Reply to comment by rendrr in Garmin adds FDA-cleared EKGs to its Venu 2 Plus smartwatch | Garmin is shoring up its lifestyle offerings by adding this advanced health feature to its smartest device. by chrisdh79

This is the first time that I've heard of this brand of watch... I was looking for an Apple-Watch-style ECG-capable watch that would actually support Android and not be a complete joke for heart monitoring features.

Can I ask, how does the watch charge? Cable? Cradle?

Do you have to take it off in the tub/shower?

This is a cool looking device.

Yes, it charges with a cradle via contact pins.

It is water resistant (50m), it's okay to shower with it. I did it many times.

Unfortunately, I can't make an assessment of it's EKG function, cause I'm not a medical professional.
