Best Smart Watch I've Owned
Ok I've owned a lot of smart watches: Apple Watch 44mm Nike Cellular, Huawei Watch 2, Fitbit Versa, Fitbit Versa 2, FitBit Sense, Galaxy Watch 2 42mm, Fossil Sport, Fossil Gen 5. Overall the best out of all of these was the Apple Watch for sure but it came with some drawbacks like battery life.Starting with my use case: I want a good fitness tracker, good battery life, a nice screen and notifications on my wrist. I don't care about apps on my watch as long as it vibrates when I get a message or call I'm happy.The Garmin Venu 2 is perfect. I've owned it for over a week and I've only just had to charge it. Honestly I don't know how it's able to do everything it does and have that amount of battery life. 10 days with normal use is insane!!It's been great at counting steps and mapping my walks so far (need to increase the exercise routines). I love that I can save the animated workouts to my watch as well.It's comfortable, light weight and does everything I need it to do.Biggest question: do I rate it higher than the Apple watch? Yes with a but. I don't think I ever took full advantage of the Apple watch. It was great but I just don't care about apps at all. The only thing the Apple watch had over this is a more distinct vibration on my wrist.If this was to break I would buy another one because it's so amazing. Garmin have really shocked me with this watch!!Just buy one it's brilliant.

Best Garmin yet
I've previously had the Garmin 225 and then 235, and this feels like a natural evolution and step up from those.I toyed with getting the 245, but the Venu 2 won out for me with the slightly more refined design. It looks classy on the wrist and bridges the gap between smart-watch and activity tracker really well in my opinion.Battery life on Garmins is always excellent, and this is no exception. Running or biking 3/4 times a week, I'm only ha ing to charge once a week, and feel like this could last forever.Very good UI - the range of activities is impressive, and feel I could benefit even more from getting cadence sensors for my spin bike (the watch encourages you to do this which is a nice touch).I've only used the on board music feature a couple of times, but think I'll start to do this more so I can ditch the phone.Only slight downside is a struggle getting Garmin pay working with my starling card - it's not the end of the world and I'm unlikely to ever need it, but it is worth knowing that the software for that element is slightly glitchy.Still, an excellent smart-watch/activity tracker hybrid, and fully deserving of its 5 stars here.

Fantastic watch with great features
Fantastic watch and great variety of features for the cost. The watch itself tracks every stat you could want and is so easy to use.I love my Venu 2 and would really struggle to change from Garmin moving forward.

Liking the Watch So far
Good watch. Light weight. Bright display, responsive enough. Build quality looks really tough and robust. I have installed a screen protector to avoid any scratches.I'm getting about 6 days battery life for my daily use for exercise without using GPS and i believe by just using the watch and not exercising everyday I could get 10 days. Sleep tracking is really accurate.I find the heartrate monitor very accurate when compared to the heartrate monitor on the Technogym threadmill I am using. I have used a Toobur fitness tracker, Ruinmen smartwatch and other cheap ones. It is clear that the Garmin Venu 2 is very accurate. Steps counting is accurate, distance covered on the threadmil is also accurate. Floors climbed is accurate. For the first use you will be told to enter the distance covered on the threadmill so that the watch can calculate the calories burnt. After that I find it accurate for later uses of the threadmill. For both distance and caloriesApart from this I am enjoying my watch. Comfort is good. I sleep with it without feeling any inconvenience. The size is Ok making it easy to read exercise data easily. I have a small wrist but it still looks OK. Has the looks of a dress watch so can be used for both exercise and when dressed.Garmin Pay is set up with my Monzo card and its working very well. Set up was very easy.Not yet assessed the body battery, says I need to run for 15 mins with GPS to obtain a new VO2 max. The current one is 46 since I got the watch.I use to use my Samsung galaxy A71 as my main step counter and fitness tracker as the other fitness trackers i had were not accurate. But now I'm happy to have a watch that allows me to leave my phone at home when doing exercise, dropping the arm band tied on my hand where i use to carry my phone. I like that can read all data from my watch without needing to go with my smartphone.One downside is: I don't know whether it is just my piece or a general issue but i noticed that I cannot control the volume of music when playing from Spotify from my watch unto my bluetooth headphone all other stuff like pause, skip are working. The volume control is there. You see the volume going up on the watch but there is no reaction on the headphone. For music playing from my phone however, I can skip, pause and play and and here I can control the volume. So for the moment I just manage the way I put on the headphone to control the level of sound on my ears. Possibly by changing the headphones the response will be OK. Not yet loaded MP3 on the phone so cannot tell how that will work out.One other thing that could be improved: I wish there were more button controls of exercise sessions for when my hands get sweaty and the touchscreen stops responding.Overall value for money: satisfied so far even though i've not yet used some features like Garmin coach.
