What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—screen responsiveness issues—aligns with critic block 8's note that the watch "doesn't tend to handle early morning going back to sleep well," suggesting wake-gesture reliability problems.
In their words
“This is an absolutely gorgeous watch! I have had the Fenix 5s Plus and an Apple Watch and the Venu 2 Plus is by far my favorite watch of the two. The amoled screen is so crisp and high tech looking which makes the Venu easily stand out from the rest of the Garmin series. I love having the ability to program workouts and create my own workouts in the HIIT activity and strength activity. I love that”

“This watch has so many features and I've only tapped into half of them. I hated the vinyl band so got a metal one on Amazon that I love. Mostly use this watch for sleep tracking and hikes. There are lots of tutorials online. I'm just lazy. I'll get to it eventually. UPDATE: 1) charging cable not only failed within three months but even the replacement falls out constantly. 2) battery lasts about 5”
