    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.

    I LOVE this watch. I've had this for almost 2 years and know people who have had theirs way longer and LOVE this watch. The stats, the app, the personalization of it is just down right perfect. It shows no sign of wear and tear. If it ever crapped on me I'd immediately replace with the more than likely the same exact one, or definitely within the brand itself. Best thing I ever got myself.

    This device is perfect for my needs. Heart rate, pulse ox and Notifications. The battery has lasted me 5 days on average with constant pulse ox and heart rate. The assistance button works with my Samsung galaxy 22. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

    This watch is great! Responsive heart rate monitor, phone notifications and talking! Fits perfect and I have tiny wrists. Battery life cannot be beat by any competitors. I have owned an apple watch to compare. I have already dropped it twice on concert and no scratches or chips. Perfect for me.

    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!

    I’m a marathon runner and have always used my Apple Watch - I was noticing some lag in times, distance, and gps/maps and I would have to charge it every night. My Apple Watch just couldn’t keep up with me anymore. I have only ever known Apple and was a bit skeptical buying something not Apple. I LOVE THIS WATCH! And it was the best decision I could have made when it comes to my running. It does everything I used my Apple Watch for and is way more accurate! And the battery is amazing. I can go a week+ without having to charge it.

    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.

    I absolutely love this watch. I had a different brand previously, and the few extra dollars for a nice one like Garmin was definitely worth it. It holds a charge for days and does everything i wanted in a smartwatch. Works with Dexcom CGM app.

    This is a great fitness tracker, tracks all the necessary things. Fitbit has better sleep tracking, but this has much better coaching, gps and activity detection. I do love this watch! Looks good too.

    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.

    What can i say this watch is great. The gps works great on the trails. Heart rate, body battery, and sleep apps all work perfect. My watch is a big part of my workouts and coming from the Samsung active models this was a huge improvement as far as durability and function during sweaty times. Works great in the water as you're still able to use all functions. Battery life is amazing coming from my last brand. I usually charge this one once a week as with the other it was daily. The only thing i miss is the talk to text function which is great but i've learned easily to live without it. I could go on and on but lets face it this is just a review from a random buyer. So go try it for yourself and you wont be disappointed.
