  • Crisp OLED screen with an always-on display, Garmin Pay support is convenient, Music storage is standard, 5-day battery life, Unique breathwork exercises, Accurate fitness and health tracking, Useful and accurate sleep tracking
  • Touchscreen can be finicky, High price
  • The Garmin Venu can't compete with more established smartwatches like the Apple Watch Series 5 or Fossil Gen 5, but it has a leg up in fitness tracking. In fact, it's one of the best (if not THE best) multisport watches you can buy right now. If you've be...

  • Great guided workout options, AMOLED screen and overall watch design is really nice, Fitness tracking is impressive
  • It's as expensive as the Apple Watch Series 5, The touch screen is a bit annoying
  • To be honest, this is a really great smartwatch to consider getting, had it not been for the price tag. While I understand it has some great features, it's a little hard to push the watch when it comes with a similar price for the Apple Watch Series 5 whi...

  • Abstract:  The Venu is the first Garmin watch to feature with an AMOLED display, which is similar in appearance to the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy watch. Think of dark blacks, vibrant colors, and high resolution for crisp text. It's something you would only see in...
