in just a second another difference is the waterproofing in the case of epics it's up to NUMBER_TOKEN meters versus the case of the venue NUMBER_TOKEN plus it's NUMBER_TOKEN meters though both are perfectly fine for swimming in fact they both have swimming modes in the watches and then lastly from a weight standpoint the epics is heavier at NUMBER_TOKEN grams versus the venue NUMBER_TOKEN plus is NUMBER_TOKEN grams now this next category is so vast it's hard to comprehend how different they are and that is mapping in the case of epics it has full-blown maps on it so maps with popularity routing or basically heat maps on it you can see where you are you can see the trails the topography all that is there ski areas etc in the case of the venue NUMBER_TOKEN plus it it doesn't have any mapping at all and of course that immediately gets into the routing and navigation side of things the epics can pull in routes so you can actually follow a route as you go along whether it be from a third-party provider like commute or strava or routes that you make yourself on garment connect you can also go ahead and overlay things like climb pro to see how much elevation you have left at the top of a climb and if you're traveling or something else you can even ask the watch to give you random routes of a given distance or duration or direction just as a place to go and run for NUMBER_TOKENk or NUMBER_TOKENk or ride for even NUMBER_TOKEN or NUMBER_TOKENk the venue has none of that the only thing that the venue NUMBER_TOKEN has in terms of navigation is simply the ability to save a location that you've been to so at the start of a run or your house whatever the case may be and then go to navigate and point to that direction it then gives you an arrow in that direction but if there's like a lake in front of you or no roads or anything like that you've got to figure that out yourself it's just as the crow flies your point is over there now the one thing you could do on the venue NUMBER_TOKEN to sort of like stop gap a little bit is to load one of the different connect iq apps up there uh dynamic watch or dw map is one that does really basic course routing that could be an option to kind of fill that gap a little bit if you don't need all the advanced routing but just want to be able to follow a single trail speaking of following by the way now is a great time to walk that like button or hit the subscribe button both of those really help out this video and the channel quite a bit next we have something that the venue NUMBER_TOKEN plus has that the epics does not which is a speaker and a microphone in the case of the epics that has a beeper so it'll make little chirps and things like that when you go off course or notifications but it can't actually like sing you a song or can't talk to you whereas the venue NUMBER_TOKEN plus can the venue NUMBER_TOKEN plus can play music directly using that speaker it also allows you to take calls on the watch as long as your phone is nearby now neither watch has lte in it so both are gonna depend on your phone for things like making calls or receiving calls but with the venue two plus you can do that all from your wrist because that speaker and the microphone and that speaker microphone quality is actually pretty decent it's not like you know bose fancy sound quality but it's pretty much good enough for day to day usage the next feature
START_INTERACTION_TOKEN speaking of following by the way now is a great time to walk that like button or hit the subscribe button both of those really help out this video and the channel quite a bit END_INTERACTION_TOKEN
