Reviews consensus: The Garmin Venu 2 is not a huge step up on its predecessor, but that’s no bad thing. It’s a smartwatch that looks good enough for wearing on a night out, but also works great when working out. The AMOLED display is bright and easy to read, it features a bunch of built-in apps, and it has excellent battery life. If you’re looking for a great fitness tracker, the Garmin Venu 2 is an excellent choice. There are some third-party apps, but you’ll enjoy better ones on other platforms like Wear OS from Google, or Apple’s watchOS.
TechRadar: ★★★★★ | T3: ★★★★★
Buy it if: You want a smartwatch/running watch with a big, bright display, and plenty of built-in tools like a calendar, music player, and more.
Don’t buy it if: You want something with access to additional third-party apps – something with Google Wear OS or an Apple Watch may be preferable.
