Welcome back. I’m Marcus, your host here at Garmin’s training video series.
Today I wanted to showcase one of Garmin’s newest additions to our smartwatch lineup, the Venu.
The Venu is offered in a variety of colors including black with slate grey accents,
light sand with rose gold accents, granite blue with stainless accents, and black with gold accents.
As you can see, not only can this watch keep up with your active lifestyle, it also comes in options to match your style.
This GPS smartwatch is designed for the person that has an active lifestyle and does a bit of everything.
From all-day health monitoring, to animated gym workouts and outdoor activities, this watch does it all.
If you want a smartwatch that can keep up with your active lifestyle and has a battery life to handle it,
this is the watch for you.
Now let’s discuss what this watch does best.
The Venu has all the same features as the vivoactive 3 Music that you have come to know and love, and more.
Now I want to call out a couple of things here that are super important for you to understand
in what makes this watch the perfect fit for active customers,
yet very different than any of our other smartwatches.
The Venu is the first of the Garmin smartwatches to have a bright, beautiful AMOLED display.
And along with that, it also has an incredible battery life.
You’ll get up to 5 days in smart watch mode and up to 6 hours in GPS mode while listening to music.
Yes, I said music.
With the Venu, you can load MP3’s, audiobooks and podcasts
directly onto the watch through Garmin Connect or you can load music through a supported music streaming service.
We have a wide array of options available including Spotify, Deezer and Amazon Music.
With Venu you get onboard GPS and a 5 ATM water rating.
That means you can swim and shower with the watch.
We want you to wear it all the time!
Wrist-based heart rate, smart notifications, Garmin Coach 2.0, and a host of other things like steps, sleep,
advanced workouts, customizable screens, and etc. If you want the full list, as always, we encourage you to check out garmin.com
It gets even better!
The Venu gives you access to Garmin coach 2.0 and top-rated coaches,
that will provide you a training plan sent directly to your watch from the Garmin Connect app.
The training plan is adaptive, if you feel the plan is moving too quickly or too slowly,
it will adjust to you and accommodate your changes.
Helping you reach your 5k, 10k or even a half marathon goals!
Are you ever worried about what you would do if something happened during an outdoor activity?
Or, have you ever wanted your significant other to meet you at a highlight point in your Race?
Don’t worry.
We have you covered with these cool features we brought over from the vivoactive 3.
What are these features you may ask?
Assistance, LiveTrack, and incident detection.
Now, these features are dependent on you having your phone with service and connected to your watch during the workout.
I understand not everyone works out with their phone but hear us out.
Safety and tracking features make it easy to share your real-time location
with chosen contacts in case you need assistance.
And the variety of connected features keeps you in touch with friends and family.
LiveTrack sends your location to friends or loved ones during an outdoor activity.
You can have this automatically sent when you begin a workout, or you can send it manually.
For incident detection, the watch detects if there is a fall or incident that occurs.
If you have an incident, the watch can send a message with your real-time location to a predetermined contact.
Now, let’s talk about all the health data that this watch can help you with, such as stress tracking,
body battery, Pulse Ox, and hydration tracking, to name a few.
First, the Venu will track stress.
We all have it, but it has a negative impact on your body and the ability for you to perform at your peak.
With stress tracking, you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.
And relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing exercise.
Stress tracking is helpful in understanding how you’re feeling overall as well as how stress can relate to training.
Next, the Venu also tracks your body battery.
Body battery is an energy monitor.
It uses collected data to gauge your energy reserves at any moment during the day,
helping to determine your optimal times for an activity or rest.
I also mentioned that it has Pulse Ox.
What is Pulse Ox, you ask?
The Venu’s Pulse Ox sensor uses light beams at your wrist
to gauge your blood oxygen saturation during the day and as you sleep.
This shows how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
Lastly, staying hydrated is important for your overall health and well-being.
Hydration tracking allows you to log your daily water intake
to help you stay hydrated and see how consistent you are from day to day.
So, as you can see, with the broadest range of all-day health monitoring features,
Venu can show you the full picture of your health in vivid detail.
Do you enjoy a personalized experience?
With the Venu, you can personalise your watch by downloading free watch faces, apps,
and widgets from our Connect IQ Store. There are thousands to choose from.
You can even use your own photos to create a custom watch face!
We listened to our customers that were nervous or unsure about new activities in the gym,
so we created animated workouts at your wrist.
No more hunting down videos or trainers for workout demonstrations.
This watch features easy-to-follow, animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts you can view from the watch screen.
Choose from preloaded animated workouts or download more from the Garmin Connect online community.
And did we mention they are free!
That’s right, no hidden fees or unforeseen costs.
So, let’s recap.
The Venu is super user-friendly and is a great watch for people that do a little bit of everything,
someone who has an active lifestyle and wants a striking AMOLED display in a stunning design.
Now keep an eye out for some future videos
where we will spend time going in depth on some of the key features that we briefly discussed today.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to learn more about the Venu™.
For now, that’s all I‘ve got.
This is Marcus from Garmin, wishing you all the best and in all that you do, we want to help you beat yesterday.
