Here are its key features to look out for:

1. It’s stylish

Unlike previous Garmin and other smartwatch counterparts, the Garmin Venu is stylish enough to be worn as a fashion accessory as it is for all its smartwatch functions. It comes in four different colours for your picking – black with gold, light sand with rose gold, granite blue with silver and black with slate, with the bezel coming in an elegant metal finish. 

But the display itself is the standout feature; it’s got a bold and vibrant screen with a full touchscreen.

2. It’s your very own personal trainer
