I have watched this video like 5-10 times and still watch it after buying the watch!! I want to thank you Rob for all your hard work and accuracy in testing and analyzing all the different watches. Your videos and quality are extraordinary and top notch quality!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
The only thing that i like about watch this over the apple watch is the battery life which you didn't mentioned in this review, awesome work as always buddy ✋🏼😇🙏🏼
Great job! You have mentioned exactly things I had to go over to settle with the watch. It's not perfect with sleep tracking, but GPS and pulse tracking is the best. Also, despite imperfect sleep tracking it still manages to provide decent body battery estimates
Sounds like the opposite of my Fitbit. I hope one day we'll have a watch with Garmin's GPS and HR tracking, Fitbit's sleep tracking, and Samsung's software and aesthetics...
@@bmaulanasdf actually I think this Garmin ticks most of the boxes. Of course it does not have those apps to fiddle with, but then the battery life is perfect (8-10 days in my case). In my opinion only the sleep tracking needs to be improved. And this is something that can be done with software updates. So I'm quite happy with my purchase )
@@Suleimenoff I don't know.. it has comparable results with the Mi Watch that costs 200 bucks less... yes, it's overall better, but by a very small percentage... honeslty it baffles me a lot. Not about Garmin per se, but about these trackers...
Would love to hear a scientific perspective on the stress scores and body battery! Do you cover this in other Garmin review videos? Garmin themselves seem a bit dodgy on how exactly these are calculated.
Thanks to your videos I settled on a Fitbit Inspire 2. Incredibly happy so far, insanely great battery to boot. Gotta love the price tag too. Thanks for all your effort!
Great job as always! May I ask you if you intend to do a video experimenting with different things a user can do to improve the accuracy of the measurements? I'm interested in knowing how things like tightening the fit of the band, or wearing the sensor facing the palm side of the wrist etc would affect the accuracy
un increible reloj lo tengo y tambien un fit2 que cuesta mucho menos hace mas cosas mejor pantalla,bateria 7/10 días hablar llamadas HarmonyOs es genial Yeeeeh😎
Fitbit is a scam. The data is only available with a subscription (making the watch cost double every year) and their watches don't last past a year. So you'd have to pay double every year. Garmin has no fees.
@@screamtoasigh9984 it depends on your needs. I find that the data you can get for free is more than enough. As for the longevity of the device, maybe they changed something with newer devices but my Alta HR still works pretty well. Have it since 2016.
@@kengurooable you mentioned sleep tracking - that is subscription. You are lucky your watch held out, I had a fitbit, died about 5 months in, they replaced it, it died 6 months later. Before the first one died I bought my brother one, at the time, latest model (so an upgrade from mine) his died a month later and had to wait for a replacement that took about 6 weeks. So far that's held up. What are the chances in 18 months three different, all brand new fitbits dying (all bought from Amazon, so it's not like I was getting random old stock merch from the corner store. I bought it expressly for sleep tracking (especially spo2), all the reviews said it was the best, only to find that the data that was free everywhere else was subscription only. Super scam. (Their forums are also horrible, it was photos that should have been only for adults.. In the SLEEP community. Naked in bathtubs. You couldn't block anyone either.) I really wonder why they are so loved. I'm happy you like yours, don't get me wrong, my comments are solely to warn others that if they think buying a fitbit is a one time purchase to track sleep, they're being misled. (I'm not going to say other devices such as Garmin don't have their faults, I'm not oblivious, but I'm not being scammed by a subscription either. If fitbit made this absolutely clear I would have less of an issue with them. Garmin also has free workouts and coaching. And the straps come off/attach in a way that doesn't leave build-up when you wear it in water all the time.. ) also, I guess Google owns fitbit now? 😳
@@kengurooable I just looked it up, I was going to mention what model I had all I went to look it up and it says as of March spo2 and breathing rate, is now free. I guess I wasn't the only one who thought it was a scam 😁 . The other sleep aspects - restlessness, readiness, etc are still subscription. If companies do a subscription I'm ok with that as long as it's up front. Like the oura, I don't have one but it was made very clear it's needed. My biggest issue with fitbit is they hide that you need a subscription for features they advertise. The best part imho was the challenges, they killed that... Garmin now has challenges. 😁
Please reconsider the 'privacy blur' on the map!! I thought it wouldn't be effective, so it made me curious. Sure enough, it took about 2 minutes for me to find that location. Maybe it would be enough to see them on a blank surface as we are looking for consistency. Or just don't show that, I think it would be still a thorough review. I otherwise like your videos and the data you provide. Thank you for that. Stay safe!
