This is the first thing you notice: The two watches look similar, with their round case, their OLED panel and the two buttons on the right edge. In fact, the Vivoactive 5 (42.2 x 42.2 x 11.1 mm) would be an additional case size alongside the original (45.4 x 45.4 x 12.2 mm), the Venu 2 Plus (43.6 x 43 .6 x 12.6 mm) and Venu 2S (40.4 x 40.4 x 12.1 mm).

The Vivoactive 5 therefore offers a 1.2-inch screen, slightly smaller than that of the Venu 2 and Venu 2 Plus (1.3 inches), but also larger than that of the 2S (1.1 inches). The final consequence of this change in case size is that the Vivoactive 5, like the Venu 2 Plus, sticks to 20mm diameter straps, compared to 22mm for the Venu 2; Good to know for anyone who already has bracelets lying around in their drawer.

In addition to the dimensions, the workmanship also differs: the Vivoactive 5 has an aluminum bezel, while that of the current competitor is made of stainless steel. However, both are equally elegant. Finally, both models are waterproof up to 5 ATM, so you can swim or shower with them, but not diving or surfing.
There is therefore no real winner in this round; We can give the Venu 2 a small edge because its screen is surrounded by bezels that are barely thinner than those of the Vivoactive 5. In fact, it will mostly be a matter of knowing whether we prefer a slightly smaller watch or a significantly smaller watch larger screen.
