Connected watches are becoming more and more popular, especially among athletes who need to monitor their performance. Most of the time we hear about Smartwatches from Samsung and Apple, but Garmin, a company specialized in GPS, has also been able to use all its knowledge to develop its own watches. One of them, the Garmin Venu 2, is available for 256.62 euros instead of 399 euros.
This is a terrifying observation reported on February 20 by Inserm researchers: almost one in two French people is overweight and the adult obesity rate has doubled in 30 years. The remedy does not change. Regular physical activity is one of the best ways to prevent weight gain, but often you don’t have the time or the will to do it. A connected watch dedicated to sports can be a good way to motivate yourself and be accompanied. Also, that’s good since the Garmin Venu 2 currently benefits from a reduction of almost 150 euros from its original price.
The strengths of the Garmin Venu 2
- Efficient health metrics and GPS tracking
- Autonomy of about ten days
- A sober design
Launched at 399 euros, then displayed at the strikeout price of currently 329 euros, the Garmin Venu 2 is now available for sale at 256.62 euros on Rue du Commerce.

A sober sports watch
At first glance, the Garmin Venu 2 looks like a classic leather watch, a sober design totally assumed by the manufacturer since what matters is what’s inside. With its diameter of 135 to 200 mm, it is intended for large wrists. People with slimmer wrists should go for the Garmin Venu 2S. So we have here a rather imposing model with a 45mm diameter screen, but still light to carry.
The screen is a 1.3-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 416 x 416 pixels. At 320 pixels per inch, the screen is easy on the eyes, it’s sharp, bright, and the contrast is excellent. The brightness can even automatically adjust to three levels based on your environment, and you can manually adjust it to ten levels. With its Gorilla Glass 3 protection and 5 ATM water resistance, it can easily follow you on your extreme hikes up to 50 meters deep.
A coach that follows you everywhere and for a long time
Whether in the Garmin Venu 2 or in the other connected watches of this brand, GPS tracking is particularly effective, it must be said that it is the specialty of the American company. In addition to the classic step counter, heart rate monitor, and oximeter, Garmin Venu 2 can accurately calculate the distance traveled during a workout, as well as your pace, tracking your route and the number of calories burned. Being particularly effective, GPS consumes a lot of power. Autonomy has also been calculated at ten days in average use.
If this connected watch is not at the level of the Samsung or Apple models, it is because it has some shortcomings. The impossibility of making calls and the absence of speakers for example. Installing third-party applications is possible with the Garmin home store, but navigating the interface is complicated… It is better to focus on exclusively sports use where the watch offers advanced functions, such as the estimation of physical age or the “Body Battery” , a kind of virtual trainer that will give you advice during your rest and recovery sessions.
