In recent years, many technology companies have begun to involve smart watches or smart bracelets, whose main functions are health monitoring and life entertainment. Giving traditional watches scientific and technological attributes can really add a lot to our health and convenience.
However, for some fitness enthusiasts, they are eager for more professional monitoring and guidance functions to obtain more significant fitness effects. The same is true. Brands like Garmin Jiaming stand out with their professional functions and technologies.
Compared with technology manufacturers, they can better meet the needs of this group of people. Especially in fitness shaping period or professional sports field, such products can effectively provide data collection, various sports coverage, advanced improvement suggestions and other help.
Not long ago, Garmin Jiaming released the latest Venu 2 smart watch, which added a more comprehensive monitoring technology as a whole, and added a new exercise mode to train different muscle groups in the already rich exercise mode. On the basis of satisfying daily entertainment and health monitoring, it can better provide professional technical support for enthusiasts such as fitness shaping and professional sports.
Detailed parameters
1.3 inch round Amir dial
Garmin Jiaming's products have obvious differences in design styles in different positioning. Venu series has always paid attention to the combination of fashion and professionalism, which is obvious in the latest Venu 2. Its overall workmanship is very exquisite. The dial adopts 1.3 inch circular Amir with a diameter of 45mm, which is very convenient for both content display and touch operation.
In addition, in order to ensure the reliability of smart watches in different sports scenes, Venu 2 dial glass adopts Corning's third-generation gorilla glass, which has great protection in scratch and wear resistance. At the same time, Venu 2 also uses a stainless steel ring on the outermost ring of the dial, adding a tough and fashionable atmosphere to the original smart watch.
22 mm wide strap
Because it is more inclined to the sports field, in order to ensure the wearing comfort in various sports, Venu 2 strap is made of silicone material, which has the characteristics of light weight and non-slip, which is very important for users who often wear watches for sports.
Moreover, Venu 2 strap also supports Garmin's quick-release design, and the strap can be quickly replaced by a lever connected with the dial to replace other straps with different styles and materials.
Two buttons on the left side of the dial
In addition to touch operation, Venu 2 has two physical buttons on the left side of the dial, which can call up different functions and menus by clicking and long pressing. The material of the key is stainless steel, just like the decorative ring of the dial outer ring, it will not corrode easily even if it is exposed to substances such as sweat, soil or talcum powder for a long time.
Charging interface &; sensor
The back of the watch is mainly a charging interface and a biological data monitoring sensor. This time, Garmin Jiaming adopts a new generation of optical heart rate sensor independently developed, which changes the arrangement of sensors and can detect heart rate changes faster. In addition, we can also see some functions of Venu 2 at a glance, such as music, GPS, multi-GNSS (multi-satellite system positioning) and 50m (waterproof).
In terms of battery life, Garmin Jiaming officially did not indicate the battery capacity of Venu 2, but gave the battery life. In watch mode, its longest battery life can reach 1 1 day, and the longest GPS+ music mode can reach 8 hours. During the test, the author didn't turn on the internal power-saving mode. Normal use on weekdays can last about 8 days, while in the case of more exercise modes, the battery life is about 3-4 days.
monitoring function
When it comes to smart watches that are biased towards professional sports, many people are afraid that they don't have such professional knowledge reserves and can't understand the data and information conveyed in them. But there is basically no need to worry about this on Garmin Venu 2, and it will be presented to users with some simple data forms and expressions.
First of all, Venu 2 has prepared a lot of dials for people with different preferences to change, and it comes with a variety of choices such as numbers or pointers. If you don't like these, you can also connect with your mobile phone and download them from Connect IQ APP. There are so many kinds of dials here that there is definitely a dial suitable for you.
After selecting the dial, you can directly slide up and down in the dial state to view different monitoring functions, including HRV heart rate variability, blood oxygen, respiratory rate, pressure level, sleep blood oxygen and sleep respiratory rate. Moreover, each item can be clicked independently to enter the secondary menu, so that more detailed numerical observation can be carried out.
In the second generation of Venu 2, Garmin Jiaming adopted a new generation of optical heart rate sensor independently developed for the first time, and combined with Garmin Elevate professional heart rate algorithm, it can also ensure the accuracy of heart rate data during strenuous exercise and track the heart rate in seconds. Once the heart rate is abnormal, it will be reminded in time. In addition, Venu series also has pregnancy/menstrual management monitoring specially prepared for women, and this function has also been preserved.
Quick page
In the dialing state, you can directly bring up the shortcut page by sliding to the left, and you can customize various functions. I am used to setting it as a music adjustment function, which can directly adjust the playing state of the mobile phone.
