I’m a smartwatch reviewer, and this Garmin Venu 2 Black Friday deal is better than most Apple Watches

There are some really good Black Friday Garmin deals out there right now on five-star watches – among them, the excellent Garmin Venu 2. It’s been rated higher than any recent Apple Watch, even the super-premium Apple Watch Ultra 2, thanks to just the right balance of features, performance, and value. 

If you’re in the market for a Black Friday smartwatch deal and you own an iPhone, the first thing you’re probably doing is sharking around for an Apple Watch. However, if you’re looking for an Apple Watch specifically to help you improve your fitness, we can recommend a deal for you, and it’s not actually one of the best Apple Watch models. Garmins can be used with any device, Apple or Android, and offers one of the best, most detailed companion apps on the market in Garmin Connect.
