    I switched from an apple watch to the Garmin for running. Love the style of this watch and the much longer battery life

    Got this for my daughter. She enjoys using it for runs and walks. We also like that it tracks your sleep pattern and O2 levels.

    Wife loves it. Tracks everything, including things you wish it wouldn't. Can be seen from space. Doubles as a stadium light in the dark, which is a total crowd-pleaser when you're about to doze off and then your wife rolls over and it turns on the screen. Customizable as well, so that's a bonus.

    My Samsung Gear Fit 2 stopped working, so I decided to move to a smart watch. My daughter recommended the Garmin Venu. It is a nice watch and has more features than I need. However, I returned it after a few days. There were three things that bothered me about it: 1. There seemed to be a lag between completing an activity and the watch recording it. 2. Stairs were not counted correctly. I think this is a problem with all the fitness devices, but the Venu has an app you can press to explicitly count stairs and it is still wrong. 3. The thing that just drove me nuts though is that when I tapped the walk app, it would say "acquiring GPS" and I would stand out in the cold, waiting and waiting for the watch to be ready. After returning the Venu, I bought a Samsung Active 2. I'm happy with the Active 2, but that is the subject for another review!

      I'm sorry you weren't happy with the Venu. The watch records the data as soon as you press Start and will stop the recording as soon as you press Stop. You will need to select the Save option and let the device process the data. It will then sync to your account using Bluetooth if you have it paired with your phone or using Garmin Express on your computer. If you wanted to record the walk it would need to acquire GPS just like recording a run or bike. Be sure you are standing in the open and not under and trees or close to any tall buildings as that could block the signal when trying to acquire. We also offer support at support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's concerning the device and you may also reach out directly to a support specialist from that link if you still need assistance.

    I have been using a Vivoactive HR for quite awhile. During that time, smartwatch features have improved and new ones have been added. I'm used to the Garmin Connect app, so I wanted to stay with Garmin. With the sale price of $100 off, I had been eyeing the Venu for some time. I'm now getting used to is. It has all the features I had before plus more detail on sleeping, respiration, and much more. I'm very pleased!
