Just got a Venu yesterday and wondering how others like theirs. I see some negative posts here but this is after all a product forum and people only seem to post mainly when they are having issues.
So far I am liking this device. Did a mile and a half walk with a few small run intervals just to see how the OHR and GPS worked. Seems to be working fine compared to other devices I have owned.

I had a fenix 6X sapphire, but I am not that advanced and all those advanced features are overwhelming to me. I tried the Apple watch series 5 which was pretty good but I hated having to charge it daily and no native sleep tracking. I then tried the Fitbit Versa 2 but the OHR seemed questionable and used my phones GPS and was not that accurate. But it did have a very nice screen.
I was looking for something that had a nice screen, built in GPS, accurate OHR, and good battery life. Also with enough fitness features without being overwhelming., and the Venu seems to fit that bill for me. I will know more once I test it more. I plan on doing some intervals today over about a 4 mile course at the park across the street, so I will see how that goes.
