Overall great watch

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 3, 2023

Color: Slate/BlackVerified Purchase

I purchased the Garmin venu 2 Plus after reading a ton if reviews on diffrent smart watches. I have never owned a smart watch and was wanting to make a sound desicion. If you are like me, you wanted something that had good battery life and GPS tracking. I use the GPS to train my dog for work.

Pros- using GPS and workout functions consistently I still got 4 days of battery life, before I felt the need to charge it at 20%. The touch screen is as responsive as my phone, and I can receive calls on it using the built in speaker. I have showerd with it no issues.
Only real con I can think of is GPS tracking is off a bit. It is an issue for me, like I said I was wanting it for work.

Overall looks great, feels great, and does everything it says it will. I'm not sure how accurate GPS is on other smart watches but if that is a deal breaker I would do some serious research.

Great fitness tracking, but not a good smartwatch

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2022

Color: Slate/BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this in an attempt to get away from the major Android watch manufacturer. I do not heavily use smartwatch features, but I value a few things beyond fitness tracking.

Primarily, I want to be able to view and interact with notifications without having to take out my phone. Instantly, I was let down by the Garmin Venu 2+. The notification delivery was very unreliable, often not even notifying on my watch or notifying with a heavy delay of 5-10 seconds. Once the notification was on the watch, the ability to action on the notification was pretty poor. You have to scroll all the way through the whole notification to be able to get to the action links - compare to other watches where you always have an action hamburger menu available - which is a poor UX. If you have multiple notifications, good luck. You can only immediately action on the latest, and the other notifications you have to navigate through the glances menu which takes a lot of inputs to get through. Compare to other watches where all notifications are immediately accessible from the home watch screen. Not to mention, there is no ability to suppress notifications when you are using the phone, something that I took for granted on other watches.

The supporting phone software is also pretty poor. Trying to install new watch faces took hours as the app just didn't want to install them onto the phone. I googled this and apparently this has been an issue for years and the solution is...just keep reopening the app until it works. Disappointing to say the least. And the Garmin Connect app, while it has a huge amount of metrics, is sadly restrictive. I can't even push my weight into the app from my smart scale because they only allow Garmin scales to do that.

Another major feature missing is wireless charging. What kind of a watch releases in these times without wireless charging? The watch does come with a very short proprietary charger. Fortunately, it doesn't need to charge that often, but it is a far cry from just throwing the watch on a wireless pad when showering.

The fitness sensors are the only redeeming features here. They are definitely better than other watches you can get. But, how much better? I did a comparison with another watch and found that despite all the accuracy hype...they were pretty much the same. On a 3 mile walk, distance was 0.02 miles difference, and calories burned were within 10. The GPS appeared smoother on the Venu, but was pretty much identical otherwise. I would argue unless you are doing heavy training, particularly running, you are fine with the sensors on other watches.

All in all, this is a beautiful watch that I really wanted to like, but it seems that Garmin has not yet grasped what makes a "smartwatch" easy to use. Making a tree of menus is not fun. If they could bring that finishing touch and add basic functionality like wireless charging, this would be a killer watch. Unfortunately, they haven't yet.

Number Six

Works As Advertised - No problems

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2022

Color: Slate/BlackVerified Purchase

This is the 5th smartwatch I've ordered/received in the attempt to replace my June 02, 2019, now 3yr old $41.49 cent Kronoz ZeRound 2 call/receive watch, and finally this GARMIN VENUE 2+ seems to be the device I've been searching for! The other 4 devices which didn't work due to the authorized dedicated app not pairing with my phone or whatever the problem was?!!? I was surprised I had pairing issues with my Samsung A 52 5G phone for some odd reason. I was about to give up on replacing the watch when I decided to try the GARMIN VENUE 2+ but with my Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro phone and everything works! The app works, pairing effortlessly. The call/receive function works, the health features work, and the messaging works. That is all I wanted.

I will mention that the other 4 unnamed devices I tried to use with my Samsung smartphone and shuddered to think the phone might've been the problem? The devices may work fine with other phones IDK?!!? I returned the watches before I thought to even try my Xiaomi Poco smartphone. [I have nothing against Samsung products at all and use my Tab S7 daily.]

I am now using said Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro with the GARMIN watch, and there have been no issues whatsoever. N-O-N-E!! I have not tried to pair it with the Samsung and will most probably try that sometime in the future, but I'm not eager to do so since the Poco phone works so well with the GARMIN watch as desired. I don't need all of the Sport Activity functions except for about 3 or 4 of them, as all I truly wanted was to be able to call/receive via Bluetooth, use Heart rate, Sleep, Steps, O2 and other related health functions.

I am quite pleased with the GARMIN VENUE 2+ smartwatch but still wonder why I had such difficulty with the other watches. They ranged in price from $$ to $$$. So while I paid the most ($463.00) for this GARMIN watch I have no complaints! Another big plus is the advertised battery-life which also was an ability I wanted on my watch. Yep, it eliminates up the need to charge it frequently. I have had no issues with the GARMIN watch nor the Connect app whatsoever. [There was even a Number 6 "The Prisoner" watch face!!😊) I'll update again in September 2022 to report anything pro or con since I've only been using this device for less than 2 weeks. But it worked right away from the moment I unboxed it, affixed it to my wrist, and never looked back. I didn't even need to charge it! Yes, I'm chuffed all around. Honestly, we ALL just want the "stuff to work" the first time and continue to do so without fail, right? This Venue 2+ provides that for me.

Last 5-6 days on a charge, not an Apple Watch.

This is a great watch for sleep tracking, steps taken, pulse o2, hrv (body battery). It takes phone calls and actually runs Spotify well. It does not do all the stuff that an Apple Watch does, but not what I wanted anyway.

