Garmin Venu 2
Old tricks
Even though the Garmin Venu 2 offered a significant step up over the original Venu, it's feeling its age at this point. It still looks gorgeous and has solid battery life, but its "mainstream" focus doesn't work quite as well without the latest Garmin software or mic/speaker combo.
For
- More affordably priced
- Vibrant display and battery life still impress
- Has most of the same sensors, sports modes
Against
- No Sleep Coaching / nap detection / HRV status
- GPS-only tracking
- No mic or speaker
- Missing recovery time after workouts
