Garmin Venu 2 & 2S User Interface & Menu Walk-Through

Here's your complete user interface tour of the new Venu & Venu 2S models. I go through virtually every new (and old) feature from strength training to the muscle map, to health snapshot, widget glances, challenges, side by side shots between the Venu 1, Venu 2, Venu 2S, Vivoactive 4, and Vivoactive 4S, plus the new sleep tracking, PulseOx and plenty more. From sport modes to health stats, Body Battery to watch faces and backlight, I try and cover it all in this complete user interface tour and explainer packed full of practical tips and tricks.

I love my venu2- i love the great downloadable watch faces that have motion- bees that fly, corgis that chase tails and more. Love them

[danieloherrick]

I hope Garmin releases a Vivoactive 5 with these features. The OLED display is great, but I would rather have the reflective display

[JeffRElliott]

I just paused the video at 1:46 and that screen plus your camera and lighting setup look amazing in 4k.

Great stuff as always.

Ordered them today 🤩! Thank you very much for super detailed review on your web.

[Seerupu]

Wow, simply Superb, thanks for your time. 👍

Desfit has just entered an ultra to ramp up those steps :-D

[MrFalcman]

Any idea what version of Bluetooth this is using? Also, is this worth upgrading from the Vivoactive 4?

I would like to see full user interface walk through of the new garmin instinct 2 please... great video...

[takyiyakvsi]

Thanks for this! Always interesting what Garmin is up to with their new devices.

[Oxxychen]

Thank you so much! Do you/does your wife find the 2S good in terms of screen reaction? I tested the vivoactive 4s and saw that the screen sometimes missed my finger and did not react great, whereas the vivoactive 4 did work good. Did you have this as well with the Venu 2S? Or is the screen still good to read and interact with?

Do you swim with this watch? Thanks. Great review.

[MrFlaviucatinas]

I would have a question too. Maybe a stupid one. Is it safe to take a Venu 2 watch in sauna?

[cirrusclouds]

Thank you for such a detailed review. I just ordered the Garmin 245 which has emphasis on running. I
chose it over the Garmin 55 because of support for strength training in 245. Now I see the Venu 2 has those nice animations for the strength exercises, and showing the muscle groups. Those are nice but when I think of it, not really necessary, as I have books showing me how to do those exercises. Apart from the nice graphics, are the strength training features in the Venu 2 more advanced than those in the 245? What does the 245 miss out here?

Hi there, great review, many thanks for that. Quick question, I know that there is no training load / training status etc...can I supplement this (to obtain these values) by using / wearing a chest strap? Thx

[SammyGeek]

Great work as always, Sir. I may have to put this up against my Watch Active 2 (more of a smartwatch guy).

Great video I'm in love with this watch I ordered it and I'm waiting for it.
At last a garmin watch with a descend display.
Previous I had all xiaomi watches were beutifull but lack of fitness features and accuracy in measurements.
Then I went for garmin and the display was a disaster I couldn't even see it.
Venu 2 I think is the perfect combination of these

[MarcinUminski]

Great video and review, thank!
The watch seems very appealing for my wife, may buy one eventually.
Is there any chance, from your experience, that HIIT activity may come to Fenix 6 watches?

[incrediblez]

Would anyone know why the venu 2s doesn't track steps while in elliptical activity mode. It tracks steps while in normal watch mode but when i select elliptical it doesn't track steps. Funny thing is that i tried the elliptical mode on the venu 2 and it does track steps. I'm trying to get some ideas as to how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hello, very good review as always, I have two questions:
1. How strong is the vibration in alarms?
2. Is this new Health Snapshot function like Polar’s Orthostastic Test? Since it is combined with Body Battery as Polar did with Recovery Pro.

at the end:
"here's two minutes of me scratching these watches on a hard wood box, enjoy!"
