Venu 2 Training Effect - Recovery time - Vo2Max

Hi Garmin,

Please add Training Effect and Recovery time Vo2Max metrics, it's a huge flaw, if it's a Garmin smartwath it should come with these metrics, if it didn't stick with Huawei or Apple.

That's what distinguishes you, because if you don't have these metrics, it's just the same as so many others...

I changed my smartwatch because of these options I already have on the edge 830, I paid 400€ for Venu 2 and it doesn't have these data...very bad.

Thanks

    Im not a runner, so I didnt bought forerunner... I do more sports, and thouse old hua  band  4 give me training efect and recovery time on them (sure more info too). Is training efect on garmin pointless, good to know.  Now Im in point, that I think I bought just a jewel that publicly says Im bad decision maker. 

    Reviews say venu 2 are multisport watches, ahead of the competition... they should say is jewel with some of competitor's functions, but don't expect features you have on 40$ fit band.

    Simply €400 without much use... :(

    This recovery features are generally for running. One thing Garmin does very well is the basics. Hr, gps. 

    i guarantee the £40 foot band won’t do them as well. Their recovery metrics will likely be pointless also. 

    You don’t need a watch to tell you when to rest and when to push. You can do that yourself. 

    that’s my take anyway.

    If one needs better HR he still end up using an arm HR monitor.... Did I buy an expensive HR monitor that is not so accurate as the arm one?

    Better GPS? Maybe. But without map or navigation support? I just compared one activity, and I don't see even a noticeable difference between 40$ and venu 2 (I can see that Venu thinks I walked 30 meters away from the track)... both are not accurate, but good enough to not needing to calculate the distance and draw course manually.

    So you just say, they are better in a pointless way, but luck other functions because they are pointless too? Thank you.
