I would say if you're looking for a decent mix of smartwatch and fitness features this would be a good buy. Venu 2 if you want the latest and greatest, but you get 95% of the functionality with the 1.
Don't get a Samsung or Apple. Crap battery life. Your other options are Fitbit which has walled off some of the fitness features behind a paywall. For more fitness oriented watches try Coros, Polar and Suunto, but Coros Pace 2 seems to be the best in this price range (save for the build materials).
From what I've seen Garmin is the best option if you want to get some sort of hybrid smartwatch/fitness tracker. They've also been in the game for a long time and generally know what they are doing.
Garmin is also seeking FDA approval for ECG functionality, but it remains to be seen how they'll leverage that when it comes. I am looking forward to seeing what happens!

Agreed on all points. Anyone who has a tighter budget can snag a used or pre owned Venu on eBay for about $70 or so less. That's what I did a day or so ago.

Love the screen
Love that it's not huge (falls in the middle of women's and men's sizes)
Music feature works great
Never take it off except to charge every 4-6 days.

Is this true? I see mp3s listed in the Q&A section.. but people give different answers. What about Amazon music without subscription? Anybody know for sure?

That what I wanted; offline storage to play mp3 songs from Kazaa, Napster, limewire, and such
This is what I own and love it. Recommendation: get a screen protector, though! Mine is a little scratched now because I failed to do that.
