    Garmin Answer for iPhone, But Not for Me

    I returned this watch the same day I purchased it. It appears to be a transition device for an Apple Watch person who likes all the bells and whistles. I had an Instinct Solar first generation and wanted to upgrade. This watch was beautiful and had a lot of features similar to an Apple Watch. It was those features such as answering telephone calls and receiving text messages on the watch that drove me away from this watch. I also discovered it only had three physical buttons and included touchscreen for some functions. I’m in my 70 and do not want to do calls and texting on a watch. My fingers have enough trouble typing on the iPhone screen. I’m not even going to attempt touchscreen on a tiny watch face. NOTE: I stayed with Garmin, but ended up with a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar, which looks almost identical to the Instinct Solar first generation I had. However, the second generation via Garmin Connect reports far more than the first generation and has better solar charging/battery life. I prefer the monochromatic screen of the Instinct 2 Solar which I configure to look like a Cassio GShock watch face. I do my calls and texts on my iPhone with all call and text notices shut off for the watch. Needless to say, I do not us watch or phone for payments so Garmin pay is not activated.

    I'm upgrading from the original Venu which I've had for a few years now. This feels like the original, looks like the original, and acts like the original, with a nice hardware upgrade and snappier interface. If you want an upgrade and didn't get the Venu 2, this might be worth a look. I'm happy with it so far and the transition from the original Venu was as simple as pairing my new one and disconnecting the old one. The data transferred seamlessly and it was like I had never swapped a watch out.
