Venu Sq 2 GPS Smartwatch, All-Day Health Monitoring, Long-Lasting Battery Life, AMOLED Display, Slate and Shadow Gray

Why you should buy? - Excellent Fitness tracking - GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth - Spotify (in Music Edition): Go on runs, with music on and forget about holding or carrying a mobile. - Excellent Mobile App (And website and desktop too) where you can access all stats - Excellent Support by other third-party fitness/workout/running apps like Nike Run Club and Strava ( Just go on a run and get the record in all your apps automatically) - Battery life (11 days with smartphone mode, actually delivers that) Buying a Apple would make you charge it everyday but for Garmin get better accuracy and forget about charging. Why not to buy? - Small Screen - If you need a full fledge smartwatch where you need all other non-sports third-party application support too. (Get an apple watch in that case or some android based) - Battery Backup is 7-8 hours if you keep GPS on (with active tracking some activity) and keep playing music non-stop. (Not really a con as you will never workout or run for 7-8 hours.) - If you don't want to experience the awesomeness.

Its been few days product is good as compare to costing and efficiant as well. Battery life is also good, its touch screen functionality.

After about 2 years, the battery just died. It won't even charge. Per Garmin, there is no way to replace the battery. This is a bad experience. But till the watch was functional, it was excellent.

Just from 11th day of receipt of this watch, it started giving wrong readings. After 150 intense jumping jacks, it was giving a reading ~65 and on the two Oximeters, the reading were ~145. This affects the intensity minutes, too. Even its stress monitor is terrible. Very erratic. However, the sleep monitor and GPS are accurate. But with such terrible heart sensor, the watch is utterly useless. I have updated the firmware and yet no change in its accuracy. And this is not a one-off. Persistently it has given incorrect readings, and now it seems, I have wasted my money. I tried contacting Amazon, but no help. I am yet to receive a response from Garmin India. I am writing this review after nearly 45 days of use. It jeopardizes the whole workout and weekly plans and is very demotivating.

I have recently switched to Garmin Venu Sq2 from Fitbit Versa 4. For the last 10 days I have been wearing both the watches. During my runs I have noticed that Garmin heart rate is consistently lower than my Fitbit by 50-70 bpm. I am very sure of Fitbits accuracy and consistency as I have verified it with other references many times. But Garmin is very inconsistent. during my last 5 k run, the Garmin was about 55 bpm lower than Fitbit for the first 3 km or so and suddenly in the middle of the run it jumped from 118 bpm to 170 bpm without any intervention from me, this 170 was closely matching the Fitbit. This is very bad and disappointing because heart rate accuracy and consistency is the most important feature of a sports watch! P.S: The only reason I switched from Fitbit (after 9 years) is it seems Google is phasing out Fitbit app as well as its watches to push Googles own pixel smart watches.

Does not track sleep properly. Your naps are not taken into account. Whats the point of body battery scores ? The night sleep tracking is also faulty. Go for a Samsung galaxy fit 3. Much cheaper, does the job of a daily tracker . This is an overkill for a normal person working out in the gym or at the ground. You spend on a Garmin , only if you go treking or do an outdoor sport of a similar sort .

Till dt working good Bty life approx 5 days as android type but 4 d with 6-7 apps running in watch. Watch faces can be uploaded. Music need wifi upload

Pros- -Highly accurate Heart Tracker and GPS. -Ability to control music from the watch interface. -Different exercise and sports mode for running, jogging, swimming etc. -On a single charge - the watch will last for 5 days atleast. - App is user friendly and provides in-depth info. Cons - - Not a smart watch like Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, or Apple watches. - Watch UI feels a bit older than Apple or Samsung UI - Display quality slightly lower than watches of the same price.