Great Watch

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 19, 2022

Color: Slate/BlackVerified Purchase

Bought this Venu 2 Plus about 8 months ago and thought it was time to give a fairly long term use review. Prior to buying this watch I had owned a few others, including several Amazfit as well as Fitbit Versa 3 and Sense. One of the most important features I look for in a smart watch is long battery life and this watch absolutely shines in that department. During periods when I am not using continual heart monitoring or GPS, I am easily getting 10 days of use between charges. The Amazfits and Fitbits also have great battery life but the major activity use for me is golf and neither the Amazfit or Fitbits can touch this watch for use for golf. Garmin is the industry leader for golf watches and while this model is not golf specific, like several other Garmin watches, a lot of the functionality of the Garmin golf specific watches are also available on the Venu 2 Plus so this watch meets my golf needs perfectly. I also really like the Bluetooth call functionality, as well as receiving emails and texts and being able to send voice dictated responses (thru the voice assistant), and this watch has great voice assistant functionality allowing for the use of Google assistant, Bixby or Siri. The watch is quite expensive, and there are watches from Apple or Samsung that are less expensive and have even more functionality, but I am not interested in having a watch that I have to charge every day or two, so for my use and needs, this watch blows those others out of the water. Has a really sharp and bright amoled screen and hundres of watchfaces to choose from, many of which offer all sorts of customization of data displayed, colors, fields etc. The watch itself is fairly lightweight and I find the stock band very comfortable. There are a reasonable number of apps that can be added, but no where near what is available for Samsung and Apple watches. If the Galaxy watches could give even half the battery life of this watch I might consider one for some extra app functionality, but until that happens I will definitely be staying with Garmin.

Great looking watch; has some painpoints.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 29, 2022

Color: Slate/BlackVerified Purchase

The design, look and feel are great foremost.

The Garmin software has some way to go, sadly... It is not the smoothest when selecting your watch faces and in some sections, harder to navigate and just not as smooth as Fitbit... HOWEVER, I will never go for Fitbit because they charge monthly to get features, even through the design there is great. Fitbit is also really slow and lame.
Many positives and some negatives about this Garmin watch.. Some android apps lack but Garmin has their second app to download the apps. Price is high, even on sale.... Design is just the best of them all.

Connectivity is still a major issue as it sometimes takes over my phone calls, mid-call when I am using a Bluetooth headset, for example.

Battery LIFE IS THE BEST OF THEM ALL, THOUGH...LIKE 5-10% A DAY, WHICH IS JUST WOW... GALAXY WATCHES ARE GOOD 1-2 DAYS AND THAT IS PUSHING IT. This watch, can outdo a week easy, even if used a lot! The Screen is so vivid and although Gorilla Glass 3 (not Sapphire as Galaxy watches are), twill do the job! You need a screen protector against scratches tho.

Great watch and amazing customer service

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 23, 2022

Color: Cream Gold/IvoryVerified Purchase

I did alot of research on sport/smart watches. I chose Garmin because it is one of the more accurate trackers in regards to steps, activities, sleep and health tracking. Of course non are going to be perfect, but Garmin seems to lead on accuracy from what I could see.

I absolutely love it. Easy to set up, easy to use. Battery life is pretty good. I have the pulse ox on for sleep all night so I find I charge every 3 or 4 days. I usually just charge it when I'm sitting down in bursts of 10 to 20 minutes every few days. I've never had an issue with it being low. It charges incredibly quickly. From reading about the batteries used in the watch, short bursts of charging is recommended.

About 2 weeks in I somehow had a large scratch across the whole watch. I was pretty bummed because I had only had it for a little while. I called Garmin to see if they could send me a new glass front or if I could get it repaired. Scratches are not covered by warranty but the Garmin still went ahead and replaced the entire watch free of charge. Their customer service was beyond amazing.

My only negative is I wish they had an option of getting a non silicone watch band on purchase. I'd much prefer a a nylon band as the silicone I find can be irritating and sweaty.

You can purchase after market watch bands, but the Garmin watch band pins that attach to the watch are slightly thicker than other brands so the non garmin branded straps aren't as secure.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 22, 2022

Color: Slate/BlackVerified Purchase

What a classy and superb watch! Had to return the cheaper Garmin as the silicone triggered off contact dermatitis. Was hesitant to try another Garmin but glad I tried. Fantastic features, superb software, nice interface, thoughtful functions, accurate readings (yes, I compared with the very accurate Pilar 10 chest strap) except the first 5 minutes are totally off. Don’t worry - you aren’t going into tachycardia! Takes about 5-7’ to stabilize and then the reading is spot on. Right to the exact HR! Very nice Body Battery. Nobody can compete with Garmin for stats. You want detailed stats - you got it! The Venu screen is lovely. The device works on both Android (V. 11) and iOS 13. No quick response on iPhone but that’s Apple problem. Battery could be better but hey, it’s 3-4 times longer than AW. The graphs are cool and built-in GPS is really accurate. Well, Garmin does GPS for aircraft and water boats and so on. So, no surprise. Wish it had Qii charging but that’s a minor inconvenience. Overall, extremely pleased with Venu. The voice is okay - nothing to work home about but it’s there. Like a moonroof you don’t use most of the time. Good for emergencies. The Emergency button is very good. Hope not to use it 😉. 5 stars unreserved.

Excelente relógio, eu tinha um Galaxy active que a bateria durava menos de um dia e os exercícios eram limitados, já com o venu 2 plus vc consegue adicionar os seus exercícios e sua ficha de academia isso é muito bom.
Muito confortável e bonito.
Recomendo que compre uma película também pra garantir que não vai arranhar.
Tive uma duração média de 7 dias de bateria com uso constante.
