Although you can see your texts on the Garmin Venu 2S, you can't reply to them.

Sadly, Apple makes certain functions exclusive to its own smartwatches. For example, you to reply to texts with the on-screen keyboard (or even via voice dictation) with the Apple Watch Series 8. However, unlike the Series 8, Garmin Venu 2S does not have a temperature sensor to track menstruation and ovulation. Similar to the Apple Watch Series 8, the Garmin Venu 2S has GPS, tracks blood oxygen levels, features a heart-rate monitor, offers a compass, and packs a gyroscope. Even if the Venu 2S lives up to half of that battery life claim, it can still last much longer than the Apple Watch Series 8, which has an 18-hour runtime. Garmin claims that the Venu 2S can last up to 10 days on a single charge. The battery runtime delta between the two smartwatches is drastic. Put your charger away because you do not have to worry about the Garmin Venu 2S draining out of juice in less than two days. The Garmin Venu 2S, at $399, is listed at the same price as the cheapest Apple Watch Series 8 you can get. Special features: SpO2, heart-rate alerts, incident detection during outdoor activities, compass, always-on altimeter Voice assistants: No (must upgrade to the Venu 2 Plus)
