Garmin has officially launched their latest smartwatch for the Malaysian market. Called the Garmin Venu, it combines both fitness and health tracking into a single wrist-tracker which is compatible with most mobile OS in the market.

What makes this model stand out is the new Always-On OLED screen that delivers information at a glance. Compared to the previous model, the new screen saves battery and yet shows all the information needed without having the screen go blank.

The health tracking with the Venu is extensive; you get the usual heartrate sensor, sleep tracking and steps taken. What’s new are the other tracking modes – these include new respiration tracking, abnormal heart rate alerts, menstrual cycle tracking, stress tracking with relax reminders, new hydration tracking, breath work activities, and more. You can also check the status of your body power level with the new Body Battery energy monitoring.

It connects to your smartphone, and grabs all the important notification you need and display it on your wrist. Android users can even directly reply to the messages on their wrist. You can even download songs or playlists from Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer, and listen to them on-the-go, untethered from your smartphone thanks to the built-in storage.

The Garmin Venu is priced at RM 1,799 available in Granite Blue with Silver Hardware*, Black with Slate Hardware, Light Sand with Rose Gold Hardware, and Black and Gold Hardware*.