For sports tracking, Garmin forerunner 745 is great. Ridiculously detailed. But for sleep, my favorite is the Samsung Active watch. I gave all my fitbit's away.
I am really excited about it too! I emailed them to see if they would send mine sooner for review, but haven't heard anything. I guess I am not high enough on the RUclips ladder yet ;-) . I'll review it as soon as I have it!
Thanks for these thorough reviews! Logically, I would assume the Venu 2S has the same sleep and HR tracking performance as the 2.. But it seems like the 2 Plus is much worse than then the 2 is. Do you think the 2S is more on the 2's level or is it also worse? thanks
Please create video on ranking of fitness bands based on their accuracy. I am trying to find it through your all videos but in every video u have explained individual bands only. Please create a ranking video
Hey, it would be awesome if you included in your videos some mention of the process of obtaining the raw data from the watch/vendor. For instance, Garmin's process of getting the raw data is complete bullshit, and had I known this, I would have avoided them as a brand. I think many of the folks watching your videos care deeply about data and stats, and so access to such things is really quite critical. Thanks in advance, please keep up what you are doing!
Thanks for your great videos - they are so helpful. Given how different the results are (especially REM) when comparing to the two different headbands, do you have concerns about the accuracy of the headbands themselves? Could the difference in results from the Garmin study and your data come down to the EEG device used?
Thank you so much for testing it's SpO2 function, I live alone and was so worried that my SpO2 was always ranging from 90~95%. I thought I had daytime hypoxia or some serious case of sleep apnea.
I’m actually a bit surprised about the step test. I just got a venu 2s the other day and I find it gives many false positives for steps. I have a bunch of extra steps when I brush my teeth and do the dishes. My Fitbit never did that.
You made reference to an under mattress pad being more accurate for sleep tracking. Do you have any consumer-grade products you would recommend? I specifically noted "consumer grade" because I see some of the high tech equipment you use and don't think I'm ready to turn my bedroom into a full sleep testing center quite yet! Thanks for the reviews! They are very informative.
Can you please include stairs counting also? I noticed that garmin only uses the barometer. This means that if using an automatic stair, it will take it into account
Excellent review. Very thorough. If I may make a personal recommendation I would suggest a helmet while bike riding. I have seen many falls at biking speed and head damage can be extensive.
Thanks for such a thorough review, your content keeps getting better with every video!! What would you say is the best tracker/smartwatch (non-apple) for weight lifting?
Concerning the differences in heart rate. I noticed that it seems most of the time worst in the first session you show. Could it be that the machine learns to better detect with time ? I know that it is one of the principles of AI machines 🤷🏻♂️
Mr Rob you are making very good Job, appriciate and thank you very much, I am looking for a smartwatch nowadays and your videos are very benefit to compare the watchs, it seems that for fitness and health data Garmin Venu 2 is the best, and ı am waiting for all health tests comparing Garmin Venu 2 and Galaxy watch 4, thank you again...
Well, I would have hoped sleep was more accurate, how can I trust it to give me a sleep score if it doesn't measure REM sleep correctly. By the way, there is a new firmware that got released this week, not sure it change anything concerning sleep measurement tho... Garmin give us better sleep tracking!!! Thanks
Does someone know if the Garmin Venu 2 sq have the same senors for heart rate tracking as the Venu 2? Otherwise I would love to see the Venu 2 sq test from you Rob. There are unfortunately not a lot of good heart rate tracking watches for Android with a rectangular shape.
