Venu 2 Plus reviews your stress, heart rate, sleep and activity level to gauge your body’s energy levels.
You most likely experience stress at some point in your day, but how much and when? Keep an eye on it with your Venu 2 Plus smartwatch.
Venu 2 Plus samples your heart rate multiple times per second and lets you know if it stays too high or too low when you’re resting.
Get a score for the quality of your sleep and tips on how you can do better.
Log a 2-minute session to record key stats, including heart rate2, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox3, respiration and stress. Then generate a report with those stats to share via the Garmin Connect™ app on your compatible smartphone.
See your body’s energy levels throughout the day so you can find the best times for activity and rest.
Use the Pulse Ox3 sensor to spot-check your blood oxygen saturation at any point during the day, or while you sleep, to show how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
Find out if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day. Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity when this fitness watch detects that you’re feeling stressed.
Use the Garmin Connect app to track your menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Log symptoms, get exercise and nutrition education, and more. Even see and log details on your wrist with the Women’s Health Tracking app.
Log your daily fluid intake as a reminder to stay hydrated. You can even have an auto goal for hydration that adjusts based on how much you sweat during activities.
See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep, during breathwork and yoga activities or during a Health Snapshot session.
Get a score for your sleep’s quality and insights on how you can do better. Even keep track of the different sleep stages as well as heart rate, stress, Pulse Ox3 and respiration.
This fitness watch constantly samples your heart rate2 and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities — even while swimming.
When you want to relax or focus, you can start a breathwork activity, and this watch will track your stress and respiration to help you get a better understanding of how you’re breathing.
This feature uses chronological age, your weekly vigorous activity, resting heart rate and BMI or body fat percentage4 to estimate if your body is younger or older than you are. And you can get tips to lower your fitness age.

This detailed activity profile puts scaling and strength PRs right at your wrist plus graphics that show what muscle groups you worked.
Use this new activity profile with different timers to track your HIIT workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.

Get a personal running coach on your wrist, for free, to help you train for your next 5K, 10K or half-marathon.
We’ve updated our intensity minutes feature to give you a better idea of when during the day you earned them and during what activity. You can even view them as a data field during timed activities.
