Great vid Chigz, love the content! A small note, you CAN actually reply to text/ sms messages with a quick "reply" feature when you want to decline an incoming call or reply to a text. In essence you send a pre-written text message, like "in a meeting" or "call you later. All of these can be edited on the phone app. This is official from garmin. There was some talk that you could be able to use google assistant or Bixby ( or Alexa ) to even dictate a reply to a text, though not really sure about this one. All of this ONLY applies to Android phones. You might want to edit that part of the vid ;)

It is not possible to make text response when connected to an iphone. This is because of iphone. But it is possible for any android device. Garmin is far from becoming a smartwatch. But it is slowly introducing smartwatch features. Also garmin is a sport and fitness watch first that is why it has limited swipe gestures to avoid accidental stop of an activity. That is also the reason why other more expensive garmin watches just recently adopted the use of touch screen. For fitness you can use garmin's own activity profiles which many believe is the best in the industry. It will also show in the garmin connect app. It is not like other smartwatches that provides 100's activity profile but just measure heart rate and duration. Garmin does activity profiles in a different level. Ex. Strength activity counts reps, sets, and automatically determines the type of exercise and muscle group involve.

It is very nice to see Garmin have finally (like Fitbit now too) are making their smart watches actually more "smart" rather than just being a glorified fitnesses band. Being able to take calls and access your voice assistant is very handy. I think there are few things that left to be desired on both Fitbit and Garmin such as Google Pay as the UK market for Fitbit Pay and Garmin Pay sucks. Still some things missing on the Garmin side like replying to texts with your voice but I suppose at the end of the day it is still supposed to be a fitness tracker foremost but having amazing battery life and health tracking with some smart features is great but it still seems there is no smart watch out there than can do say 5 day battery life at least with full health tracking and full smart features. Great video like usual Chigz.

I've had so many issues with this watch (Venu 2 plus) with the screen freezing when trying to pick up the GPS signal for exercising. So I'm not a fan. I've reverted back to the previous Venu 2. Much better with non of the above screen freezing issues. Also I prefer the slightly wider band. And as for the sake of using the Venu 2 plus for calls as you are normally carrying your phone that feature becomes superfluous.

@@Thomas-fk3cw the normal Venu 2 is not that much bigger looking on my wrist. It's just more reliable than the Venu 2 plus and I definitely prefer the 22mm band more than the 20mm. Yes I know it's only 2mm but like a backpack the slightly wider strap definitely seems more comfortable. And I'll keep saying the constant screen freezing issues on the Venu 2 plus were so frustrating that it wasn't worth wearing and the ability to take calls became superfluous.

So on the Plus "hydration" is phone dependent, but on the Venu 2 it's not, and this can't be modified in the settings? I'm considering the Plus, however I want to be able to turn off the phone dependency at certain times, so it's like an normal Venu 2. Can you do a workout using internally saved music and not have my phone with me using bluetooth headphones. Possible?

Great review thanks, just waiting for mine to be delivered. Upgrading from a T Rex pro, which I noticed was in your top 10; had issues with HR monitor, Amazon refunded my money and let me keep the T Rex even after 7 months 😮. Have watched many reviews prior to purchase, mainly American, German, Canadian and they don't have issues with sleep tracking or Garmin pay, hope this has been resolved in the 2x years or so. One issue they do point out with HR accuracy, although agreeing it is usually really good, in real time workouts it can vary slightly due to stopping starting, vibration on bicycles etc, when compared with a medical grade tracker. But great review, liked, saved and followed 💪.

Good afternoon. I recently bought a Garmin Venu 2 Plus model. I love it and they have everything I need. There is one problem, can you tell me what the essence is. It's about paying with Garmin Pay. I watched earlier reviews in which bloggers claimed that after the watch is put on the hand and the code is entered before payment, then in subsequent times if the watch was not removed, the code does not need to be entered. After entering the code, I still have the opportunity to pay without entering the code for 10 minutes, and then the watch asks for the code again. I deleted and relinked the card but it did not help. I tightened the belt tightly so that the watch always touched the hand, but it did not help. Is it a marriage or raw firmware? It seems that the sensor periodically does not see the watch on the hand? What do you think about this? I really hope you can give me some advice. Reply

Also, there's Strava integration in the Garmin app. However, I haven't tested this on my Garmin fenix 6S Pro, so I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for.
