Boots customers can treat themselves to a significant sale. The chance to snap up a high-end smartwatch at a fraction of its usual price is available. However, time is of the essence, as this offer will be gone by Monday.
As part of its Super Sunday promotion , Boots has slashed prices on a variety of products for a very limited period. Among the standout bargains is the Garmin Venu 2 Smartwatch, typically retailing at £350 but currently available for just under £190 . This piece of wearable technology is perfect for those looking to monitor various different health metrics .
Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the array of built-in workout modes – from running and cycling to swimming and golf – that help keep tabs on their performance. Beyond physical activity, the smartwatch offers stress tracking with prompts for brief breathing exercises and provides insights into your sleep quality . It even adapts to your lifestyle by setting an automatic daily hydration goal that adjusts based on sweat levels during workouts.
The Garmin Venu 2 goes beyond typical fitness features, incorporating women's health tracking systems that allow menstrual cycle and pregnancy monitoring through the Garmin app. With a battery life boasting "up to 11 days" of use, buyers can explore all the functionalities packed into this device.

On Amazon, the watch has received numerous positive reviews, with one customer hailing it as "superior in every way". One customer said: "The Garmin Venu 2 is perfect. I've owned it for over a week and I've only just had to charge it.
Honestly I don't know how it's able to do everything it does and have that amount of battery life. 10 days with normal use is insane!" Another user wrote: "Battery life on Garmins is always excellent, and this is no exception. Running or biking 3/4 times a week, I'm only having to charge once a week, and feel like this could last forever.
" A first-time Garmin owner shared: "I've had this watch for around 4 weeks now. Previously, I have owned a Fitbit and Wear OS watch, and if I'm honest, I'm gutted it took me this long to discover Garmin watches. It is far superior in every way to those watches.
" A fourth reviewer added: "I bought this watch to replace my Apple Watch series 3 (screen cracked). I am usually very reluctant to stray from Apple products, but I was struggling to justify the cost of the newest Apple watches. However this Garmin Venu 2 is easily the best smart device I own.
Looks stylish and it is very comfortable to wear, especially to bed! I was worried it would be too big and uncomfortable to sleep with but it is surprisingly comfortable." Shoppers praised the Garmin watch that has battery life which 'could last forever' (Image: Garmin) However, not all reviews were glowing. One buyer claimed: "I bought this product recently and it crashes 2-3 times per week.
Its general functionality i.e. GPS, step count, notifications etc.
is pretty decent but the fact it crashes so often is really annoying." Another warned: "Bought due to battery life reviews and Garmin's reputation for rugged watches. Watch is very easily scuffed and it does not warn when the battery is low just appears dead on wrist.
Very disappointed!" Boots has introduced a new online-only event, Super Sunday promotion, which will take place every first Sunday of the month - with the next opportunity falling on April 6. The concept is similar to the weekly £10 Tuesday deal, where offers are valid for one day only. For those seeking alternatives, there are plenty of other smartwatches available on the market.
Amazon offers the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) for £189, which can be personalised in terms of size and style with various bands . Meanwhile, Currys provides the Fitbit Versa 4 Smart Watch for a mere £179 . Google describes this watch as so thin and lightweight that "you'll barely notice you're wearing it", making it suitable for both everyday wear and workout sessions.
