About Garmin Venu 2, GPS Smartwatch with Advanced Health Monitoring and Fitness Features
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
76% found the fitness features helpful, however 24% thought they were lacking
My watch tracks my heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep, steps, and much more. It does continuous heart rate monitoring, unlike the Apple watch.
I find that the HR, sleep, and run tracking is accurate, which is a strength of Garmin.
The watch allows me to notify someone I choose for help by pressing a button for 3-4 seconds. With GPS, it sends my exact location to bring help.
The fitness features are superior to all other fitness watches out there with a fast response time. Additionally, each exercise has an animated example.

74% liked the battery life
I can go about 7 or 8 days before needing to recharge.
The battery life is excellent, even with the SpO2 meter enabled during sleep.
The 'Body Battery' feature provides good hints on how to stay balanced throughout the day based on activity level, sleep quality and more.
Garmin Pro doesn't charge extra monthly fees for features already on the device. Hook and loop after-market bands work well if you don't like the hard band. The website and phone app work reasonably well with older software. The Polar arm band works when the sensor feature is turned on. Yes, I can use my Polar OH1 with my Garmin Venu Sq. However, Garmin's customer service is not as good as it once was and the live chat only works on some platforms.

75% found it durable, although 25% encountered unexpected wear and tear
I tried the Garmin Vivo Active line and found the display too dim for me. The Venu 2s is bright and readable while exercising.
The watch has lived up to its advertised description and its app provides excellent information in both summary and detailed format.

The Venu 2s has become my constant fitness companion. I was worried it would be too small, but it's actually quite substantial on my medium wrist. It took a few days to adjust to the size. I also got a black band from the Garmin store because I did not care for the grey. The result is a really sharp-looking watch.
