Gamrin Venu Sportswatch, Refurbished, Small

[No compensation of any kind was received in connection with this review.] I'll try to focus my comments on this specific refurbished item, rather than on the Garmin Venu itself. That said, it's odd that the name of the product is mis-typed. It arrived in the box pictured in the Amazon listing, a box that contained the watch, a charging cable, and nothing else. I've got a Garmin Instinct watch that uses the same cable, so this cable is a useful backup. That also means that I already had Garmin Connect installed on my phone, so setting up the Venu was easy and familiar. But setup might not be so simple for someone less accustomed to Garmin devices. The Venu watch was cosmetically perfect on arrival; not a mark anywhere. Setup and pairing with my phone was easy and painless. The watch has since updated its software a few times, and Garmin Connect works with it exactly as it does with my Garmin Instinct, which I did not buy as refurbished. I've installed a few watchfaces with Garmin Connect IQ, and that process was straightforward. I've played with quite a few of the settings and everything seemed to react as expected. With Activity Tracking enabled, I get about 6 days on a charge of the battery. I usually disable that option and then get just over 10 days on a charge. Admittedly, my usage habits don't stress the battery a lot: I don't play music on the Venu, I'm not constantly fiddling with it, and my preferred watchface is low impact. Still, 6 -- 10 days is pretty fair; I'd conclude there's nothing wrong with the battery. In short, I haven't yet found anything wrong with this product: it appears to be genuine, and it functions as it would had I paid full price. My reservations (and they are minor) relate to the design and construction of the watch, and those would apply equally to the full priced item. With that in mind, 5 stars: this is one of the better purchases I've made on Amazon. It's the best of many smartwatches that I've tried, and by choosing refurbished I got a discount of around $100 from Amazon's usual price, along with no shortcomings that I can find. Excellent!
