Garmin Venu: Gold GPS Smartwatch with Bright Touchscreen Display, Music, Body Energy Monitoring, Animated Workouts, Pulse Ox Sensor and More – Black Band Review

The watch is very stylish, light, you can always change the display / brightness, etc. But zen comes after a month of playing with watch settings)

Surprised by the large number of rave reviews, so I decided to leave a negative review to warn potential buyers from possible disappointment from a not the cheapest fitness tracker with a claim to a smart watch with a poor-quality function for determining heart rate during workouts. For me, getting a Venu in 2022 seems very questionable in terms of price / benefit. 1. If you need a smartwatch with the ability of an amateur fitness tracker, it is much more reasonable to buy an Apple Watch. 2…

I bought it as a sport accessory and was very pleasantly surprised by the possibilities. I use it mostly in the gym and for running. For a year, the glass was not scratched and, in general, the body is alive, despite active use. NFC works fine. The music control functions are very convenient.

The wow effect of the screen is provided even to the most captious. The original silicone strap is very comfortable. Glitches were not noticed. They charge very quickly, it seems that in 30 minutes completely from the computer. I use it at 80% screen brightness, so the battery lasts only 3 days, but this is with the heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter always on. We connected with Samsung Note 9 once and for all). There are a lot of interesting analytics for lovers of their health and fitness.

It catches, to put it mildly, awful, you need to wait 30 minutes until the clock finds a satellite. Broken pixels appeared, warranty support in the 2022 simply merged. The notorious company Navikom, posing as an exclusive representative.

The possibilities were a really nice surprise to me after I purchased it as a sport gear. I usually use it for running and at the gym. The glass was not scratched for a year, and despite frequent use, the body is generally alive. No issues with NFC. The controls for the music are quite practical.

Excellent watch, there used to be frontiers, I don’t regret that I left Samsung and didn’t buy watchactive 2 Pros below: 5 days without charging, almost everything is on, only the aod is turned off and the pulse oximeter works at night, the tracks write accurately, I checked it while riding a bike, the graphs never went wrong, sleep counts only when I sleep. There is no irritation on the hand from the native strap, synchronization with the phone in the Garmin Connect application does not…

Different pros: They have a universal design, a comfortable soft strap, the ability to quickly change the straps. Given the quality of the display, good autonomy - enough for 4 days with one or two workouts. For a non-professional athlete, great functionality for different activities. I did not notice any serious lies in terms of measured indicators. Very functional and convenient Garmin Connect web-interface (viewing activities and other indicators). Convenient payment with Garmin Pay, no more

In terms of price / quality ratio, the best solution on the market for amateur athletes and for those who simply monitor their health Has pros: Perhaps these are the best smartwatches in the middle price category: - Appearance is universal for any style of clothing. - Stable software, clear interface - got used to management in 10 minutes. Regular firmware and firmware ates improve device performance. - Accurate work of sensors, obviously not worse than competitors - compared with Samsung…

Cool watch, look harmonious, very functional. I do fitness, run, swim, ride a bike - for all these there are convenient modes with statistics. There is a running coach for example. I swam in them in the sea - I work as they did, I don’t even take them off in the sauna. I managed to take them for half the price from a friend to whom they were presented, but he wanted an apple watch) I probably wouldn’t take it for the full price, although I can afford to buy any watch. I bought something like…

The watch shows heart rate, stress level, breathing rate, calories burned per day, distances and ascents / descents by floors, stress, rest and sleep levels. The watch includes basic types of workouts, I use running on a simulator, cardio, Pilates (it counts breathing perfectly) I created my own workout so that you can track your heart rate at different times of the workout (the application on your phone allows you to create a workout yourself). It is convenient to view workouts and then adjust

Great watch, my wife loves it. The number of functions is simply amazing, but it is not very convenient that it is difficult to use all this. Sometimes, for example, you can not understand whether the training is included. Well, I would already like some standard universal way to charge in 2022. If you go somewhere, you have to drag another cable that is suitable only for watches. And, of course, the lack of navigation at least from turn to turn upsets. But despite all these shortcomings, this…

I bought a watch in the aliexpress store. Pleasantly surprised by its impeccable fit, no other watch sat on the hand as well as this one. Next came the introduction to the OS. The watch is more sports than everyday, so everything does not look as beautiful as on the same apple / Samsung watch. But everything is very intuitive and understandable. That's where the positives ended. The first disappointment was how the watch works during sports. When jogging on the track, the watch overestimated…

I bought this watch thinking I needed an upgrade from my Garmin Forerunner 230. This version is trendy and looks smaller on my wrist which I'm hoping would have. Another thing that I was VERY interested in was the music feature. I used the race music feature and it worked flawlessly. I didn't have my phone with me during these runs and the music downloaded to my watch was perfect! Battery life has been excellent so far, with a full charge of up to 5k - with GPS and the music function - my watch

I have been using Garmin watches for ten years now and trust me when I tell you to save your money with this watch. I had the original Vivoactive (square) and loved it. I had a Vivoactive 3 and it was very buggy for the first 6 months but then it got better. until a software update resulted in less than half the battery life compared to before. So I decided to switch to this one. This stupid watch CONSTANTLY disconnects from my phone and only reconnects if I repeat each troubleshooting step…

The Venu is a great watch but the week I've had it I've had a headache. I called Revain support twice: once about the inability to check the time using gestures, and the second time about the horrible "IQ!" icon on the screen. Revane was friendly but didn't know much about the clock. They got me restarting my watch, turning it on and off, and reinstalling the Garmin IQ app. These steps fixed the issues temporarily. With the continued "IQ!" error, I called Garmin tech support who said the issue…

This is my first Garmin. I used to have Fitbits and Samsung Gear Fit2 watches. I don't normally post reviews but I did a lot of research to make my decision to buy this watch so I figured I read the reviews a lot and it helped me so why not do this to help someone out maybe ele. I've only had the watch for a few days, but so far I'm loving it! I've used them on several workouts including running outdoors with GPS and it was spot on! I like how it fits, it's very light for me. They fit my wrist…
