Hey guys, I forgot to mention the battery life 😅. But I did get the same result for both watches. I got on average 7-8 days of battery life with the Venu 2S & Vivoactive 5. Both have a great battery life in my opinion!

Thanks for this comparison. First time garmin buyers. Exactly what I wanted to see.

Great video AbbyBReviewing :) and I love the Venu 2S smaller size and I cant have a watch without floors climbed personally.

This vid is exactly what I was looking for! I was on the fence on both since currently there’s only a $20 difference right now on the sites I was looking at. Just got the venu 2S :)

Hi!! Im torn between the venu and the vivoactive mainly because of HRV. Does hrv matter a lot? In what situation should I consider HRV important? Thank you!

[deetles]

I like the upgrades on the Vivo 5….that sleep sensor includes a nap sensor and I like the HRV. I actually like amoled displays better than the transflectives. Ihave issues getting the charger to stay plugged in on the 2S and I can’t get the weather on my 2S either.

Hello. I recently purchased my first Garmin watch, the Vivoactive 5. Overall, I like the watch, however I am learning that some features I thought were "standard" with Garmin devices are not compatible on this watch. For example, I can create running routes in Garmin Connect, but cannot load them onto my watch. The same is true for creating a workout. I can create it in Garmin Connect, but when I try to send it to my device, the message is "not compatible". Can you confirm this or am I doing something wrong. I'm frustrated...I'm debating returning the watch for another that has these capabilities, but frankly the Garmin product range is challenging to understand, especially for a beginner. Any insight you can give would be appreciated. Thank you.

I liked 2s but will buy Vivoactive 5, because price in Turkey too much different 392$ and 610 $ 😢
Thank you for video ❤

I like all the health trackers on Vivoactive 5, but I'm looking for a smaller size smartwatch since I have a 5 inch wrist. If Venu would have the nap sensor and sleep coach I'd buy it, but have to keep looking. Any suggestions for a small size smartwatch that has the most health trackers, body battery, nap sensor and sleep coach etc.?

[andreag_m]

thank you! A question, does the Vivoactive calculate the meters of elevation climbed in the mountains?

[shilparao]

Since venu2s is a comparatively older model (2021) would you suggest it would be worth investing in that?..like will it get outdated after few yrs..im a beginner to the garmin series and plan to buy one that would last me at least 3-4yrs..its on sale right now so not much price difference between venu 2s & vivoactive 5

[edelwayscheryl]

Which one would you recommend for runner and I also go to gym frequently. Thanks.

[makingupaminute]

Do you think either of these are worth upgrading my garmin vivoactive 3 for?

[carahanes]

Hi- thanks for this- I can not find your side by side comparison? Can you re-link that or explain where I find it?

[Finn-qudu]

Does the vivoactive 5 look good on a smaller wrist?

[alanajanemansfield]

I bought Venu s but I am not receiving notifications unless I am right near my phone?

This was not the case with my last fit bit

Is this something you have experienced? Its very annoying and seems pointless to have the feature if you need to be right near your phone xx
