    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 for tracking sleep and activities. The sleep stats have led to some major changes in habits ie) when i drink within 4 hours of bed my stats are horrible so i have stopped doing it. The only downside is the lack of compatibility with other streaming services like youtube music.

    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.

    Way better than any Fitbit you’ll find. I went through 2 HR Charge, another square one (forgot the name) and a Charge 3. ALL of them either just stopped working or stopped tracking. And no, I didn’t get them wet or abuse them. Now to the Venu 2 Plus, amazing battery life (7-10 days), comfortable, stylish, tracks what I wan tracked. The only downside is I cannot add food eaten/calories like I did for my Fitbit.

    New update comes with ECG. Great for my activity tracking, sleep tracking, and monitoring my SPO2, heart rate and of course my running distance or mileage every workout during the week.

    The Venu2 Plus has advanced health and fitness tracking capabilities. It tracks activities hiking, cycling, swimming, and yoga, and provides detailed metrics such as heart rate, distance, and calories burned. The watch also measures sleep patterns and offers guided breathing activities to help you relax and unwind. I love the way it looks and how easy it is to use day to day.

    Love this watch! Had an Apple Watch for many years so I was skeptical about switching, but it’s so nice not to have to charge it every night! I use the workout tracker everyday and I only charge it once a week and it doesn’t take long. Now I’m able to track how I sleep.

    Coming from a Galaxy Watch 4 I wasn't sure what to expect. I wanted a better fitness tracker, but didn't want to give up the smart features. Garmin exceeded my expectations by quite a bit - this is the best fitness tracker I've ever had. I highly recommend it.

    The watch is great. Although the watch is not able to reply texts directly, it can have some preset replies. The fitness and sleep tracking is good on the watch. Battery lasts about a week.

    I have been using the watch for a month or so now. I had previously had a FB Sense that broke when the strap was rubbed underneath by my skin and came off. The Garmin has very secure straps and has never accidentally come undone. I like being able to easily answer calls on my wrist. The tracking seems accurate. I like how it maps my route when I ride my bike. The fitness tracking is much more detailed than FB. I wish I could add my Amex to the Garmin pay. It does not allow Amex, which is my primary card. The battery life is very good, I charge it weekly, and it charges very fast.

    I really love this smart watch. It tells me when my stress and blood pressure are high. Tracks my sleep patterns and it tracks my fitness. I also get my text messages and I see who is calling. Best purchase I’ve ever made.

    Wanted a better activity tracker option than my Samsung watch, could not be happier! Better tracking, simpler to use and did not lose the speaker for call making/answering.

    I absolutely love this thing. Battery life, usability, tracking. If you want 7ish days of battery life straight, leave DND on and make it do the watch only turns on if u click a button. Other than that it lasts about 4days. Charging is super fast. I normally just toss it on when I take a shower once a week and it’s good.

    I highly recommend Garmin products. You just have to find the right one for you. I love this one for running and sleep but I love all the things it does. I also love the color and it fits great also!
