I own & wear, 23.4×7, a much more expensive ($999.99) ‘Epix Gen 2‘
Sapphire Black Titanium. See below. That is my tanned wrist.
The ‘Venu 2 PLUS‘ is a NOTHING watch! When it came out a year ago ALL it offered above what was on the ‘Venu 2’ was voice-commands. I didn’t need voice-commands. So, I didn’t get one. Instead, I kept my Venu 2 as a backup & bought the high-end Epix Gen 2. I like my Epix Gen 2. It is feature rich, robust & looks good.
The Venu 2 PLUS would be a major downgrade for I!
Yes, as I already stated I don’t need ECG. SMILE.
But this decision by Garmin irks me. Kick in the teeth for US their loyal high-end customers.
I am sure that they will be FORCED to add the ECG capability to the Epix 2 & ‘Fenix 7’. They should have done it FIRST. Their most expensive, high-end watches (not counting the ridiculous MARQ range (& before you accuse me of ‘sour grapes’, I did OWN a MARQ & ended up trading it in for a Fenix 6!)
