Even though it doesn’t generally get the same kind of media attention as Apple, Samsung, or even Fitbit, Garmin is a pretty successful smartwatch vendor, ranking fifth overall in global shipments during Q2 2021, for instance.
As the name suggests, the Garmin Venu 2 Plus is set to incrementally upgrade the “regular” Venu 2 rather than bringing a radical redesign or a very long list of meaningful changes to the table. The only obvious addition to the Venu 2 design seems to be a third side-mounted button, expected to support microphone functionality for the making and receiving of voice calls on your wrist (presumably in tandem with a connected smartphone).
The only other details revealed here are the inclusion of GPS and multi-GNSS technology for super-accurate tracking of future users, water resistance up to 50 meters deep, stainless steel build materials, and a 43mm case diameter that squeezes perfectly between the 41 and 45mm case sizes of the Venu 2S and Venu 2 respectively.
