My husband bought the Venu for me because he loves his Garmin. I thought I was happy with my iwatch, but the Venu is so much better: long battery life, easier to use, love the sleep coach and tracking. It is changing my behavior for the better!

For the health conscious

I was given this as a gift. I love seeing my sleep score and body battery scores. It graphs the sleep cycles for you and it charges in a few minutes.

Mixed feelings

Let me get the bad out of the way first. I simply don’t want to have to manage multiple apps. I don’t want to be told I have to even install one on my computer to actually update certain features or download or purchase some items. Improve the user experience please.
Aside from that? The good: basically everything else. You’re getting a lot of bang for your buck. Everything functions intuitively and well.

Pretty Good

I've had this watch for over a year and it's truly an upgrade from my vivoactive. I enjoy being able to respond to calls and text messages on my watch. The connectivity between the phone and watch for calls could however be improved, it would also be great to be able to add a cellular service in the future. Battery life is great, possibly my favourite feature, Im very active (5 days a week 40 mins) and the battery lasts for at least 7days. One thing I miss from older models is being able to skip music on Spotify, I'd like to see some changes that enable that again even if through the notification bar.

Wish it had cellular GPS!

I enjoy it, but I for the price I wish it had cellular GPS. I hate the short distance it stays connected to phone, when my Apple Watch states connected miles away.

Better than expected!

I have only had this for a couple weeks so I am still getting used to the functions. Slightly disappointed that the vibration for the alarm is not as strong as my last competitor’s tracker. I did have to order a longer band in order to fit without a mark. It is harder to count steps than my last tracker but mowing grass does not count steps pushing my mower. I will need to head to the forums to figure out how to get credit for that. Otherwise the watch is great and has so many different levels to track and review. Overall I am satisfied with it and hope there can be updates to the issues I have via a software update.
