Do you think that the Epix 2 is too expensive and/or too bulky? Then perhaps the Garmin Venu 2 Plus would be the right fit for you. The sports watch could almost completely convince us with 4.5 out of 5 stars in the review and only offers a slightly reduced feature set compared to the Epix 2. While the fitness smartwatch can hardly be beaten in terms of sports functions, it has a slight weakness in terms of smartwatch functions. Although the latest model can now also make calls thanks to the microphone and speaker and supports voice assistants, the Venu 2 Plus is simply not on the same level as the competitors from Samsung or Apple.
A great strength of the Venu 2 Plus is the Garmin app, which comes with numerous training plans and detailed analysis options - and of course the smartwatch tracks just about everything you could wish for. The only exception: there is no ECG function. Garmin embeds all of this in a comprehensive ecosystem tailored for athletes. If you want to be very precise, you can also buy additional accessories such as chest straps, speed and cadence sensors, and temperature sensors to link them to the Garmin Venu 2 Plus.