In addition, Venu 2 also supports the music storage function, which can synchronize the song list from QQ music and migu music, with a storage space of about 650 songs.
primary menu
If the user presses the above physical button for a long time, the main menu interface of Venu 2 can be brought up, and the overall functions of the watch can be adjusted, such as Bluetooth switch, positioning, on-off switch, stopwatch and other functions are displayed here.
Function setting
Long press the function button to adjust very detailed functions. As mentioned above, Venu 2 can have highly customized functions, such as dial, shortcut page, monitoring content, etc., and can realize customized changes of thousands of people.
In addition to the customization of these practical and operational functions, functional adjustments including heart rate monitoring, sensors and power management are also included in this setting. The author thinks that the functions of "heart rate abnormal reminder", "accident monitoring" and "emergency contact" are still worth spending more time setting up and opening. Especially when there are elderly people or patients at home, occasional emergencies can provide immediate help and physical condition monitoring.
Extremely rich sports patterns
Speaking of sports, if Garmin is second, it is estimated that no one dares to be the first. This is not only due to his many years of experience in the field of sports science and technology, but also the blessing of his powerful algorithm ability.
In the latest Venu 2, there are as many as 25 light sports modes, including running, cycling, skiing, golf, strength training, yoga, swimming and so on. Each model has different statistical logic, which can ensure the most detailed and accurate data report.
In addition, Garmin Jiaming also added HIIT, indoor rock climbing, bouldering and hiking modes. Next, the author will also focus on testing these new features.
Training content
I tried a new "advanced strength training" mode. When I first opened this mode, there were no options. Here, I need to choose the training type in Connect IQ APP. Find the "training" function in the left extension of the APP, covering a relatively rich classification (more than 1 0,400 sports).
Training content
After selecting the training content, you can see all kinds of movements for different movements, different time and different muscle groups. These actions are different in each content, and users can delete them according to their own conditions, equipment and uses.
Of course, if you're not a professional fitness instructor, it's hard to understand that these movements are all for training that muscle group. Don't worry, after selection, the drop-down menu can not only see different movements through the muscle thermogram, but also see which muscle group it is aimed at, so that you can get more targeted fitness effects in the shaping and fitness stage.
Action gesture
When you choose the type of training you need, Connect IQ can be downloaded directly to the Venu 2 smart watch, and then we can start the "advanced strength training" mode for training. In the process of training, there will be a demonstration on the watch, and users can correct their actions through dynamic demonstration.
The content of each training group
At the same time, when you slide to different pages, there will be more detailed planning contents such as the next few groups of actions and heart rate information. In the actual exercise process, Venu 2 can accurately capture information such as whether each movement is standard, real-time heart rate, and current state of the body.
Through upgraded sensors and accurate algorithms, athletes can better understand the state of motion at all times. This "personal" technology is actually more comprehensive than the real-time feedback of private education. The author feels that the whole exercise process is a bit like the switch on the wrist, but it has richer data acquisition and monitoring functions.
Connection data
After the mobile phone Connect APP is connected to Bluetooth, all the data about the user's health and sports information will be automatically uploaded, and users can know their physical state in more detail.
Take walking as an example, it includes exercise time, distance, pace, heart rate, lap distance, lap time and so on. These data will be displayed on the screen in real time during the exercise.
Press the action key again after the exercise, and the watch will stop recording after it vibrates again. At this time, the user will be prompted whether to save the uploaded data for connection, and choose according to the actual situation.
Sleep and stress
For daily health information, Venu 2 is also very comprehensive, such as sleep score and advanced sleep tracking, which is based on the analysis of Firstbeat algorithm, tracking physical activity, blood oxygen saturation and breathing frequency at different sleep stages, and evaluating users' sleep quality in the form of scores.
Different from similar products of other brands, Garmin Venu 2 not only provides various statistics and charts, but also places a "Help" button on the statistics page of each data.
Although the built-in monitoring function of Garmin Venu 2 is very professional, with the correct help information, "Xiaobai" is no problem to use.
Through the above tests, it is not difficult to see that Garmin Venu 2 has made great efforts in battery life, monitoring and fitness. Especially in fitness life, Garmin's professionalism is absolutely the best. But when it comes to majors, many people will also think of obscure words, so they will spend more money to go to the gym and find private classes to simplify their fitness.
Garmin Venu 2 solves the problems of professionalism and ease of use, visualizes the complex fitness and shaping process, and combines professional data with simple analysis to get a more "grounded" professional guidance function.
In addition, regardless of face value, UI or real-time detection ability, Garmin Venu 2 has been greatly improved. Whether you are a fashion crowd who pursues life style or a fitness expert who wants professional style, it can give you a satisfactory answer. Finally, Garmin Venu 2 has become an all-round smart watch with music, message reminder, payment and other life and entertainment functions.
