Style and utility, health and fitness, mind and body — all connected by Garmin

Malaysia, 24 May 2021 — Garmin today announced the Venu® 2 and Venu 2S GPS smartwatches – 45mm watch case and 40mm watch case respectively - aimed at helping customers live a better, healthier life.

IDC’s 2020 Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker® reported that the worldwide shipments of wearables for the year 2020 grew 28.4 percent to 444.7 million units from the year 2019. Since the start of the pandemic, users in Asia have been increasingly paying more attention to health and fitness. According to Garmin Connect data in Asia, there has been a steady rise in indoor aerobic activities such as yoga, strength training and indoor cardio as compared to the same period1 last year. In comparison, the proportion of outdoor walking activities have dropped significantly by 17.7 percent in the same period, likely due to the varying pandemic situations and lockdown restrictions in the respective countries - users continue to stay active while keeping indoors.

In the latest Venu 2 Series GPS smartwatches, a new fitness age and sleep score join a robust portfolio of all-day health monitoring features that provide users with deeper and more meaningful insights into their overall wellness. A new Health Snapshot  helps users log, record and share important health stats with a healthcare provider. Users can effortlessly track their health and wellness with a comprehensive suite of health monitoring features right on their wrist with the improved interface design and find more ways to move with over 25 built-in sports apps with enhanced strength training profile with muscle map graphics that come to life on the bright AMOLED display. Users can enjoy an enhanced battery life of up to 11 days in smartwatch mode on the Venu 2 and 10 days on Venu 2S and with rapid recharging.

“At the core of the Venu product line is the belief that you can work on building a healthier lifestyle so you live better,” said Mr. Scoppen Lin, Director, Garmin Asia. “The Venu 2 series builds on this story with exciting new features that help explain what’s going on inside your body as well as the fitness and wellness tools needed to make healthy choices every day so you can work on a better you in a scientific-based tracking and effective way each day.”

Body Battery energy monitoring shows users how “charged” their body is, helpful for scheduling workouts, rest times and sleep. The new Health Snapshot feature lets users log a 2-minute session to record key health stats and generate a report they can share with a healthcare provider.

When it’s time to recharge, the Venu 2/2S advanced tracks light, deep and REM sleep stages as well as movement, Pulse Ox and respiration.
