I'm looking into purchasing a smart watch. Leaning towards Garmin Venu 2 Plus. Saw this and it wasn't the cheapest at Myer but the 20% shopback makes it enticing a bit. I'm still contemplating whether I should buy or not. Might as well post and hear out ozbargain opinion!
PS: Some feedback from those who have it is also welcome! Thanks
I bike, run, and play tennis. So yes, I would prefer a fitness one and a smart watch as well.
What can you suggest for other smart watch?
If you need a fitness watch, why get Garmin's smart watch (Venu)? I'd get a Forrunner for bike and run. But if you need just a smartwatch I'd get a Huawei or a Samsung. But I am not the best person to ask about smartwatch - I get sports watch all the time.
ok, thanks. let me look at the forerunner option as well.
I had a Garmin Venu and hated it, went back to my old Fitbit Versa which was so much simpler to use
I would be interested to know the user experience difference between this and the phenix 6 series.
Have been contemplating to switch to smart watch for the extra functions.
How is your Fenix experience?
Sorry I wasn't being clear. I have a traditional watch now and wanna to swap to a smart watch
geez if the cashback gets rejected…
I got a Garmin 265 for $620. OLED screen. Newer GPS and sensor stack. Didn't post as it was low volume. Just checked and still available at Wildearth on eBay, add the $50 voucher. Really impressed with the watch!
If you are unsure, I guess the questions that you need to ask are: do I need a fitness, or a smartwatch. If you need a smartwatch, why Garmin (they are mostly sports watch manufacturer)? There are plenty of others. And further: do you need a simple smartwatch or a more advanced one? Which functions are critical?
