Garmin Venu 2 vs Fossil Gen 6

The body battery drains all day during activity. If one wants to recharge (relax,) the move feature will harass them to get up and move, which results in more drain. Not a good feature; it can be removed or ignored. Stress 1

I had gps on. I had my bluetooth earbuds connected to this listening to offline spotify and at the end of the run, i still had plenty of battery left ...

Positives: This smartwatch is really nicely built, has a comfortable feeling while wearing day and night. You can download the connect IQ store app to purchase different watch faces for a really cheap price and can buy different watch bands through Amazon which is nice too. The other thing that I really like about this smartwatch is how super easy it was to pair with my android phone and I love the app. It is super easy to navigate and see all the awesome data that it provides

You want to the most vanilla experience? Get the Fossil Gen 6. You want mostly vanilla and the best battery?

I like the watch mainly bought it to help me track steps. Had an apple watch that bit the dust after long use so I can compare the two. For everyday use ( steps, time, faces, .

I am on my first month and still have yet to get the step counter, cardio fitness level and calories burned to work at the touch.

I was figuring I'd upgrade to a newer Samsung watch. I'm glad I took the time to research and try a Garmin. I'm a techie and quasi-athlete. In other words, I like gadgets and cool tech, and I take exercise somewhat seriously

It had no early preview and it provided no compensation in exchange for this video's production. Please subscribe to the mr mobile on youtube. If you'...

This watch manages about a week, although just barely (certain adjustments or using certain features will increase our decrease that if course), but it still has all of the fancy sensors (and quality ones at that) and pretty decent software. Decent. There's some room for improvement. Navigating through it's menus takes some getting used to, and there's some things that I have to look up or just fiddle with for awhile to remember how to find

Great. But for me none of that really matters if I can't get through a day without it dying on me. If I put it on at 8:00 in the morning, then it would probably be dead by 4:00 p.m

I really love the user experience of the button!. I also like the garmin venu 2 for its design who adds a gps and the music options. I can leave my phone at home when I do workout or running.

Well, I concluded this is cased by a design flaw (and unfortunately Fossil is famous for other design flaws on the previous models) and I don't want to keep a product with this, so I returned. I wish Fossil had done a better job testing it to fix this before releasing it or at least fix it via a SW upload (if a matter of SW only) before I had the issue. Now, too late for me and not looking for a next Fossil watch. Coros, can you lease launch a model with OLED for me to replace my Coros Pace?

3-inch display with 416-by-416 resolution, and weighs 1.7 ounces. The Venu 2S I tested is slim, lightweight, and comfortable.

So far it seems identical to the gen five. There is no stress test I can give the watch (nor do I want one) to see it out perform the gen 5. Real test may show in future updates.

However, after turning off push notifications for certain things I still get them. When you hit a goal like steps, it will alert for each step after not allowing access to anything else unless you stop walking because it gets locked up alerting, but then wait for alerts to stop, then proceed to next function. It's really annoying. I still get voice-mail alerts and phone stuff after turning phone notifications off

I'm primarily looking for fitness tracker, notifications, and media controls. I'm leaning towards the Fossil Gen 6 but i don't want to spend money on junk. The fast charging on the Gen 6 would fit my daily routine pretty well and I like the styling of the Gen 6 significantly more than the Ticwatch just want to make sure I'm not going to buy a desk or ornament.

Having bought it on Amazon Prime Day I saved a lot of $$ on the watch so it’s worth it, but for the original $400 I may have considered returning it.

Plus one of the reviews for the gen-six says:. *"gotta download apps to change watch faces and they want you to pay for more or most apps, max of 10 i think before you have to purchase a premium account to hold up to 20..
