When you mention Jiaming, what do you think of?
Outdoor? Off-road?
Although most people’s first impressions on this brand are hardcore sports style, in fact, Garmin has recently introduced some more close-to-life watch products, and Garmin Venu is one of them.
So, what about the Garmin watches that are not so hard?
Garmin Venu continues Garmin’s consistently strong design style. The watch’s screen is a 1.2-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 390*390 pixels. The periphery of the screen is a circle of stainless steel bezel.
We have yinjin black color, black strap and body, which looks more calm, and the gold bezel, buttons and clasps make it add a little more. Exquisite feeling.
Jia Ming Venu’s strap is made of skin-friendly silicone, which is more friendly than the steel belt. It won’t be handy, nor will it be uncomfortable when it is worn in winter. A while.
In addition, like most smart watches, Garmin Venu also supports the replacement of different dials through app downloads to meet your needs. However, I have to vomit here, if you want to download the dial, you have to install an external app, and then log in more than one account, it is too much trouble.
The back of the watch is the charging port and the Pulse Ox pulse oximetry sensor. It is worth noting that Venu relies on this dedicated interface on the back, whether it is charging or data transmission. In other words, when traveling for business, remember to bring a dedicated data cable.
Hard core, outdoor, sports, and health have always been the impression of Garmin wearables.
Venu is not hardcore and outdoor, but still sporty and healthy compared to other product lines.
We don’t have much to say about the motion tracking features of most smart watches. We will focus on the features that are unique to Venu, including pulse oximetry, body power, all-day stress scores, and heart rate throughout the day.
First talk about pulse blood oxygen. The Pulse Ox pulse oximeter mentioned above has almost become the standard for Garmin watches. Oxygen saturation, in fact, refers to the oxygen in the blood. The blood oxygen content in the human body is generally maintained at about 90%, and the higher the oxygen content of the blood, the better the metabolism of the human body.
Of course, the blood oxygen content is not the higher the better, the blood oxygen in the human body is a certain degree of saturation, too low will cause the body to supply oxygen insufficient, too high will cause the body cells to age.
And Garmin Venu allows users to detect blood oxygen saturation around the clock or while sleeping. However, this function has a greater impact on battery life, so the watch is turned off by default, and users in need need to manually turn it on.
It’s so tired today.
How tired is it?
Ask Venu. This is another very interesting feature of Garmin Venu: body power. As the name suggests, it quantifies your body state and then compares it to a power from 0 to 100, giving you a more intuitive view of your body’s current condition.
In the actual experience, I feel that this power display and the intuitive feeling of the body are fairly well matched. Take the experience of the previous day as an example. Due to the intense work in the morning, the watch showed that the body’s power has dropped relatively quickly, and the battery fell by 48% in a few days. After that, after an hour of lunch break, the power returned to 61%. Afternoon work is relatively easy, until the time of work, the power is still about 35%.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the starting value of the daily body power is not simply starting from 100, but based on actual conditions. For example, if I had a bad rest the night before, the starting value of the body’s power on that day would be only about 80%, and the better the rest, the higher the value.
Let’s talk about the two functions of respiratory frequency and pressure monitoring. Garmin Venu is the first smart watch on the market that can detect respiratory frequencies. In simple terms, this function can measure the HRV based on heart rate variability by testing the number of breaths per minute. The significance of this data is the data that can prevent and detect respiratory sinus arrhythmias.
Sinus arrhythmia is a common heart disease, although it has little effect, but if you don’t pay attention, it may cause a more serious disease. Because I myself have sinus heart rate tachycardia, and the test data of this watch can let me know my heart rate status in real time around the clock.
In addition to heart problems, stress issues are also worthy of our close attention. Garmin VenuAnd can quantify your current stress state as a specific stress index. Let users know more about their current stress status more intuitively. If the pressure is too high, you can take a breathing exercise.
Different from the simple breathing exercises of other smart watches, Venu’s training is divided into four modes, including calm, relaxation and concentration, short-term relaxation and concentration, and coherent breathing. The four modes are aimed at decompression, relaxation, concentration, and sleep.
As a smart watch focused on sports and health, Garmin Venu has something it can’t do. So what about the experience of non-healthy sports, what about Garmin Venu?
For a wearable device, the user is most concerned about battery life. Then in terms of battery life, in the normal smart mode, Garmin Venu’s power can last for five days. If you turn on GPS+GLONASS, the watch’s battery life is 18 hours.
As with most smart watches, Garmin Venu also supports mobile notifications, but unfortunately only supports simple text display, and there is nothing you can do with expressions and pictures.
In addition, Garmin Venu also supports the introduction of music into the watch, and then listens through the Bluetooth headset, which is convenient for users to listen to songs during exercise.
In general, although Garmin Venu is not the same as the other series of hardcore off-road sports scenes, its sports attributes and health monitoring will be more prominent than other smart watches. If you are concerned about sports and health and want to buy a smart watch that is more professional in testing, and you don’t want to give up the daily functions like information notification, Garmin Venu will be a good choice.
