Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this watch! It's great for when I go running, it tracks my performance amazingly. There are a lot of features and apps that can be downloaded to the watch. My experience at Best Buy making the purchase was great too. I was added to a waiting list for help as soon as I entered the store and only had to wait for a few minutes before someone was able to assist me. I am a huge fan of the Total Tech program so I absolute would recommend enrolling in the Total Tech Mbership. It is a wonderful program and gives me peace of mind purchasing the tech I need and want knowing if and when "life happens" I can take it back and most likely have it replaced or repaired.

Great watch.hhhjjjjjjjjjjjjhgvggghhhhhhhgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhjiooihhggtttt

Closest thing to a smart watch . 9 days of battery. More for outdoor. Treadmill and other indoor activities still not thay accurate you can still edit manually on your phone though.

Pros: Good looking watch. Battery can last much longer than most smart watch in market. Motion detect is accurate. Cons: no mic and speaker support

Outstanding watch. Crazy amount of data and information collected. Battery life beats the pants off Galaxy Watch and Apple watch. I'm getting 5 to 6 days per charge.

Bought this watch for my wife for Mother’s Day. She loves it. The battery life last for like 9-10 days. I will be buying one for myself in the near future!

Great for keeping track of your vital statistics. This is BP, sleep score etc. Battery life is great. Integration was very easy.

Switched from Apple Watch Series 6 to this watch. Very impressed with battery life and metrics tracking. Much more robust than Apple Watch.

Great watch, upgraded from a vicoactive and it was absolutely worth it. Good specs, very good battery life, love the shape and design.

Absolutely amazing watch. Does everything i could ask for. Battery life is amazing.

Excellent smartwatch. Long lasting battery, better connection to smart assistants would be great.

I have always been well pleased with Garmin manufactured devices and this watch is no exception. I have owned a lot of their radar detectors in the past and have always been well pleased with them. I have also previously owned Garmin watches and have also been well pleased with them. I think this watch is a great watch and will serve the sports minded individual very well. I also think that the features a very good and also the quality of the watch.

I recently upgraded my Venu 2 watch to the plus and I could not be happier! Yes, the prior model is slightly bigger, but to be honest, it's not too far off at all. My reason for upgrading is the fact that with this model, I'm able to make phone calls and also connect it to google assistant with voice capabilities. With this, I can last as long as 9 days before I need to charge it again. Now with the Venu 2 model before this, I was only able to go as long as 7 days before recharging. Also, I didn't have any issues when setting this up. For the most part, everything is pretty accurate, but the sleep tracker can vary. It always has the time I wake up correct, but my sleep time can be off just a bit and this could be because I set my start sleep time way off from when I actually do fall asleep. However, the regular Venu 2 model was always pretty accurate in terms of sleep time for me, so perhaps I will need to test this out more and adjust the time to be closer to the time I have been falling asleep lately which could be throwing it off. Overall, everything else is good and I love how it has been working well for me since purchasing. If you're focused on health, fitness, and wellness, this watch does the job of tracking your workouts and etc.

The watch is excellent. The battery even with Bluetooth on lasts for days and is the perfect blend of fitness and smartwatch.

Love it. I traded in a vivoactive 4 and I’m so glad i did! Does everything I need it to.

Great in all aspects. Battery is great, and love many watch faces. First time Garmin watch, that’s it, my next watch is gonna be the Fénix edition.

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a long time Apple Watch (series zero actually was my first one) user that was looking for more heartrate, sleep tracking, and body energy capabilities. I did lots of research on the Garmin, Whoop, Fitbit, and so on only to come up with this Venu 2 Plus as being the one I purchased. I really wanted to try the Fenix 7 however that one is sold out everywhere. So I compromised and purchased this one. Unfortunately I had never even picked up a Garmin watch so when I went into Best Buy I was hoping to pick one up and use it some. However, Garmin does not provide Best Buy with functional watches for customers to try. So, I was stuck with purchasing the watch for $450 without knowing how it truly felt. Well, as an Apple watch user with the stainless steel case, I obviously know how much it is to purchase a premium watch. Once arriving home, I removed that watch from its box only to be completely underwhelmed buy the lackluster curb appeal that even a $450 watch presented itself with. Looking past the super stretchy band that felt as if it was going to break while trying to get it tight on my arm, to the Dollar Store quality plastic that the entire watch case was made out of, I was willing to give the watch a fair try. With the air temperature being 24 degrees F and the wind chill 12F, I set my watch up, synced it to my phone app, and went for my first outdoor exercise with it. Upon walking outside and pulling up my first exercise on the watch, I am confronted by a very annoying graphic on the front of the watch that says, "wait for GPS." Um what? What seemed like 5 minutes later, a bar ran across the screen of the watch and I was notified that my watch was ready to start my activity. My first thought was, "well maybe the GPS just needed to calibrate itself for its first activity." Fast forward to day two of ownership, I went out for my second activity. "Wait for GPS" showed up again on my watch. However, it was much faster than it was the first time. But this seems to be something that it has to do for every activity. Lets talk about the other issues that I have found with the watch. When trying to look at other apps on the watch, I found that each app needs to be synced with the Garmin connect app on my phone. I just wanted to see the weather but I was forced to open my phone just to do that. I dont have that problem with my apple watch. The watch and my phone app are consistently inconsistent because of the sync issue. I dont want to have to use my phone to keep syncing my watch. I wanted to do most things with my watch without having to use my phone. During exercise, you are really unable to get any accurate up to date information on your phone because it has to be synced. Overall, the watch seems to do what it is advertised to do. However, it is just not right for me. The price point is way too high for the quality of watch that you get. You can purchase an Apple watch 7 for $399 and that is at least made of aluminum. I guess I will keep looking for something that meets all of my needs and maybe one day, Apple will upgrade their sleep monitoring capabilities and add something similar to the body battery or Whoops strain & recovery. I will be returning my Garmin Venu 2 Plus.

I love how useful it is for exercising. The only problem is that the screen can crack easily. Mine cracked and i had to get it fixed already.

Love this watch. Great battery life (lasts for about a week). Does a good job a tracking my threshold workouts.
