Apple is crap! Have to download too many apps for best of that watch, garmin is better and cheaper

@dale Webb starting price of $450!? You can literally get a Apple Watch series 7 for 50 dollars cheaper lol

@dale Webb my Garmin is $1k and doesn’t do half of what my Apple Watch does. You’re essentially paying for the name

I have the watch 4 and I’m mostly liking returning it and grabbing the venu 2 plus!

Ty Lexy, Do you know if there are any new fitness functions? PacePro on the Garmin forerunner 55 is compelling for running only and the Apple Watch for everything else. I am waiting for the Fenix 7 line to release before getting a running only watch. The article tied in nicely with the video, I’d really like the Apple Watch to play tunes without Bluetooth headphones like that as well and fully get that.
Tiago Thinks
January 5, 2022 at 10:05 pm
No pacepro bro. ????
James Ryan
January 6, 2022 at 12:37 am
@Tiago Thinks hmmm, it’s a pretty important function. They must be diversifying the watches, looks like it’s worth waiting a little longer
Tiago Thinks
January 6, 2022 at 12:43 am
@James Ryan basically all the fitness functions on the venu 2 can be found on the plus. I hear the Fenix 7 will be announced before March. I personally think the Venu 2 Plus has everything I need. I just ordered mine today. I also have been testing out Samsungs watch 4 and I’m really liking it.

I have the Garmin Vivoactive 4. The pulse oxygen meter doesn’t work 99% of the time and when it does, it’s way off. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t.

Did you really say “music storage”? Wow :-
Tiago Thinks
January 5, 2022 at 10:07 pm
Yeah, that’s an awesome feature. You can have up to 650 songs on the device and go for a run without your phone. It’s awesome!
Rory Leighton
January 5, 2022 at 10:10 pm
So you have to have a phone near by to take calls or reply to messages and you can’t use the assistant to control the watch?? Doesn’t sound very well thought through tbh, the regular Venu 2 sounds way more sensible.

This looks better than any Apple Watch
