Venu® 2 - Silver Bezel with Granite Blue Case and Silicone Band

Even though the Venu 2 45mm is 5 years old, it still seems modern. It has the health features I'm looking for. Especially since this my first smartwatch and I am starting to get back in shape after many years away. I took several weeks of looking at a variety of watches and companies. I thought Garmin was too expensive, but after I saw a sale on this model with a great warranty I couldn't ignore it. I love the battery, Connect apps and the history of the Garmin name also.

Venu 2 is a game changer for me, works amazingly well fully waterproof and the GPS and maps work really well as well as tracking my sleep and daily health goals . Love this watch so much im thinking about buying spare batteries for it. Wonder if battery can be changed at home

I have had this new watch for almost a month and really like it alot, only have to recharge about everyv5or 6 days. Was easy to setup and customize, if you are on the fence about getting one you akecuhe plunge you will not be sorry. This is my second and when you have issue they really do a lot to help resolve the issue. Complete satisfied.

I've had my Venu 2 for a couple of years now, my first Garmin was a Vivoactive 3. I've generally been happy with Garmin; I wasn't a fan of their big UI upgrade. I'm currently researching to replace it with a model with a bigger display screen and something that can track more movements like hack squats and leg presses, also something that can do more than just track weights and reps. It would be nice, for the price, to have a Garmin watch that offers suggestions or observations about progress to any exercise activity and suggested activities to improve strength and conditioning. Fortunately my Venu 2 still works well and hopefully Garmin will come up with something that, for the price, can offer more 'coaching'.

I am an avid runner, a streaker (have run everyday for 19+ years), I do yoga, lift weights and a number of other exercises on a regular basis. The Garmin Venu 2 is perfect for me. It does everything I want for tracking and analyzing my runs, walks and workouts and then some. It really is a the perfect fitness watch.

very accurate for step count, havent tried it in water yet or for hiking trails. Display is bright %26 accurate.

I hope that when the watch is connected to the computer via USB cable and charging, the Garmin Express program on the computer will display the battery level.

I’ve had it for two years and the battery now dies in the mid 30 percent. Some times it’ll turn on and just go to an odd screen. It’s actually en route to garmin so I can get another watch For something that’s supposed to last a while and be of quality, 2 years of life and having to get a new one only at 25 percent off MSRP is kind of a slap to the face to the consumer

I purchased this watch two years ago, but since an update last year, it has been randomly switching off. To restart it, you need to connect it to a power source. Once it’s back on, there’s still 50% charge remaining. Despite repeated complaints, the issue has been ignored. The battery was initially good, but it deteriorated significantly after the update. Customer care and Garmin themselves seem indifferent to the problem. I wish I had bought an Apple Watch instead of wasting money on this Garmin garbage.

The watch is now three years old and has started to continuously shut down on its own, especially during any kind of event. Clearly there is a manufacturing defect but Garmin will only offer a 20% discount on a replacement. From my research, this appears to be a common problem.
