The Garmin Venu 2 comes in more expensive than the original Garmin Venu, and you’ll often find the older model Venu watch discounted at retailers making it better value for money.
The Garmin Venu 2 launched in April 2021 in both 40mm and 45mm case sizes with the 40mm case size model known as the Garmin Venu 2S and is a great choice for those with smaller wrists.
Both displays on the Garmin Venu and Garmin Venu 2S are high resolution and have AMOLED displays that are bright and vivid in all lighting conditions and both are Gorilla Glass, If you want that extra peace of mind and protection while you are out and about I would recommend adding a screen protector.
