Ratings & Reviews for Garmin Venu 2 Plus with Silicone Band (Black Case, Slate Bezel)

Keeps flipping, went too dark to see the clock fac

Actually, the Garmin Venu 2 Plus replacement I recently go was working wonderfully well, then the same problems I had with the original began-- a "fast flipping" (looping) screen state. I followed all the directions for resyncing and resetting the watch and nada. It's just flipping and flipping. It's useless. And I'm sorry about that because the wonderful young women who looked at the watch from Oregon said, yes, there was a problem and got me a replacement as I was still in warranty.. Howe...

It has Everything I want in my Smartwatch

Been using Venu 2 plus for a couple of years now. Love it. It has almost everything I would like in a smart watch - activity trackers, sleep tracking and heart rate records. Funny thing is it correctly warns me of my stress level when I am over stressed. 7 day battery life on Smartwatch mode is a plus. Fits just right on my wrist like it better than the Venu 3

Good Watch, Could Use Some Improvement

There are a lot of features that I like on this watch...namely all of the available apps, the watch face options, the battery length and it's connectivity to my phone and computer. Really, the only thing that irritates me is that too often, when I gesture to read the time, it won't display. I have to push one of the buttons to turn it on so I can see the time. I would guess it happens about 10% of the time. I might have it set up incorrectly...dunno. I've had it for several years...basically whe...

Sometimes garmin connect acts up, but overall I love all my garmin products. I use this as my daily wear. I have kids so the smart features are great, not always needing to grab my phone to know whos callinge. The feature I use the most is locating my phone with the ping. Battery life is excellent, usually get 6-10 days depending on how many activities I track

Works great

I've had no problems, the only thing I wish it was solar so the battery would last

Good watch

This is not a new watch .Ive had it for years.I had to pair again with my phone.Was having trouble connecting. I use for walking .

ECG!!!

Love the ECG feature on this piece! Haven't tried any of the other activity modes yet though.

Really enjoy this watch

I love the ease of operation in general. I wish i could put more exercise choices as easy access but that is not that big a deal.

Great watch

I got it my wrist for almost 3 years, I only take it once in a week for charging. It's my best partner for training and for all over day to read messages, heart beat, steps and sleep score. It works very good in an Iphone and in a Samsung. It's almost time to replace it for a new one but i'm sure that will be a Garmin

I feel fulled

All looks good, but I bought it, because I wanted to have a smartwatch with EKG, but in Poland this function doesn’t work. It is locked by geographical location :-(

Frustration Fighter

Have used it for about 2-3 months/ has every app/widget that I need and many that I don't need. IMPORTANT: Lets one recover seamlessly from a careless touch or button push, unlike my vivoactive 5 which I eventually took a hammer to in order to rid myself of unending frustration,...it felt so good!

Fun with voice

Wish it had pole water swim bc all the add on apps/widgets suck but the watch is great! It works identical to my Vivoactive, Vivoactive 2, Vivoactive 3, and Vivoactive 4s music…. Only difference is cleaner clearer screen images and vision as well as the voice. So far so good- it’s only been a few weeks

great watch

I am very happy with this watch, it is great. love all features

A Step Up

I previously have owned versions of the vivoactive series and liked them but the venu 2 plus is definitely a step above them. The addition of the afib recognition and mini speaker (although not very loud) is very nice. The screen resolution and battery life are also better. Running/cycling metrics are excellent and intuitive. Music feature (especially with spotify snd amazon music) are easy to set up. Sensors (bike and hr strap) set up easily. All-in-all a true upgrade and worth the price.

Shame, it could have been a lot better

I have owned several Garmin watches and none of them quite make it. The bioactive lacked some functions, the forerunner 255s had excellent features but not stylish. The Venu 2 Plus looks better but for some reason we have lost the SPO and HRV measuring. It's the same sensor so why? Great shame.

Great in general!

I got mine for Christmas, it works great! Although I would like some more possibilities for example being able to control camera on phone without having to get a different app. And also I live in Sweden one big thing for me is that I can’t check ecg, it makes it almost a dealbreaker. I would also like it to be able to put in more everyday/ casual mode. Reading news and such on it, not only notifications.

what's on it is great

I'm very sad because 2 years ago they promised that it would soon have an ECG ( EKG ) in Europe. It still doesn't. It's not a big operation to connect it.

Great Garmin Venu2 plus

I bought my Garmin Venu2 Plus about one year ago and it still works like a brand new watch.

Not impressed

I bought this because I wanted a watch that could track my workouts but I am so disappointed with the functionality. I wanted to use it for lap swimming and open water swimming but it misses laps in the pool and doesn’t work at all for open water. For x/c skiing and hiking it doesn’t have the auto pause so whenever you stop you have to remember to stop and start it. Also, when it’s wet you can’t get it to swipe which is a real pain. Definitely regret this purchase.

Overall, best smartwatch I have owned

This watch is exceptionally well made and performs flawlessly.
