Yes its still worth it in 2024! But with it getting harder to find, I'd buy it ASAP if your interested😊
Thanks for this review!
Great video!! And keep up the great content I love watching your reviews 😊
Thanks amy0012 💜
Super helpful video as a lot of other people won't review an item much longer after the initial launch date. So heading your opinions of this watch right now are awesome because there are those of us in 2023 that might be considering it still!!! Helpful info, thank, thanks again!!!
Hi Devin, I'm glad you found this video helpful! I definitely think it's improtant to talk about items well after the the initial launch. And thanks for sharing 😊
Your reviews are both informative and enjoyable. Thank you! I grabbed one today during the Amazon prime sale!
Thanks! And nice I hope you enjoy your new Vivoactive 😊
Thank you sooo much for this! Been contemplating for this or the forerunner 165 but im not really active in running. Just prolly once a week and have a very small wrists! 🥺
Thank you for this video! This was exactly the info I was looking for. Venu 2s just purchased and so excited to upgrade my current watch!
Great to hear! And nice I hope you enjoy your new Venu 2S :)
I’m really enjoying my month-old Venu 2S! I’m glad I made the switch to Garmin from
Fitbit after my Charge 3’s screen faded away. Garmin’s hardware and software seem very solid, and I love the amount of customization allowed, like rearranging my stats order, choosing alarm labels, and making my own watch faces through the “Face It” tool in the Connect IQ app. The fact that it could measure indoor rowing is awesome and saves me from having to input data manually like I did with my previous device. While I found Fitbit‘s sleep tracker more accurate, everything else with the Venus 2S is amazing.
Great to hear you are enjoying your Venu 2S switch, and thanks for sharing 😊
Nice video! Very helpful :)
Thank you Kris 🥰
This was such a well-done review! I'm in the market for a new smart watch and I love how you organized your thoughts and included cons as well as all the reasons you love it. Thank you for helping me make my decision!
Thank you! And I'm glad it was helpful with your decision!
I agree with everything of what you said! Specially the updates thing. I have a Forerunner 35 (released in 2016) and is still getting updates! Even though I'm not looking for a watch now, your reviews are always enjoyable to "watch" 😀 Cheers Abby!!
Oh thats awesome your Forerunner 35 is still getting updates! I'm happy to hear your enjoying my watch reviews & are watching them even though your not looking for a watch at the moment 😊. Nice pun lol. And thanks for sharing nicozica!
This video is very well made. I hope your channel will continue to grow
Thank you! 🥰
^ this ❤.
Thanks for watching! Hit that SUBSCRIBE button ❤. And comment below I love hearing from all of you😊
I got it for a days and I love it. My main complaint would be a slightly awkward intro and explanation how to use it but their Garmin support has everything explained. Loving it! I highly recommend it to everyone interested in it :D
I just bought it second hand but it's practically new! I love it! Thanks for your video!
Nice! Glad your loving it KC Cooper :)
just bought one today thanks to your video! it has everything i need and more
Great to hear! I hope you enjoy it :)
It's on sale right now on Amazon on I am so tempted! I really want one 🤔 maybe maybe
En cherchant pour acheter une première montre connectée, je suis tombé sur votre video très intéressante. Merci pour votre retour d'expérience sur cette Venue 2S 👍
Content que mes vidéos vous soient utiles :)
I've just picked this us. Love your reviews as always
Oh nice! Hope you enjoy it, and thank you 💜
Hope so hubby been nagging me to get on e for ages. I have a samsung s3 and battery is shocking.
Great video, helping me make a decision to switch to Garmin from Whoop. Does the Venu 2S recognize activity or do you have to tell it that you’re starting a workout? My Whoop recognizes activity & measures without me doing anything.
Thank you! And yes it does, Garmin calls this Move IQ which can auto track and determine activities. However, it's more accurate to manually choose and start an activity(ex. Run, yoga, cycling, walk), as it could guess the activity wrong.
Fab video! Can you say-how good is it while swimming? Thanks!
Thank you! And it works well, if worn snug you can track your heart rate while swimming and underwater. Also tracks distance and strokes accurately in my experience.
Garmin for the win with stylish design and updates! Thanks for the video it was helpful :)
Hi Sarah, happy to hear you found this video helpful 😊
Hi Abby, after watching all of your videos about the Venu2s including those that compare it with other smartwatches, I waited until I found a price I could afford and just bought it! I’m really excited. Best Buy in the US is having its Black Friday sale now for $199. It’s in white/rose gold & will in a few days. Thanks again! 🌷
Hello, thanks for sharing! And I glad to hear your found my videos helpful and that you go the Venu 2S at a great deal! I hope you enjoy it :)
I think about buyingbit we have sale in Switzerland for 87.50 .-
Hi Abby. I just found your channel. I was curious if you ever owned a Samsung watch and if you like the Garmin better? I'm thinking of switching, because the battery life is so poor on the Samsung watches.
Hi Emily! Yes I have, and I've reviewed some Samsung Galaxy watches and did some comparisons to Garmin watches also which you can find on my channel under my AbbyBReviewing Tech Tuesday playlist here: czcams.com/play/PLj1R-thNvAXcPnHjo5nNGoHKyLZOSQC8C.html
Ps. As of right now yes I like Garmin better. I also find Samsung's current watch battery life too short and that's not an issue I have to face with my Garmin watches.
after a year my venu 2s battery sadly only held charge for 2 days.. luckily garmin support is great and they are sending my a replacement
Great summry, thanks! It helped me decide to make the jump and buy one. I just switched to the Venu 2 from the Vivoactive 3, and there is one feature I miss. In addition to setting which wrist I wear the watch, the Vivoactive also had an "orientation" setting to switch on which side the button is. This allowed me to wear the watch on my right wrist with the button on the left, so it's a real mirror of wearing it on the left wrist. For some reason, this is not available on the Venu 2. I don't understand why this is not available. It could be supported with remapping the button functions. I miss it, because no I have to "reach over" with my left hand to press the buttons.
