    I purchased this because I was very happy with my previous Garmin. I returned it because I thought it would do ecg but I found out when I got it home that it did not. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 but realized the Garmin was better all along and I should have stuck with it

    Been using it a month to replace my old Vivoactive 3 music. So far so good. Steps and heart rate seems to be more accurate. Charges much easier. SpOx is also a nice touch. Liked it enough to buy the Venu 2S for the fiance. I'd recommend. This is my 4th Garmin device after using Fitbit in 2015, but I've never had any other brand of smartwatch.

    Decision; Venu 2 vs iWatch 7

    Great and easy to use features. I'm an Apple guy and did a lot reviewing between the iWatch 7 and this Venu 2. My eventual decision to go with the Venu 2 was using a smart watch for more fitness vs the ton of apps and smart watch stuff the iWatch has. Also like the round face look over square. Plus the final dagger was the short battery life of the iWatch. I charge my Venu 2 once a week and charges 100% within a 2 - 3 hrs

    The venu 2 is alot easier to navigate and the pairing mode is smother. I am very pleased with my purchase. I can get 8 days on a charge! My only complaint is that the black started coming off within a couple of days.

    This is my first smartwatch. it seems to have all the features you would expect. Managed to get new watch faces with the app. Would recommend this purchase for anyone looking to keep track of their sleep / heart rate. The Garmin collection of tech is very nice. Pulse ox does not seem to work very well for me. Watch is compatible with my iPhone 13 and the find phone feature is very nice.

    Awesome watch for almost everything I do. There is a learning curve though. I still keep coming across things I didn't know about 6 weeks later. Battery will not last as long as it says if you turn everything (except GPS) on. I get about 2 days with all but GPS turned on.

    This fitness watch is far better than the other name brand fitness watches I have been wearing for years. This gives you so much more information, and is far more accurate. I’ve even checked the heart rate for accuracy and it’s been within +\- 2 beats every time. I love it and will never go back!!

    Slightly Better than Venu.

    Upgraded Venu to Venu2. Slightly better sleep monitoring but still have to adjust "actual wake-up time". Have to keep clean "soap water each morning" to get accurate heart rate. For the first few months "Inside Walking-Step-Counter" was very accurate". Recently I have seen a lot of inaccuracies. Garmin had me do a "hard reset" which didn't work. After I tried a total reset with out lost of data. Still evaluating that change. Strong features: Fairly Accurate Cycling, Outside Walking Data (HR & GPS). Sleep software has improved from Venu" but still needs work. Pairs with Polar H10 but Wrist HR is comparatively accurate if you keep the "watch clean". Oxygen Sensor is in accurate ( at least for dark skin). Garmin Technical Support is exceptional if you are having issues.

    Great smartwatch. Battery life on it is stellar for such a good screen. It's no match for the fenix battery life but it's definitely an improvement over the Apple, Samsung, and WearOS options.

    Bought this venu 2 to replace an old forerunner. The old device works fine, but I wanted to upgrade for the new sensors and health stats. Expectations are met with this purchase. The health tracking works great!

    Great watch. Needs to be charged about once a week if you are using it heavily. Although it sounds like other watches like the Galaxy need charged just about everyday!

    Better than an Apple Watch when it comes to fitness. Smart features are so so but would still get over most other watches.
