A:AnswerThe Venu is compatible with Apple devices. There is not a text functionality of the Venu like there is for the Apple Watch. All notifications from your iPhone will appear on the Venu
A:AnswerGarmin states that the Venu is rated at 5ATM & is suitable for swimming/diving in a pool. It also has a "Pool Swimming" activity setting, so I imagine Garmin had pool use in mind. I have not been in a pool since buying my Venu, but I have a Vivosmart HR that has the same rating and I never had an issue with swimming with it on. I have gone to the bottom of pools (10 feet or so) and not have a problem. I don't know that I'd risk staying at that depth with it for any length of time, but I'm not a diver either.
A:AnswerYes, you should be able to download audio books to the device. There may be some limitations. You may want to go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device.

A:AnswerShockproof? The watch itself is pretty light and doesn't have a ton of surface area to break and the face is gorilla glass. It would be ok falling for a short distance but too far or onto a hard surface and you may damage the front. Not a gshock watch but pretty durable.
