Been looking for a decent deal for a while for the Venu 2, next best I could find was Amazon at ~$496 which is UK Import, so non-AU warranty.
TGG Commercial is required, I think the Your Salary Benefits portal got torpedoed, good luck!

Bought this watch off eBay during Afterpay day for about the same price and have been using it for the last 3 months.
Overall a solid watch, touch screen is responsive just like a smartphone (no issues with it yet). Battery lasts around 5-6 days on full charge, 3-4 days with pulse ox on but fully charges in an hour.
Though the biggest gripe for me is the lack of good screen protectors because of its curved edges (either you get full coverage screen protector that falls off in a few weeks or one that covers only the flat surface and leaves the edges exposed). I've been using a custom-made nano glass screen protector (flat surface coverage) from Screenshield AU and it's been doing really well so far.
If you're doing any labour work though, I would recommend the soft protective cases for Venu 2 on eBay; does not affect screen responsiveness and have avoided potential damage to screen, but doesn't look nice and sometimes falls off if you hit on the side.
Though if you don't want to deal with the hassle and don't mind a non-touch screen display, I would probably go with the Fenix 6 or any smartwatch with a flat screen display.TL;DR: Solid watch, touch screen responsive, battery lasts 5-6 days with 1 hour to fully charge, not many good screen protector options.
Best deal I can find for this watch is Bupa has 20% off Garmin products through the official Garmin store taking it to $440.30 with free shipping. But of course you need to be a member to take advantage, and there is a note that they are currently experiencing delivery delays of up to four weeks.
Was ready to buy when I noted that 'delivery delay' warning. Hoping a Rebel or JB can offer a similar price this week.
I ordered one on Friday and just received notice it was posted today. No delivery delay for me.
I had no idea there was a 2 now. I've had the first for a couple of years now and its been well worth the cash.