Incredible job, this videos are exactly what I was looking for, an objective comparison between smart watches... it would be nice to have a new review on the Venu 2 after GARMIN's last mayor software update... I think it would be very very interesting... THANKS THIS CHANNEL IS JUST GREAT! 👍
Thank you excellent review. I was wondering if you will do a scientific review on wearables but on stress monitoring/trending. Garmin use the stress and know with the pandemic all that still work feel some high stress from our jobs. Some brands that are working on stress includes: Garmin, Huawei, Samsung Galaxy, Amazfit, etc . Is there any brand that the wearable will alert you if a high stress conditioning is happening?
My Venu 2 counts steps at night (~30-50 steps) while I am 100% sure that I didn't get out of bed. I observed it for a week and all this time I got the wrong results.
It okay for it to be off considering it's doing it all from your wrist, i don't want to look like robocop with all those devices if i ever wanted accurate readings.
Samsung is releasing a new update today that supposedly will improve the HR measurement. It will would be nice to see whether it actually improved or not. edit: wrong video
Do you have a similar detailed scientific review on the Garmin venu sq? Perhaps even a comparison between venu2 and venu sq would be well appreciated. Your vids and explanations are amazing, thank you.
Another great video! I have been watching several of your complete reviews and it seems like most watches are not excellent at sleep tracking. Is there a watch that stands out in the sleep tracking category?
All Fitbits are generally really good at sleep tracking but they lack in durability. Every smart watch has a catch. Venu 2 and 2 plus are the best fitness centric smart watches. Choose yours wisely, cheers!
Hey! How did u export the sleep data from the app? I'm also looking to do some extended analyses of the sleep stages and the view that you have in the App isn't precise enough for me
Hi, can you possibly just recommend your favorite wearable for sleep tracking? i've watched a couple of your videos now and cant decide on which watch/ring to purchase. Thanks!
Thank you, does anyone that own this watch know if it counts steps while driving /lifting weights as I have to drive often for my job and my current Fitbit Versa 3 counts SO MANY STEPS while I'm driving and while lifting weights. I'm almost about to return the Versa 3 for the Venu 2 but I just need to know if it counts steps while driving.
Good review, I get similar behaviour wrt rem sleep tracking, barely any is reported. But didn't you want to go swimming to test the underwater HR accuracy? ;)
Hi! I’m between Venu 2 and Galaxy Watch 4, almost convinced on buying Venu 2 (more expensive in my country) for it’s sleep, oxygen and fitness tracking. Do you think I should go for the GW4 or is it more innacurate?
Hi, you haven't mentioned if you started an activity on the Venu 2 before performing the activity, in my experience this changed considerably the accuracy. Have you thought about that or you just recorded the heart rate?
Servus, Which SmartWatch would you recommend (Android compatible)? I used Garmin Venu2 for a couple of months and recently the Heartrate monitor and pulse oximeter stopped working. For some reason the green lights from the sensor didn't appear in spite of several restarts and hard reset. Unfortunately had to return it back. I'm sure the sensors got shorted internally as they were draining out the battery from full charge to 10% within 4 hours. Mach's gut!
could the deviation during cycling activity be related to the wearability of the device? The results are strange... it's a cardio activity like spinning.
@@sempremodesto1 more or less everything, but mostly the sleep tracking, which was all over the place (compared to a fitbit which I also slept with). Strees was random and meaningless. 24 puls tracking didn't work and there where huge lapses in the tracking
Hello, could you test the garmin vivomove style please ? Or would the test be similar with this garmin venu? Thank you for all your test, they are very helpfull !

So, basically, you need two watches - a Fitbit for sleep tracking and a Garmin for everything else.

Oooo, nice background!! 🙌 Another great review!
One of THE best review channels on youtube. Do you have any thoughts of Fitbit locking data such as SpO2 behind premium, Rob?
It would be great if you can conduct a research on the Garmin vivoactive series. The vivoactive 4 and 4s seems to be a pretty popular choice.
