I’ve had mine for a little over 2 years now. Use it for running, training, workouts, etc. Im pleased with it overall and it does what it’s supposed to do. I believe they either just came out with the Venu 3 or they will be soon. So the 2 will likely go on sale soon if it’s not already.

I love it. It’s got me getting more steps than a mailman.

If you want something to keep up with runs, steps, etc., Apple Watches are best. The drawback is having to be recharged everyday. Assuming your not a poor and use Android.

I've had the original Venu for a couple of years.

Very happy with it.

Tracks my cycle rides, sleep, heart rate, O2 sats very well.

It will also track VO2 max if you're into that.

Venu2 is pretty much the same with improved battery life.


Would recommend

was a deal breaker for me. That is why I have a Garmin Forerunner...charge it once very 8-10 days.

Concur with that, when I wore the Garmin, I charged it once a week or so.

I can’t pick between Fenix 7 or Apple ultra.

I’ve had a fenix 5. And a regular Apple Watch.

It sucks they’re so different machines.

Garmin rarely needs a charge. It is for fitness. The data is awesome. But the phone app sucks. And navigating my fenix is not intuitive at all. Every button does something different for a different app or widget.

Apple Watch is great seamless integration. Tracks what it needs to track. But just seems a little toy ish at times. It’s essentially a fitness iPhone.

Every 16 days for my Garmin Fenix, if not longer due to the solar charging.

I once got a green text from my wife once and was 5 pages into drafting divorce papers when she called and explained iMessage had failed and she had to send via SMS.
