With the Garmin Venu 2, you’ll feel fully in control of your health and well-being. This smart fitness watch gives users detailed insight into their energy levels, sleep quality, fitness age, stress, and overall health snapshot. You can use it to track workouts from HIIT to golf and take advantage of Garmin Coach to help you train for an upcoming running event. This watch functions kind of like an Apple Watch, since it also notifies you of texts/calls, boasts safety features like incident detection, and, with Garmin Pay, allows you to tap it to contactless payment devices in lieu of a physical card. Depending on how you use your watch, the Garmin has a battery life of up to 11 days on a full charge, and you can wear your personality on your wrist (literally) with its customizable watch faces.
