Garmin Venu 2 Plus review: in pictures
I've never considered Garmin's GPS sports watches as smartwatches, but with the addition of phone call support and hands-free voice assistants the Venu 2 Plus could be considered a smartwatch. These new features and the capability of the Garmin ecosystem make the Venu 2 Plus an extremely compelling wearable to kick off 2022.
