    I usually have trouble with reviewers either just restating what I could find on the manufacture's website, or using too many technical terms and being boring. That is not the case at all here. I feel that your reviews give a lot of information in a short amount of time. Very nice.

  • @jkadbhjadhboa
    @jkadbhjadhboa 3 роки тому +14

    Great video! I loved that you showed both sizes on your wrist (at different times) during the video so that I can get a feel for which one I’d want based on my wrist size. Incidentally, it’s normal for there to be up to a 3% variation in oxygen saturation readings on any two properly functioning pulse ox devices. So, although it’s kind of impressive that the watch was within 1% of the medical pulse ox device you had, its also technically sort of meaningless. Keep up the great work!

    Honestly this thing looks pretty interesting. There's a lot of new little bits of tech in here. That display looks super sharp in your video here. I don't know if it would have looked as good outdoors but you did a great job showing how nice it can look. The UI looks a lot cleaner (although I've never owned a Venu watch for comparison) Amazing review as always Des!

    Hi Des,
    Fantastic in-depth review!
    Although I am really curious if Garmin sleep tracking has improved in terms of accuracy.
    Are you still forced to set-up the bed and wake time?
    Does Venu 2 can track sleep outside of selected time interval?
    Thanks!

    From the UK I thank you! 😊
    I have just purchased the Google Pixel 6 Pro phone, and the Samsung Galaxy 4 watch, the phone is great. However, the Galaxy watch 4 doesn't work on most features with my new phone, pretty useless in fact, albeit a nice looking watch. You have helped me decide to buy the 2S, I'm not super fit like you, I'm 69, a bit knackered now health wise, but I used to go to the gym in my younger days, and walked 8 miles a day 7 days a week for many years until 20 years ago when my health forced me to stop. I'm still slim so that's good I suppose, small mercies! I want to monitor my health on the watch, I won't be using it for strenuously pushing my body beyond its capabilities, those days are over, but it would be good for general monitoring.
    I have a few questions before I buy please;
    1. Can you make phone calls from the watch?
    2. I have a Nickel allergy, is the frame/case Aluminium or Stainless Steel, and would the casing touch my skin? (On the Galaxy watch the aluminium part of the frame/case doesn't touch the skin).
    3. Are there nice digital clock faces? (On the galaxy watch it's only showing a 24 hour clock even when on PM 12 hour clock, so in the afternoon evening, it displays for example 3:15pm as 03:15 so annoying!
    I'd appreciate a reply if you could find the time, great video, thank you. 🙂

    Thank you for such a detailed review. I just ordered the Garmin 245 which has emphasis on running. I chose it over the Garmin 55 because of support for strength training in 245. Now I see the Venu 2 has those nice animations for the strength exercises, and showing the muscle groups. Those are nice but when I think of it, not really necessary, as I have books showing me how to do those exercises. Apart from the nice graphics, are the strength training features in the Venu 2 more advanced than those in the 245? What does the 245 miss out here?

    • @DesFit
      @DesFit  3 роки тому

      I asked but nothing definitive to say at the moment. However, I don’t think the older hardware can support some of these features though since the Venu has a new processor and GPU. Thanks!

    • @DM-rm7ph
      @DM-rm7ph 3 роки тому

      Well at first thanks for the quick response. I’m fine with the new display features being reserved for the new more powerful hardware. I would be more interested in the new hiit profile and the sleep tracking because I’m doing a lot of these kind of workouts. But we’ll see what the future brings 😅

    • @DesFit
      @DesFit  3 роки тому

      Asked about HIIT specifically - again no official word but I would have to imagine it will make it into other watches, especially considering the indoor rock climbing and bouldering profiles which were introduced with the Fenix 6 Pro Solar made it to the Venu 2. Sleep tracking widget I am less confident about.

      @DesFit  3 роки тому

      I think there’s a comment somewhere either in this video or the unboxing video where the person said that they disliked the video not because of the video itself but he didn’t like the watch. Another viewer replied, “that’s not how dislikes work” which I appreciated. So maybe there is a disconnect with some folks about the purpose of the dislike button. 🤷‍♂️

    Couple if questions, in regards to the venu2

    2. Is the touch screen still responsive with a sweaty finger while training

    Des, another very well put together, thoughtful and thorough review. Well done.
    I've got a 3HR, but the GPS has failed, so I'm looking to replace. Would you recommend this as someone who does moderate strength workouts, some running, and a lot of road cycling, or should I just get the 6X Sapphire I have in my cart already? I love the durability, buttons, and battery life on my Fenix, that's why I'm not sure what to do. Thoughts?
