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

Love all the data is showes

My only thing I have hard time with is sleep mode. I go to bed every night 11:20 to 11: 30, and get up 6:30 to 7:00. Sleep all night. But my score is 40 low to 76 high. It shows I am awake 3 to 5 times. This is the same for the year and half I have the Ven2+.

Makes for a clear and convenient phone!

I.ve had the Venu 2 Plus for gosh, maybe a year? Time flies, and so does my memory! I like the functionality of adding calendars as my mood dictates; but specifically I like having the phone on my watch; mainly since i carry my cell phone on a clip-on pouch hanging on my belt. Plus, if I don't want to take the call, with a swift swipe of my finger i can cancel the call. Finally, the sound bar works great. Whatever sound I happen to use for incoming calls, I hear the movement and I'm ...

Great watch

I bought it mostly for golf. Works great for that and way faster compared to my old Vivoactive 3. I love the watch face I’m using compared to my Apple Watch. The only thing would be responses on text messages would be nice for iPhones. Apparently android allows it.

Bought renewed Venu 2 plus

Bought renewed Venu 2 plus. Looked brand new, no problems, selected a beautiful watch face from choices on watch & looks great.

Great features

I tried to use a Fitbit for 2 years. Sleep information was my primary interest. I was so impressed with the reports when it worked. I even became a premium member (trying to get better consistent sleep information) and what a waist of money and time. My Venu 2 plus is the best possible monitor of all facets of this 78 year old man. I am so very impressed with all the features and I am still finding new features. It's a journey to find and use all the fantastic features.

Good...except for

Had the Venu 2 plus for over a year. Biggest issue is when you don't wear it for a day or two, android phone won't automatically reconnect. Maybe phone issue but it's a pain to reinstall the thing everytime! May be last garmin watch.

I am struggling

I want to love this watch, I really do, but I’m just struggling. Ive been a life long Apple Watch user but the battery just wasn’t holding. I was really interested in the Garmin for the battery and the golf app. so I took the plunge. I love the battery—it’s amazing! But I can’t get the golf app to work, no matter how many times I’ve tried. And I find the interface confusing. It’s just not as intuitive as an Apple Watch. I just shouldn’t have to spend this much time trying to get this to do all t...

Venu2Plus

Seems to have everything you need to keep track of your health and fitness

Great features

Liked it enough to purchase same one for a gift to my elderly father keeps him busy

Great battery life.

I really like this watch. the battery life is the best thing about it. No more worrying about being away from my charger for too long. Still trying to get use to the different features. I feel that it does not track my exercises automatically as well as my gear 4.

I love this watch

I’ve owned a Fitbit and an Apple Watch and this puts them both to shame. Great watch, very pretty, awesome features. Worth the money.

Best Switch Ever!

I finally made the switch from my Apple Watch to this and I love it!! It doesn’t last the full 9 days it’s supposed to, but still significantly longer than my Apple Watch! It’s much cuter to wear and also records all of my activities & workouts accurately! I had been using Strava as my main recording for running because my Apple Watch’s milage was way off. Garmin and Strava have the same milage count. So many things to love about the Garmin!! I’m still learning to use it, but I have no bad thing...

Nice upgrade

I recently purchased this as my previous venu2 failed as it appears to have taken on water. Garmin did not warranty it. So I went to the plus with extra features and a deal I could not refuse. At this time I am very pleased with it but of course time will tell.

Love this watch/health aid

This is an excellent watch. I use it all the time especially to track my cardiac health. I was having some atrial fibrillation and finally decided to get an ablation. My cardiologist referred me to the surgeon who does this type of procedure. He wanted to implant a device in my chest to monitor my heart arrhythmi. Since I was able to follow my arrythmias by taking ECGs with my watch, I just showed him a number of printouts that I had taken during the previous months - no need for further d...

My new Venu 2 plus

I received this as a birthday/Father's Day gift and I am really enjoying it so far. Still learning all it is capable of but love the activity tracking and sleep tracking. Also just turned on the hydration tracker, that has been helpful on these hot summer days. Looking forward to trying out the golf app tomorrow. Overall, very much in like with it and looking forward to utilizing more of the features

Love it!!

I used an Apple Watch for years and loved it but since I run a lot now I wanted something that would better keep track of my running/track workouts. I tried the Corros but wanted more of the smart watch feathers that the apple watch has. This is the perfect mesh of smartwatch and high level athlete watch. For reference I am a college XC and track athlete in NC and it has been amazing!

Very questionable

I purchased this because of the features and advertised battery life. Unfortunately, I’ve had constant issues with the battery. I love the features and the battery just does not last. After hours of phone (texting) support, resetting the watch I was told that it’s the way the watch is…. Very disappointing

Complicated use.

I am a person who generally has no problem with electronic devices. However, I find this device to be a little confusing. I got it to help me keep track of my fitness and also to use during golfing. After downloading the courses I play, I can't seem to find where the app is after installing it. Frustrating.

Good but to improve.

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

Great replacement for my Apple Watch

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.
