Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this watch ! I bought it in September 2023. I have been using it for close to 6 months now. This watch is inexpensive, good looking, and professional looking too. It tracks the fitness data that I need. It plays music on my bluetooth headphones when I go out for runs, so no need to bring my cell phone again. I normally shut it down at night and it lasts me 3 - 4 weeks before I have to charge it again. It tells me when I am stressed too!!

Was recommended the Garmin brand by a friend and coworker who both have watches. I was looking for a watch that i could use more for heath and wellness. I am an iPhone user and just didn’t care for my previous Apple Watch. This watch has everything I’m looking for with pre set up workouts, daily tracking and an app that it syncs everything with. I also love the look of the watch and even though it’s fitness watch it’s still stylish enough to wear on a casual outing. Battery life and notifications display are also a plus.

I had Apple Watch for 3 years and ended ip switching to Garmin Venu 2. I do not lack any functionality from my previous experience with Apple Watch, but instead, enjoying minimum a week of battery life and a better aports tracking. Recommend!

It’s a really nice watch the battery life goes at least a week before needing to be charged.

Love this watch. Great heart rate monitor. It has so many features. It's very durable I wear it at work, shower, swimming it has held up great. The best thing is battery life, I charge it once every 5 days.

Gives accurate info, has a long batter life, and can send notifications from phone at once

Great watch for fitness and golf great battery life

Never owned a smartwatch before this one. This was given to me for my birthday. The battery life was amazing for me. I have extra sensory sensitivity & the band is not breathable. I never thought I would like wearing a watch, however I loved all the health features, used the stress level measurements, sleep stages & ratings, and HR info daily. The BT allowed me to control my music, see call & text notifications, and much more. I tried this watch for a month and depended on it. Unfortunately the one I tried had some sensor or software issues. It would have empty periods in the sleep, HR, and other charts like I wasn't wearing the watch- but I was. It also would say I walked over 1,000 steps while I was sitting & reading a book. The stress readings would be "very stressed" while I was very calm. I changed how I wore it, trouble shot everything possible, but unfortunately had to return it since the primary features I used & liked most about it were those that were inaccurate. I cannot say if this is a common issue with smartwatches/Garmin watches, or if it is a rare occurrence. Either way, I am VERY thankful it came from Best Buy! The return was so quick and simple for a $350 item! Best Buy is literally THE best. I never knew I would use a smartwatch so much, but I am now getting ready to purchase another one!

I’ve had the watch for a while, and below is my honest review: Quality: pretty good all around. I’ve used regular watches all my life so I was actually quite surprised by how light this smart watch was. Interface: It’s decent, it is in fact a bit finicky navigating the watch, but I suppose that’s the biggest draw back about the watch. In terms of actual performance it seems fantastic. Battery life: now I’m not some olympic or gym rat but I have the watch on me all the time, including sleeping. I only take it off to shower (it’s water proof but i take it off and charge it while I shower). You could honestly go about 3 days without charging it and you’ll be fine. I am just a weirdo who likes to maintain my electronics above 50% battery. I go hiking and running a few times a week and home workouts 3 times a week so I use it quite a bit. Plus I’m using the little tracking gadgets like water drinking tracking and steps and other basic stuff so I’m very satisfied with the battery life. In general: just think about the purpose of the watch. For me it’s about getting a more concrete understanding of my daily fitness activity and overall health stats relating to my fitness. So this watch is honestly pretty fantastic. I would give 5 stars but like i said, the interface is low key kinda trash. I hope they fix it on the venu 3 where there’s a nice smooth satisfying interface. That being said, i recommend and approve this message.

Great watch with price.. accurate, slick look, long battery

I briefly had the Galaxy Watch4, but couldn't stand the lackluster battery life...my budget really couldn't afford the Venu 2, but it blows Samsung out of the water in performance, functionality, and every other way possible. Even in how the watch fits and feels, Garmin exceeded my expectations. I'm a 37 year old woman who has wrists the size of a 9 year old child and the watch fit me. Venu 2 offers way more with their suite of fitness and wellness aps/monitoring...and the data seems more reliable. I only say that because I'd get crazy readings with Samsung's heart rate monitor where it'd tell me my heart rate was 150 - 170 (I'm not an active person) on a daily basis. Before running to ER to throw down a few grand + to find out if the device was lying, I just bought a Venu 2 instead. Glad I did because I got way more than I was expecting. Also, I have been wearing it for 48 hours and the battery is still at 78%. That's with constant HR monitoring and sleep data/pulse ox, WiFi on, etc.

Very easy to set up and link with your phone. Long battery life. Has many useful functions. Still checking out different features. I have this watch for only 3 weeks. Can't comment on durability. So far highly satisfied.

I love the reminders and all of the health functions on the watch. It has an amazing battery life and is easy to use. I love how it learns and adapts my goals.

This watch looks great and works well! The battery life compared to my Samsung watch is phenomenal. It has so may options!

The watch is worth it. I havent had to fully charge the watch since. Every time i shower i charge my watch and it keeps going for days.

Great upgrade from my venu version 1. Updated graphics and up to 11 day battery.

My first smart was the lg urbane then I switched to the Samsung 3 frontier and while both were good I was looking for something that lasted longer in battery lifebut that also still had lost the features I use. I'm happy to say that the Venu 2 did not only meet my expectations it insanely exceeded them batter last 7 freaking says not 1 or 2 but 7 days that's a whole week we're I don't have to paying attention to weather the battery is dying out on me. Also it takes fitness series with a built in gps custom workout which even have animations guiding u on posture straight from ur watch. I love this watch and won't be looking elsewhere for my next smartwatch In Garmin I trust.

Accurate smartwatch, great battery over 5 days even with GPS. Only downfall is no speaker to answer calls, but the Venu 2 plus is out but I dont think the additional price is worth it. Healthy tracking is also very accurate and I believe better than Apple watch 7 which battery lasts just shy of 1 day only.

Best smartwatch I have ever owned. I have had alot of smartwatches from the first Moto350, about 5 different Fitbit devices and 3 different Samsung watches. This is by far the best one I have ever owned. With almost a full 2 weeks of battery you can safely go on trips without a charger. Most smartwatches are confused by off road sports and can inflate your steps, 4 hours on a ATV can easily count as 30k+ steps with a fitbit or Samsung. The Garmin is smart enough to not count the vibration as walking.

I bought this to replace my Fitbit Versa . Fitbit does an OK job but has issues with heat rate accuracy and connectivity to your smartphone. The Garmin Venu 2 has an OLED display and looks awesome. The heartrate and SpO2 are very accurate. Build quality is impeccable. Garmin is much more detailed for workout information and tracking than Fitbit. GPS locks on in about 15 seconds for outdoor activities. The battery is at 22% after 5 days and that is using GPS for about 2 hours a day. (always on display is off)
