How long does the GPS take to connect

From experience with different garmin watches in the family, the more expensive watches connect to gps pretty quickly with the fenix and Epix lines. My daughter has the Vivactive 4s and it can take over 5 minutes to connect to GPS. curious, how fast does the Venu 2 connect to GPS?

To speed up your GPS connection, you can update the EPO/CPE on your watch. This can be done by syncing your watch with Garmin Connect app or with Garmin Express.

My Venu 2 Plus usually connects within a minute, many times within 30 seconds or so. On rare occasions, it takes up to two minutes.

Always less than 10 seconds, in an open field.

Between a few 10-storey blocks:

-about 20-30 seconds if I stand still

-up to a 1 minute if I start jogging.
