    Got the Venu to help get prepared for new fitness routine and long runs. The Venu looks great on and off the wrist. The Garmin app for the phone is well laid out and easy to use/configure. The watch itself is were things begin to go south. The heart rate sensor seemed accurate but slow, the stress parameter stayed exceedingly high even though I wasn't stressed in anyway. The body battery parameter flat lined 3 times at 5% and would not change even after sleep. Contacted Garmin and they recommended resetting the watch. The reset worked, but the next day it flat lined again. Googled the problem and quickly found that others are experiencing the exact issue with the Venu. There was a couple of software updates that occurred, however none improved the heart rate, stress and body battery parameters and the watch still needed to be reset every day. The menu system was not very logical either. Decided to return the watch and look into other options.

    The beige colored band ruined it

    I don’t know why Garmin made the Venu with the lightest color offered being beige rather than white. The sandstone color is awful in person and it looks horrible on any skin tone. White will always be a fresh and classic color and with Garmin coming out with the Venu in response to people wanting both a lifestyle and activity watch they should release it in a color that matches both casual clothing and active wear. So yes, as much as I loved the amoled screen when I powered on the watch it wasn’t enough to get me to keep it with how much I loathe the beige band and watch case. Which brings up my other issue with Garmin, if the case wasn’t beige as well I could’ve switched out the strap to be white. But since the case is beige it would look dumb to change the strap color. It’s a shame because this would’ve been my first Garmin watch but until they release Amoled watches in white/rose gold I won’t get one.

      I'm sorry you don't like the Rose Gold Stainless tell Bezel with Light Sand Case and Silicone Band. The device does come in other colors, however, White with Rose Gold is not one of them.
