The battery life of your Garmin watch may be affected by how you use the watch. The information in the tables below is intended to outline the conditions used to determine the battery life specifications. Usage beyond what is listed below, or usage of features not listed, may result in reduced battery life. The information presented below is presented as a general guide for reference only on the Venu® 2 and Venu® 2S smartwatches.
The following usage assumptions determine the estimated battery life for the Venu 2 and Venu 2S. Unless otherwise stated, all default software settings and configurations are assumed for the battery life specifications.

1 The Venu 2 and Venu 2S utilize an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust the display brightness to an acceptable level depending upon the level of ambient light. Using the device outdoors in bright environments may reduce battery life.
2 The “default” watch face for the Venu 2 and Venu 2S is the watch face present on the device when it is taken out of the box. The Venu 2 and Venu 2S are designed to work with a variety of native watch faces as well as compatible Connect IQ watch faces. The usage of watch faces other than the default watch face may impact the battery life experienced in smartwatch mode.
3 The average number of hours per day of sleep is determined by the user-configured bed and wake times (a "sleep period"), not the number of hours the user actually sleeps. During this sleep period, the device's display is turned off. As a result, setting a shorter sleep period may decrease the battery life experienced in display always on mode.
