Though it is not clear if the Venu 2 has a bigger battery or if it&#8217;s consuming less power. The new rapid recharge technology allows for having the watch back on your wrist in less time.

You&#8217;ll then get a short summary on the watch itself and a detailed report using the Garmin Connect app. The vital signs include your heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation, respiration reate as well as the level of stress.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-toc-id='PXzti'>Bigger music storage<\/h2>\n<p>Many of Garmin&#8217;s more complex (and more expensive) watches offer onboard storage that can be used to transfer music and podcasts. The storage depends on the product and reaches from 4 GB up to 32 GB. Though some of the storage is eaten up by the operating system and maps, there is plenty of space left. While smaller models offer enough to store up to 500 songs, the Fenix 6 Pro can store up to 2,000 songs.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-121\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-121 tablepress-vergleich tablepress-vergleich-cols-5\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Venu<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Venu 2<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">FR 245 Music<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">FR 945<\/th><th class=\"column-6\">Fenix 6 Pro<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Storage<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">4 GB<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">n\/a<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">4 GB<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">16 GB<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">32 GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Music Storage<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">up to 500 songs<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">up to 650 songs<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">up to 500 songs<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">up to 1,000 songs<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">up to 2,000 songs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Spotify - Offline<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Amazon Music - Offline<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Deezer - Offline<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p>The Venu 2 offers enough memory to store up to 650 songs.
