The Garmin Venu 2 series adds a slate of features, some of which have been seen on other Garmin watches over the last year or two (like widget glances), but some of which are entirely new.

If you found this review useful, you can use the links at the bottom, or consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. After which IвЂ™ll likely go out and buy my own for future use. Once this review is done, IвЂ™ll get it boxed back up and sent back to them. Note that for this review IвЂ™m using a media loaner from Garmin. IвЂ™ll also sprinkle some of her thoughts throughout the review from her usage as well. So IвЂ™ve got a pretty good feel on how well the Venu 2 works, and where its quirks are.

While my wife uses the Venu 2S on her workouts and 24Г—7. IвЂ™ve been using the Venu 2 for a number of weeks now 24Г—7, as well as on all my recent workouts. A new generation optical heart rate sensor also brings with it infrared sensors for increased PulseOx accuracy. A new integrated processor and GPU increase graphic power, making it the first watch to support GarminвЂ™s Connect IQ 4.0 app platform вЂ“ as well as a significantly revamped user interface that feels a bit more modern and polished.

Under the covers though are arguably some of the biggest changes. The Venu 2 series sports two sizes now (45mm and 40mm), as well as a slew of updated health and sports features. Today Garmin announced the new Venu 2 & Venu 2S watches, the AMOLED display successors to the original Garmin Venu watch.
