The Venu 2 Plus mentioned in the article is $50 more than the $399 Apple Watch. Doesn't seem that crazy.

A photo caption in the article said it best: >“The Venu 2 Plus is the closest thing Garmin has to a full-featured OLED smartwatch.”

$50 more for a fitness tracker that’s finally adding an ekg which apple had what 2, maybe 3 generations ago now? It’s still charging more for an inferior product.

You don't have to own an iPhone for one. Apple rules out a portion of the market just by that and I'm perfectly happy with my venu 2.

The Garmin battery life is soo much longer than the Apple watches.

It's been a good watch and has both helped me get into better shape but has also clued me in to stress levels and the issues they can cause. That definitely has been an early warning system when I'm getting sick.

How do you mean? I have no idea where you live so I can't speak to the pricing there, but here the price for Venu 2 is quite sensible.
