Garmin smartwatches are one of the most preferred by users for whom fitness tracking is a priority. To please its loyalists, Garmin has showcased its latest watches at the ongoing CES 2022. While the Vivomove Sport is a budget smartwatch devoid of a colour screen, the Venu 2 Plus comes with all the bells and whistles and falls in the higher end of the price category.
Garmin VP Dan Batel says,
“Garmin has quite literally answered the call for adding on-device voice capabilities to the latest Venu smartwatch. For the active lifestyle customer, multi-tasking is crucial, and now Garmin customers have the ability to answer a call or send a text without digging through their pocket or bag”.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus Features, Specifications
The Venu 2 Plus will join the previously launched Venu 2 and Venu 2s in the series and brings some additional features. It will come with the ability to attend calls and a voice control feature for added convenience.
The Garmin Venu 2 comes in a single 43mm dial size and sports a 1.3-inch OLED display with 416×416 pixels resolution. It comes with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3 protection to protect it from scratches and falls. The smartwatch gets 20mm silicone straps that are user-replaceable.
The major highlight of the Venu 2 Plus is the calling functionality owing to an inbuilt speaker and a microphone. It offers 24-hour health tracking features like heart rate monitoring, sleep analysis, blood oxygen levels, stress, women’s health etc. to keep a tab on your vitals and daily routine. The Venu 2 Plus also comes with automatic incident detection, which alerts your emergency contacts with your location.
Another highlight of the smartwatch is the inclusion of enhanced voice support. The Venu 2 Plus is compatible with Google Assistant on Android phones and Siri on iOS. The watch can store music from Spotify and other music apps.
Garmin claims that the Venu 2 Plus works for 9 days in smartwatch mode, and up to 8 days in GPS + music mode before it runs out of juice. The smartwatch also has a fast-charging feature, which can add about a day of smartwatch mode use in just 10 minutes of charging.
Garmin Venu 2 Plus Price, Availability
The Garmin Venu 2 Plus is available for purchase in the U.S. now. It comes at a rather steep price of $449 (approx. ₹33,400). It comes in Silver Stainless Steel Bezel with Powder Gray Case, Slate Stainless-Steel Bezel with Black Case, and Cream Gold Stainless Steel Bezel with Ivory Case variants.
