Hope you liked this video guys. Stay tuned for a related video coming soon! And if you have any questions, let me know. 🙂 Update: now if you live in the US your Venu 2 Plus will also have the ECG app!

There's a lot of case surrounds out there for sale now that make these watches look tougher

@FunminuteToys Год назад

Really found this helpful. I can't believe it won't auto track HRV in the middle of sleep. That's one of the big things Whoop brought to the market after extensive studies. Did you test broadcasting heart rate to any fitness machines (rower, mirror, treadmill, fitness apps, etc)?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

I've used the broadcasting feature a lot with treadmills at least and it works flawlessly.

The Asus Smart watch 2 I bought in 2015 had a mic & a speaker. I was able to make calls & speak through it & even write to reply to text. I was also able to watch YT vids on it too & control my phone's camera. It was only $150 & it had just come out.

Love your reviews. Just stumbled upon your channel and you are so in depth! I had a Venu 2 Plus for a short bit and I really loved it but I found it was super buggy. Have you had a similar issue?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Glad you like them! Yes, it used to be more buggy when it was released, at least for a while. Watch crashing, etc. But it seems more stable these days. Now their new Forerunner watches have some bugs too, which is a typical thing for some time after the initial release.

@menifo4334 Год назад

I must say that you have gone into important details that no other reviewer has. Very professional and diligent. My heart has been set on this watch since a year ago, but I chose to go for the Amazfit GTR 3 PRO instead. It's an almost perfect watch with all the metrics I would ever need apart from a crappy inconsistent HR algorithm. And when the HR readings are inconsistent and inaccurate all the ensuing metrics are out of place and useless. My question for this watch is, does it have an overall metric of how well you're doing? A metric that would provide an alert that you're either overtraining or undertraining for example? As far as I know it doesn't give even the workout load of each individual activity. Is there a metric which keeps track of your overall performance/progress, something similar to Amazfit's PAI??

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Thanks so much for the kind words! That's what this watch is lacking. A training status. The closest to that is intensity minutes which as far as I know all other Garmin watches have and you can customise your intensity goal per week and see how much each workout has pushed you towards your intensity minutes goal. That's why, if you work out a lot or even just consistently, but seriously I recommend looking into other watches than V2P.

Anymore battery tips to prolong the battery life in the long run? Like do we follow that 20-80 rule where we keep the watch charged above 20% and stop at 80?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Definitely that does help. Make sure you get the latest firmware (14.10 I think), because they made some changes to increase battery lifespan. And me personally, after using it for more than 1.5 years of charging roughly between 20-25% to 90-100%, I see no difference in battery life.

hi everyone, can i download a Golf app/map for this watch and use it "Live" on the course to see where i am etc ??

@StarSalty Год назад

I like venue 2 plus software upgrade a must is. Make the screen or button enable to press , press hold to change music track or volume. Also add more stress level , heart beat reading gauges Into more of the watch face, venue 3 plus . Make the screen more back , forward press hold to the settings and do so without the buttons or with button set.

@user-ng1rn5ib8l Год назад

What about sleep tracking, in the beginning when the watch came out people were complaining of it not being accurate when going to bed or waking up?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

This has been improved with firmware updates, but of course it's not 100% accurate, ever!

@NazSBG Месяц назад

I've had the Venu 2 for about 3 weeks now. Inaccurate step count (it counts steps when I'm driving or taking a shower), inaccurate calorie count (it counts calories when I'm not wearing the watch. GPS takes a while to find. More than a minute on many occasions. GPS seems accurate though when I'm running. It's an okay watch but very much comes with gimmicks.

@ivanruiz1028 Год назад

Hello, I need your opinion please. I recently bought the venu 2 plus and I'm starting with software version 12.13. the battery is maximum 2 days. I don't use GPS for sports and oxygen only when sleeping. Little use of notifications. what happen? the restored. Disconnected from the app. started again from bluetooth settings, do you know if this is normal?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Hey there! I have a video about this and I discovered that some kind of connectivity issue is probably the main cause of this battery drain. But it sounds like you've already reconnected and it hasn't helped. As far as I know what I've said in that video has help people resolve this issue, but it could also be a new bug with 12.13. For example, now for some reason, intentional or not, the Physio TrueUp is gone after this update. But still take a look at that video and see if it helps. Just make sure you pair the watch by using the Garmin Connect and not manually via Bluetooth (a mistake a lot of people make).

@alexandreblanquaert5256 Год назад

Hello , can i pair this watch to my mate 20 pro huawei without issues please ?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

Most likely, you'll be able to connect it to the watch, but you can't use the voice calling feature, if it's running Android 10. So not the most compatible phone.

Is it suitable for gym tracking ? Is it worth to upgrade from venu sq music to venu 2 plus or should I upgrade to forerunner 265?

@RyansTechMedia Год назад

I'd recommend upgrading to 265 because of the training load status otherwise yes, the Venu 2 Plus is capable of tracking your workouts at the gym. I have a video on Forerunner 265 that you can watch.

Can sormone help me understand the appeal of keeping their watch on in the shower? I've just meber understood because I don't need notifications while showering, I have to take it off anyway to dry underneath it afterwards, and it's a easy time to get a nice little charge.

@h2o466 Год назад

When I work out at the gym I always take a shower while wearing it. A gym is one of the filthiest places and since I thouch it a lot, taking a shower with it cleans the watch too. And if I'm in a hurry, I don't dry it afterwards (but I probably should). There you have it. That's the appeal.

It has Gorilla Glass 3 so it's alright, but since the screen protectors are pretty inexpensive you can try and see how it affects the touch sensitivity. I personally haven't tried a screen protector and there are no scratches on it after more than a year.
