With a stainless steel bezel, round face, and silicone band, the Garmin Venu 2 GPS Smartwatch is a stylish option for managing your daily activities. Throughout the day, the Venu 2 can deliver smart notifications from your phone and stream music to optional Bluetooth headphones, and you can even use it to tap and pay at registers that support Garmin Pay. When it's time to work out, the Venu 2 is made to shine with a host of fitness, health, and wellness features.
The Venu 2 can track and save data for 25 preloaded sports apps. There are also animated on-screen workouts that you can follow when you want a change of pace. If you prefer the pool, the Venu 2 can function at depths up to 164'. Integrated heart rate and Pulse Ox sensors work together for regular health monitoring and help to provide a Health Snapshot that you can track over time.
Even during the night, the Venu 2 will track sleep quality and stages, giving you an overall score. All of this and more is viewed and controlled via a brilliant, contrast-rich 1.3" AMOLED screen that's protected by tough Corning Gorilla Glass 3. For a natural watch feel, you can turn on always-on mode for the ability to glance at the time, notifications, or exercise stats.
