Purchasing advice

Hi there,

Îm quitting Fitbit after 3 long laborious years to see my watch counting 50 levels a day doing teleworking at home and so more irritating things…

So I’m really interesting on this Garmin venu 2 plus but a have a few questions.  Can I ask you some advice ?

Thanks you guys. 

- Can I lock the screen during activities to avoid untimely start/stop ? 
- Can I see my HR continuously, I mean in real-time on main screen or should I click or wait for a refresh every X time ?

- Is there any efficient torchlight app in or in store ?

- Does the mic and speakers are correct ? I often carrying my daughter in bike so need it for quick call answer.

- Is the stats counting looks like correct because with Fitbit a can walk 2000 steps sit down in the front of my computer by moving the mouse…

Cheers

  • Hi,

    Yes, you can lock the screen during an activity.

    Yes, you can see HR continuously, depending on the watch face. It may only be Garmin faces that update heart rate when the AOD is on.

    There are a few torch light apps in the store and they seem fine.

    You can take calls on the watch, the speaker is surprisingly usable, unless you're in a very noisy place.

    I don't use step counting but I've read reports of phantom steps being recorded. Though not as severe as as you've reported for Fitbit

    Hope this helps.

  • Thank you, now because of you I spent money on it Joy  Just few days to receive it. 

  • Good luck! Hope you enjoy it.
