    Felt cheap and setup did not go well at all

    I have had a Garmin device dating back to 2015 with a Fenix 3. I know these watches. Have had the Fenix 5, and 6 also. The worst thing Garmin did was go Amoled. I remember having the same issue with the Venu 2 that I had with the Venu 3. As soon as I connected it to my phone, I get an always on screen even though the feature is off. I can't get it to turn on when I turn my wrist toward me. I tried resetting it, literally after receiving it just 30 minutes earlier, and it still did the same things right after set up. The strap is nowhere near as hefty as the Vivoactive 4. The actual watch feels cheaper than my Vivoactive 4 that I believe was released back in 2019. And one more thing, the screen looks dim. I tried everything in setting, even maxed it and it stayed dim. The fact that it is primarily plastic is simply horrific for over 400 dollars. Honestly, it felt cheap. Again, I want to emphasize that I have had Garmin Devices for almost a decade. Even the box it came in felt flimsy and did not give any appeal to the fact that you are in essence opening up a box to a premium device. The whole experience felt as if Garmin has begun taking cheaper routes with regard to their boxes and most importantly, their devices. Their Fenix 7 is still selling for more than 700 and 800 bucks. It's outrageous. This is a very hard pass. No way is it worth anywhere near over 400 dollars.

    I had the original Venu and find it was much better than this one. Had to return original watch because couldn't turn the alarm off. It's not consistent in just telling you how many days your up to in your walking goal. Overall, don't love it.
