![]() ![]() Garmin offers trade-in schemes for some lines and complies with WEEE and other local electronics recycling laws. Garmin guarantees at least two years of security updates from release, but typically supports its devices far longer. The watch does not contain any recycled materials. The screen is covered in Corning’s scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3, similar to a smartphone and the strap is replaceable. The battery will maintain at least 90% of its original capacity after two years of use charging about once a week and can be replaced by service. Note that the 40mm Venu 2S has a slightly smaller battery. Turn off some less useful features and it should last more than three days.Ī 28 minute run with GPS, music and the screen on all the time consumed 5% of the battery, which means it should easily last a marathon. Turning on every feature, including all-day blood oxygen monitoring and the always-on screen, tracking sleep and going for a 30-minute run with music reduces the battery life to a still respectable 58-plus hours, which means charging it every third day. The Venu 2 will last up to 11 days used as a smartwatch with notifications from your phone but with the screen not on all the time. Actual batteryĬharging the watch with the USB cable that snaps into the port on the back took just over an hour and 20 minutes. It’s a really simple and effective way of looking at your day: sleep and rest recharges you, activity and stress depletes you. One of the best features is Garmin’s “ body battery”, which works out how much energy you’ll likely have at any moment with a score out of 100. Some is viewable on the watch, the rest is displayed in the Connect app on your phone with easy-to-digest overviews and granular detail for those that want to really dig into it. The one thing missing compared to its high-end competitors is an ECG sensor for measuring your heart beat rhythm.Īs with other Garmin devices the watch collects a mountain of data. The watch can also take a “health snapshot”, which is a two-minute test of your heart, respiration and stress, and has menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracking. It provides constant heart rate monitoring including abnormal rate alerts, blood oxygen, stress and respiration rate tracking, among other things. On the health front, the watch tracks almost everything you could want day and night, including calories burned, steps, and stair climbs, with movement reminders when you’ve been sedentary and sleep tracking at night. ![]() Health monitoringĭuring the night the watch automatically tracks sleep, producing a score out of 100 plus a full breakdown of duration, stages, restlessness, blood oxygen, resting heart rate and respiration. The Venu 2 supports offline music playback with Bluetooth headphones, but lacks outdoor race track and triathlon modes as well as mapping data that are a feature of the high-end Forerunner 945 or Fenix 6 Pro. If you want a smartwatch that is also a serious sport-tracking watch this is it. The Garmin will estimate your VO2 Max, which is a common measure of cardiovascular fitness, and your “fitness age” complete with recommendations on how to reduce it. ![]() Running has the same excellent monitoring options and accuracy as the Forerunner 745, which makes it much more comprehensive than most smartwatch competitors. These include a large number of activities such as indoor and outdoor walking, running and cycling, swimming, climbing, various strength and gym workouts with on-screen guides, golf, skiing and many others, plus access to training plans with Garmin Coach. The Venu 2 has most of the excellent sport, activity and health-tracking features of Garmin’s high-end Forerunner running watches. It worked for me pretty well, hope the some for you.Post-run you get the same breadcrumb trail map and stats as offered on the Forerunner 745 and others. Go to the task manager, end process of the ant agent, and now, install garmin express and everything should be fine. Open control panel, go to the uninstall programs and uninstall everything related to garmin,(I had, garmin express, training center and garmin usb ports) restart you computer, download just the ANT AGENT software, run it and install it, let the ant agent recognize your device. I had the same problem with garmin express, I tried a lot of things, and what worked for me was the following: Has any one had this before and know how to fix it? But the ANT stick is plugged in all I did was kill the AGENT as suggest above NOW what? when I have it running it complains that it's blocking Access and when it's not running it complains that there no ANT stick Hi I got the same error and then when open the processes and kill the ANT agent I get the following error message: It looks like there isn't an ANT Stick connected make sure your ANT Stick is plugged in to your computers USB port and try again. ANT Stick NOT plugged in to your computer USB port ![]()
