  1. MaTwiecki

    Garmin Venu fulfills all the manufacturer’s promises. If someone would like to have a sports watch of the highest level with smartwatch functions – Venu is the perfect choice. It’s not as crude as the entire Fenix range. Venu It’s modest, well-made, has most of the same functions as the Fenix, and the Amoled display does its job. The Venu is a watch that is both sporty and elegant. The battery lasts a full 5 days quietly.
    It meets expectations, looks good, is rich in functions, and can be adapted to suit yourself. A lot of people praise the battery, but in my opinion 2-4 days is not enough.

    At least it loads fast. The application for the phone is ok. Its downside is that it can be a bit clunky to use, and some changes take a strange long wait before they appear on the watch, but it absolutely does not reduce the pleasure of using the watch.
