Good smartwatch but given the price it is a shame not to have the updates to have the same features as the Venus 3.

I bought this to replace my Apple Watch. I wanted something that I could track multiple health parameters with and not have to charge daily. The Venu 2 plus has fit the bill. There are some learning curves and I wish it had a way to text without using voice, but overall, it just what I needed.

Amazing watch with 18 data fields displayed on the watch face. I monitor my heart rate continuously and frequently take my ECG. I can easily print the ECG and share with my cardiologist. Easily download golf courses and view distance to pin location. The sleep tracking is excellent. I charge the watch only once per week.

I've had the device for a while now. I wear it all of the time, including work and home projects. Still looks great. The music app is nice. Excellent battery life.

I bought this watch in August 2023. I love the watch but it is no longer syncing with my phone. My watch still says that it is Good Friday. So I am not sure if anything on the watch is accurate.

I love Garmin watches, and have been using a Venu 2 SQ for the past couple of years. I loved the accuracy and features of it. When I saw the Garmin Venu 2 plus had ECG, I wanted that feature and I upgraded to a Venu 2 Plus and I am sure glad I did! This watch is over-the-top. It has so many improved features plus all the new ones. The ECG, the speaker for calls and voice assistant, the custom watch faces, I could go on and on. Definitely worth the upgrade. In fact, my husband who has a Venu 2 SQ was so impressed with my watch that he also upgraded to a Venu 2 Plus!

I got this watch because of the phone calling integration right on my wrist. While riding my bike, I can talk to anyone on my contact list, as long as Google Assistant is set up correctly. Later, after having heart issues from coronary heart disease, I found the HR and ECG app to be useful in monitoring for A-Fib post surgery. Works great for riding my bike for less serious rides where I can leave my Garmin head units at home. Tracks hikes well too. Live Track and Incident Detection integrated if set up correctly in Garmin Connect. The watch looks clean with nice display to wear all day at the workplace. Cons: Buttons and screen wipes are not easily intuitive. Their functions change depending upon what screen you are on. It took a lot of practice to become proficient. Some functions are "apps" you need to add to your list (like the ECG app), while other functions show up by swiping the clock face. I find that confusing. I'm supposed to be able to see my screen by turning my wrist or double tapping the watch face, but it only works about 1/2 the time. Always wakes up ok when pressing the top button, but that's inconvenient. Leaving the watch on all the time would fix that, but I love the long battery life by only waking it up when I need it. Overall, I still think I got a good deal on the model close out price before they released the Venue 3.

Sleep is not accurate, along with heart rate and calories during the day. Including during exercise and battery life has gotten worse. I loved it at first, still like just wish it was more accurate with everything. And battery life good, GPS is good along with running metrics are good

I switched over to Garmin from Fitbit. I work out just about every day. Typically a mix of workouts, including Elliptical, Running, Biking, Weights, Ab Training. Heart rate is hit and miss at times, Garmin Connect is typically down once a month or so. Features are great, but most of the time just use Strava to record workout and enter manually.

Reliable, high quality fitness watch with more features than I will ever know. As a fitness watch, I use it to track my cardio workouts plus daily steps & stairs climbed. But it is also an indispensable companion. Temperature is a quick glance away. With my phone often in a pants pocket, I don't always hear the ringer or alerts. But the Venu notifies me of all that is important to me.

I bought this watch about one month ago over an Apple Watch. Glad I did. Battery life between charges is amazing going on 9 days+ between charges. Features are great and the health information on the watch have changed my day to day activities for the better. The watch is very light making it easier to sleep with to monitor sleep habits. And the available bands allow to dress up or down the watch for any occasion. The phone capabilities are great - no problem talking to or hearing people on the watch speaker. So happy with my purchase and would not change a thing.

El reloj es bastante comodo, resistente y robusto, su fabricación tiene buenos materiales y la pantalla es muy clara, nitida y con excelente resolución, la vibración de la notificaciones es bastante cómodo así como los sonidos de las alarmas, el único detalle es que ne muchas ocasiones no se reciben todas la notificaciones aun cuando el teléfono y el reloj están conectados, al alcance y con todas ellas activas. En general muy buen equipo y buena compra. Recomendado.

I bought this watch and after six month I scratch the screen a bit and here in Colombia the official seller cant repair it or replace it obviously paying a fee, so, it basically I would need to buy another expensive one, its a shame.

I recently switched from fitbit to garmin. It does have more applications than fitbit. Only had it 2 weeks. Like it so far

Took a while to learn *all* the features (two weeks in and and I still have a bit to learn). But easy to use, provides excellent stats on both the watch on the Connect app. Was able to quickly add my favorite activities - Tennis, Pickleball, Spinning, Rowing machine, etc. and put them in order right on the watch.

I bought the Venu 2 to replace a Samsung that stopped working. I've owned the Venu 2 for about 6 months. I love all the features and the battery length between charges. I did have an issue with fast drain but discovered it was a Bluetooth device trying to connect. The watch is easy to use, however I do not use it for the text messages, phone calls, etc. Because I save the battery for my exercises. I'm running farther, lifting more and improving my fitness level. The watch keeps me motivated! Great buy!

I love my watch except that it will not connect to my Nordictrack equipment, my Venu 2 would connect but when I upgraded to the plus it won't connect

My wife got me this watch as a gift, and it is awesome. So many features! It even lets me make and receive phone calls right on the watch! We use Garmin GPS units in all our vehicles, even on our motorcycles. So I was happy to learn Garmin makes smart watches as well. I can even make a custom watch face using my own photo, which makes it the perfect watch for a certain.. seasonal job I do..
