So I’ve got a pretty good feel on how well the Venu 2 works, and where its quirks are.
While my wife uses the Venu 2S on her workouts and 24×7.
I’ve been using the Venu 2 for a number of weeks now 24×7, as well as on all my recent workouts. A new generation optical heart rate sensor also brings with it infrared sensors for increased PulseOx accuracy. A new integrated processor and GPU increase graphic power, making it the first watch to support Garmin’s Connect IQ 4.0 app platform – as well as a significantly revamped user interface that feels a bit more modern and polished. Under the covers though are arguably some of the biggest changes. The Venu 2 series sports two sizes now (45mm and 40mm), as well as a slew of updated health and sports features.
