Bought this to upgrade from my Vivoactive 3. Love all the extra features. Loads of different watch faces to choose from. Very crisp display. Love it !

When I use the watch, it doesn't count the number of stairs climbed. The other thing is that when I swim, I swim 60 lengths in a 25-yard pool. I made sure the watch was set properly for yards. Every once in a while, the watch will add 1 or 2 laps.

I've had this watch for 3 years, still going strong. Best thing is that I only have to charge it every 5-6 days (on average if not exercising more than 2hrs each day) ! Battery lasts a full day (16hrs) using GPS for hiking, sailing, etc. Great for recording so many sports! -running, mtb, surfing, swimming, football, sailing. I like that it tells you your V02 max, heart rate max, and the common stats after each run. Easy to use with touch screen and buttons. Venu 2 is the best because you can use the side buttons when you're sweaty, and the touch screen for easy navigation and normal use. Best watch I've owned so far. Looks nice, not too big, strong, durable, survived a lot of crazy, rough adventures!

I had quite a few running watches and this one by far was the best. The gps is very accurate and all of the features on the watch are easy and fun to use. I've been running for quite some time and this is my go to watch for sure.

My 3rd Garmin watch in 10 years, such a great watch. Superior visibility even in sunshine. Excellent hr accuracy and gps is top notch.

My brother won this in a conqueror contest and gifted me the watch. It is replacing a Fitbit 5. I have found the Garmin is much more accurate in counting steps and having miles recorded from bike rides. Looking forward to kayaking with the Garmin this summer. Absolutely love the Body Battery and Sleep Monitoring features on this watch. It has given me great insight on how alcohal effects your sleep cycle and restfullness. Being able to control music functions while riding a bike with our pulling out your phone is a big plus. Many more features to explore yet. So far Two Thumbs up for the Garmin Venu 2.

Bought this watch a year ago. Has many features I enjoy, especially playing music from the watch. Recently it has begun to lose pairing with my phone almost daily requiring deleting it from my phone and the Garmin Connect app to re-pair it. Highly irritating and detracting significantly from my enjoyment of the watch.

I have really enjoyed my Venu 2. It took a while to get used to the little problems that it has, but overall it has been good. Every once in a while issues pop up.....loses connectivity with my Edge cycle compouter, the calories burned feature tends to overestimate at time, sometimes the heart rate function takes a while to read accurately, once the battery hits 30%, it drains very quickly......thins like that. But when it is working correctly, which is 90% of the time, its great.

Wish I would have held off for the Venu 3 but I have no complaints.

Upgraded from Venu to Venu2 at Christmas and I'm very happy with the new version. All the features I loved plus many new workout tracking and activity options and an improved look.

Love everything about the watch. HTe the watchband. This watch is excelent in all the options and connecting to my LG60 phone. The band will dry your wrist out after a week or so. Battery life is awesome over 10 days. Love changing the watch face, there are lots of choices.

Bought it to monitor heart so that I can exercise 150 minutes weekly. It does a great job with it with walking, floor climbing. Not sure how well it records yoga, tennis, pickleball. It also has sleep score, body battery score. It would interesting to know how it is calculated and accuracy of the score. It has free app that can be customized for watch face. When connected with Bluetooth, I can respond on watch and if I have earbud, I can talk.

This is my first smart watch- purchased for me by a friend. Really nice looking watch! I am still learning how to use it. My only complaint is while using the GPS and Bluetooth it really drains my phone battery. Seriously thinking about adding another data plan for my watch. I particularly want the emergency feature always on.

This was a birthday present to me and a upgrade from my Versa 2, which I loved, but now I have a new love! My grandson highly recommend this one and he only wears Garmin! It does all the things and more that I used on my other watch. Thanks Grandson and Garmin!

Love the watch, it was bought to replace a still working 3 YO Garmin Vivoactive 3, for the better battery and screen. Also liked that my wife has the Body battery feature on her Venu 2S. Sadly it doesn't work correctly with mine as the HRV function interprets my Pacemakers pacing as constant stress and I never recharge the Body Batt. Also misses some REM sleep, (my old watch catches it) Still love it, I know I am sleeping well, even if it doesn't.

The watch is fantastic, and has a ton of great features, but for some reason, tapping the watch face doesn't bring up the display. It's kind of weird, but otherwise, it is a fantastic watch.

Overall no complaints, bought the watch a month ago to replace an older vicoactive. Very much enjoy the added features, capability, & screen. Battery life is good but not great; however, with all the features, Im still getting at least 3 days per charge.

I really like my Venu2. i upgraded from a Charge 4. Not a fair comparison berceuse the Venu 2 offers a ton more features. The data i get from a basic run or walk workout has a lot more detail then I have seen before. Love this watch!

I already had a Garmin Edge bike computer which I use with the excellent Garmin Connect app. The Venu pairs with the same Garmin Connect app, which convinced me to choose it. Now my walking and tennis activities are recorded in the Garmin Connect App and sent to Strava automatically. I can view all my physical sports activity on one either Garmin Connect or Strava. Love it.

My wife purchased the Venu 2 for my birthday. I had a Garmin Vivoactive 5 that I had managed to achieve 1,001 consecutive days of 10,000 steps. Well, the Vivoactive conked out and I started using the Venu 2??Wow??The graphics are amazing??The watch is amazing??I'm sad that that consecutive streak was ended, but what a difference an upgrade makes. I highly recommend the Venu 2 ??

Overall I don't think you can get a better value at the reduced price since the Venu 3 was launched. Get it before they are gone.

I have had my Venue 2 for 2 years and recently it's battery life has taken a nose dive, once it hits 30% left it immediately goes to 0% and dies. I've had other Garmin products before as well as have recommended them to my family. The durability shown on the venue 2 is not indicative of Garmin's Quality in my opinion.

The Venu 2 is my 3rd Garmin and by far the best. The screen is sharp and responsive. The features only improve upon my previous Venu SQ, adding stairs/elevation tracking and the improved battery life is great too.
