Q: QuestionAre there any serious lap swimmers that would recommend this watch?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes I recommend. I was looking for a watch to use during my swimming to track my heart rate and performance. After testing it against the samsung watch 4, amazfit gtr pro and my polar chest heart monitor, the watch that got closer to the polar was the garmin venu 2 plus.Answered by GadgetFan
- A: AnswerThey are both correct. 33mm refers to the dimension of the screen. 43mm refers to the dimensions of the case. The physical dimensions of the watch is 43.6mm x 43.6mm. The display itself is 33mm diameter.

BUY IT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT
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.

Best. Move. Ever.
I went from the Samsung Galaxy 5 watch to this garmin venu 2 watch. Love how customizable this watch is! I was able to get my starbucks app on here, all sorts of trackers and activity apps! Love the ton of selection of watch faces available for free! Ive tried out the ECG app, does a great job and seems to run smooth. Lets not forget to mention the insanely awesome battery life!!! I can go days without having to charge my watch! Battery life blows away both Apple and Samsung in the watch department! Comfortable to wear, seems to hold up well with bumps into door jams and counters. No cellular capability, but id still choose this watch hands down over the competition anyday!

Highly recommend!
I love it! I really enjoy the continuous heart rate monitoring and the sleep monitoring. I have also fallen in love with the work out feature. Outside of tracking workouts, it actually has several different workouts on the watch that I can pull up and do along with a breathing app for stress. This is my first time owning a fitness watch, and I totally love it! The battery lasts for several days without charging and charges very quickly. It’s waterproof. I have taken it into the shower, and it was totally fine. The glass is also pretty durable. I am a somewhat clumsy person, and it’s still going strong.
