hi everyone Abby here and welcome back to my channel for tech tuesday or welcome if you're
new today i'm going to be comparing the garmin venu 2s versus the garmin fenix 6s sapphire or
6s pro guys because this has the same features as the pro version but before i get started make
sure to hit that subscribe button so you can stay tuned to all my new videos dropping weekly
and so you can help the channel grow so i do want to let you guys know that this is going to be
a comparison highlighting the overview kind of the similarities and differences if you do want to see
a more in-depth review i have done one on both of these watches which you can find in the top right
and in the description below so i have the garmin fenix 6s sapphire in the color black rose gold
and i have the garmin venu 2s in the color white rose gold and the first difference i'm going to
talk about today is the prices the phoenix 6s sapphire starts at 1029.99 canadian or 749.99
american and the fenix 6s pro comes in at 879.99 canadian or 649.99 american so both are definitely
pretty expensive guys i'd highly recommend getting this on sale and on sale only and now coming over
to the venue 2s here so this one goes for 519.99 canadian or 399.99 american so something else to
keep in mind is that phoenix here has been out for a while now it came out at the end of 2019
so it does go on sale quite frequently and the venu 2s here did come out 2021 this year doesn't
go on sale as frequently all right guys so now i'm going to go into some spec comparisons here
and i'm going to be starting off with the spec differences starting off with the venu 2s
it does have an amoled display so you can definitely see those bright bold punchy colors
it has a resolution of 360 by 360 pixels it has an updated heart rate sensor it weighs 38.2 grams
it has music storage of up to 650 songs a water rating of 5 atm it has a battery life of up to 10
days as a smartwatch or 11 days in battery saver mode it has a 1.1 inch display and the lens here
is made of gorilla glass 3. now coming over to the fenix 6s sapphire or 6s pro because they
have the exact same functions guys so this one has a translative sunlight visible display so it looks
really great outdoors guys super easy readability it has a resolution of 240 by 240 pixels it has a
always on display and i mean a real always on display here guys it weighs 59 grams has music
storage of up to 2 000 songs it has a water rating of 10 atm or 100 meters so you can definitely do
some things with this that you can't do with the venue to us such as high speed water activities it
has a battery life of up to nine days as a smart watch or up to 34 days with battery saver turned
on the phoenix 6s sapphire here does have a 1.2 inch display it has built-in maps built-in golf
courses suggested workouts and when it comes to actual activity tracking the phoenix 6s track a
lot more activities than the venue 2s can and more guys but i'm definitely running out of space here
you can see it does have that 1.2 inch display it also has 5 buttons here because this one is
button operated on the back we can see some metal and this one does have a 20 millimeter
quick fit watch band now coming over to the venu 2s it does have that 1.1 inch display
on the back there is no metal it's kind of like that plastic and this one has a 18 millimeter
quick release band so this is kind of like the standard um watch band that you will find so
now you guys are seeing the display of these watches outdoors in natural lighting and i
do find the fenix 6s easier to read outdoors it's definitely clearer and kind of less glare however
with the venue you are able to read it outdoors you just might have to bump up the brightness or
turn on auto brightness to make sure it is bright enough for you to read when you are out in natural
lighting or if it's sunny for example so as you can see the colors do appear differently both of
these are the purple option and this one is always on as you can see by the display still being on
and the phoenix here does have a bigger display so you can definitely have more
information on there depending on the watch face and you do have a bigger font
all right guys so this is what they look like on me
i just put them on the same wrist here so you guys can see the difference between the display size a
little bit easier so there's not really a huge difference in the display size between the 1.1
and 1.2 in my opinion but this watch definitely does look a lot like sleeker however i do find
the fenix does look a lot more premium especially when you do have on you know the nylon bands and
i do have a seven inch wrist guys i typically go up to the six hole from the bottom on both watches
all right guys so talking about comfort between both of these watches i find them both comfortable
to wear this one's 59 grams this one's 38 but honestly they feel like the exact same when i
wear them solo it doesn't really feel much heavier surprisingly so i'm really happy about that here
all right guys so now i'm going to go into a comparison about the spec
similarities so both watches have advanced sleep tracking they have gps galileo and glonass
they have animated workouts women's health tracking hydration tracking
they can both track your steps your force climbed your calories your heart rate and more as you
guys can see on screen and these are not all of them but these are the main ones in my opinion
all right guys so getting into the battery life here i do wanna let you guys know that i've had
the same watch face on both watches at the same time and i've been using them both 24 7 just
wearing one kind of on each wrist and i have my typical uses on screen for you guys so with
my uses i have gotten seven to eight days with both watches however i do tend to get an extra
couple hours out of the venu 2s so as you guys can see the venu 2s is the 32 or this is at 23
the venu 2s is lasting longer guys however if you do turn on the battery saver mode the fenix 6s pro
definitely will win here so this is what the battery saver mode looks like on both of these
watches pretty basic but the fenix does give you um battery life where this one does not
give you that little indicator so that's just something also to keep in mind
the venu 2s is touchscreen operated and it does have two buttons at the side here to help you
use it so it's pretty easy to go through all your metrics you kind of just swipe
and you can just see everything there so i find it super helpful here so the fenix 6s
sapphire here is button operated guys they do have similar looking interfaces which i really like
as you guys can see and then with both when you click on one you just get you know bigger image of
that item so i really like that for both of these watches i love the interface here but in terms
of operation which one's easier for you which one's better that depends on your preferences
you know there are benefits of both with the button operation here you are very unlikely to
accidentally activate your screen and that can be really crucial for people maybe you're a swimmer
because you don't want your screen activating or you know screen sound times activates
in the shower and stuff and sometimes at night if you like bump your arm the screen will turn on as
well you don't have those issues with a button only operated watch however coming over to the
venue 2s this one has the benefit of being easier to use and you can navigate the watch faster guys
all right guys now i'm going to talk about accuracy so
the venu 2s does have an upgraded heart rate sensor with that we are seeing little differences
and it does come to activity tracking and sleep tracking so i'm just going to show you guys my
sleep from last night on both of these watches so you can see you know how they compare all
right guys so we can see that the sleep scores are differing here this is a 61 this is 65. but
they both do say the same message here and then if we are looking at the graphs guys
you know the exact same um time i fell asleep in time that i woke up you could see on here
however we do see some differences here when it does come to the sleep stages on the watches
and in my opinion i'm actually finding this one to be a bit more accurate for sleep tracking
when it comes to the heart rate sensors for my activities i'm finding them both to be
about the same they differ between like maybe like two to five percent so nothing crazy here
all right guys so if you currently have the garmin venu 2s and you're thinking about upgrading to the
you know phoenix 6 series is it worth the upgrade well at this time i'm going to say no coming in
over a thousand canadian and 900 american no it's too much i don't think you can justify
that price jump between these watches and this is a fantastic watch here i mean this watch has
you know upgraded heart rate sensor it has better battery life and it does have an amoled display
so those are functions that i think do make this one um you know good to keep for right
now this is the watch that just came out 2021 this one's a little bit older here however if
you are someone who does want a button-only operated watch you want something very durable
and you want built-in maps um golf courses and a better water rating then i would definitely
say you can check out the fenix 6s series especially getting that on sale you can
definitely grab it at a great price because this one is also a great watch all right guys
so comment below i'd love to hear which watch you guys would prefer and which one you think
is better you know for the cost the features all that stuff so i hope you guys did find
this comparison helpful and if there's anything i missed that you want to know just go ahead and
