be happy too.
