Hi everyone,
I’ve been using the Garmin Venu 2 for tracking workouts and daily activity, and I’m curious about how accurate its calorie estimates are for real-world fitness goals.
I recently compared my watch data with an online tool that calculates your calorie need based on age, height, weight, and activity level (similar to a James Smith–style calorie calculator). The numbers are close, but not always the same.
For those of you who use the Venu 2 regularly:
-
Do you rely on it to calculate daily calories?
-
How accurate do you find it for fat loss or maintenance?
-
Do you cross-check it with another calculator that calculates your calorie need?
Would love to hear real experiences from long-term users. Thanks!
