Training effect and recovery in Venu 2

4809675
over 3 years ago

I saw that this topic was discussed many times and the lack of these options was explained by the fact that the Venu series is not a typical sports series, but a lifstyle.

As for the first generation of Venu, I would agree, but Venu 2 finally received HIIT applications, a new application for strength training and the latest set of Elevate sensors.
For people like me and many others who don't want to sacrifice a beautiful OLED touch screen, there is no alternative whatsoever, which is why I believe these items should appear. If not in the full form in which these widgets are available in other series, then maybe in a simpler one.

    Depends how much you want to spend.

    I'm coming from Venu 2 and i loved it too but i wanted the extra metrics...after few months Garmin launched the Epix 2 and it's everything(and a lot more) that i needed.

    Cost is high, that's true, but i should be ok with it for 2 years at least or maybe even more.

    Maybe the new forerunners will have OLED too.

    I still find it shameful that the Venu 2 doesn't have these basic features that exist in much cheaper competitive equipment, it's a real mistake on the part of Garmin!

    I fully agree.

    Agree as well - this is a big miss on Garmin's part.

    To those that say "get a Fenix or Epix 2", understand some people don't want dimensionally much bulkier and heavier watches, particularly for day-to-day wear.  

    A "workaround" for some is IF you do have a device that does training effect/ recovery is that you upload your exercise to your phone, power on and sync your phone to your training/recovery device, device crunches numbers, sync back to your phone. No, it still won't show on your Venu2 but at least you are aware of the data on your phone.

    Another workaround would be Runalyze--which is fantastic.