Yes that feature is definitely helpful it's a shame it's not sure on the Venu. Thanks for sharing.
I'm amazed. How do you keep the white band and bezel clean?
It stays white really easily in my experience! I just wear it in the shower and occasionally (like 1-2 times a month) rinse with water, and wipe with rubbing alchol, to keep it clean :)
Considering this vs 265s for daughter. I watched your review comparing the two. I can get 20% off 265s which makes it only $60 more than 2s. Which would you choose? Thanks
Hello A I, as you've watched my Forerunner 265s vs Venu 2S comparison video, I did mention in it which watch I think is best for each type of user as well as which one prefer. I Also have full reviews on both watched if you want more information about them.
I made the switch from my fitbit charge 2 to garmin venu 2S yesterday, and I am so happy I did! I love every feature of the garmin, and the app is so easy to use.
I did notice the sleep reader said I was awake only 2 times last night, which seemed odd for me, but it also showed that I had been restless multiple times during the night (these restless times were not counted in the awake times). Fitbit used to count awake and restless times as the same, so once I compared the garmin sleep graphs against the fitbit ones, it all seemed pretty similar.
Nice to hear you're enjoying your new Venu 2S! And thanks for sharing 😊
@@AbbyBReviewing thank you for doing these reviews! They are very informative 🙂
I have had the Venu 2s for almost 2 months now & really like it. One thing puzzles me & it is the stress data. Do you find the stress #’s to be accurate & reliable? I ask because mine always seems to be poor & don’t know why. No worries are keeping me up at night for example (knock on wood!) Just curious if it is me and I have stresses I don’t realize that I have! Thanks.
Hello, I find the stress tracking pretty good for me like 80% of the time, I'll see an alert that notifys me of high stress when I'm actually feeling stressed, but sometimes it can come up at other times ex. if i have a headache, if I'm sick, or just randomly when i don't think im feeling stressed. and an optional prompt for relaxation breathing. I know this metric takes your heart rate, breath rate, and more into account so that may have something to do with yours being poor. But the stress tracking isn't meant to be used for accurate medical purposes, just a metric that may be helpful.
@@AbbyBReviewing Thank you. I really appreciate your taking the time to write this. This is all really helpful.
Hi I am planning on getting the samsung galaxy watch 6 bt but I'm concerned with the sensors not being accurate. So another option is getting the garmin venu s2. Which would you recommend? I mainly want to track my sleep quality.
Hello, if you're looking for very accurate sleep tracking, i would recommend getting a Fitbit that is thier best selling feature (I've reviewed a bunch of the channel). If you want accurate everything else, like heart rate data, activity tracking, stress monitoring, breath rate, steps etc I'd go with Garmin and the Venu 2S is a great option from them. When it comes to Samsung, the areas i find it excells are the swim tracking, better watch face options, and more watch apps available comparatively.
I’m driving myself crazy picking a garmin watch😅
I’ve narrowed down to the venu s black (it’s 90 pound cheaper) and vibe active 5
Is it just the colour that is different? It’s a huge price difference for colour.
I think i am swaying more the venu s because of the barometer xx
Hey, no there's a large amount of differences, and I have actually already done a video comparing the two watches here: czcams.com/video/Pu82h5n-Pu0/video.html
Does the Venu 2s have an option to display a second hand on the clock? I'm in healthcare and need a clock with a secondhand display for taking vitals !
Hi, yes but it depends on which watch face you choose to use. As some have seconds digital, some have a second watch hand for analog watch faces, while some have neither.
@@AbbyBReviewing oh okay! Thanks much for the reply! As long as I can get SOME kind of second indicator that’ll work!
I appreciate it. Wanted to be sure before I buy :)
What exact colour is the watch in this video? Is it light gold stainless bezel with light sand strap? Or is the white with a. Rose gold besel please?
Hello, this is the white/ rose gold colour Venu 2S.
Thanks! I wear gold jewellery so am gutted there isn’t a gold and white combo!
Hi guys, bought this for my wife. Can you answer calls and speak on the watch (same as the iWatch)? If so how do you set it up? Thanks
Hello, you cannot speak on this watch as there us no built in speaker or mix.
Does this measure Vo2 max too?
Hi! yes it does.
Can it track tennis?
Yes!
Can I connect it with samsung?and how to do it?
Yes It can be connected to a Samsung phone, download the Garmin Connect App, create a profile if you havent already and click add a device and follow all instructions.
@@AbbyBReviewing Thank you very much :)
Is it still worth it in 2024? I’m between that and the Vivo active 5 😵💫xx
Yes!
I wish the watch could have a speaker for all the music to be out-loud
If you want that, I'd recommend the Venu 3S!
I dont see the discount....
Not in this video it is here: czcams.com/video/KUwrcW01oAc/video.html
For the love of pronunciation twenty has a hard T before the Y. It's not 'tweny'. it's twenty, with a T, pronounced it.
😂.. how people pronounce words highly depends on where you're from.
