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

I read a lot of reviews about problems with Garmin to measure sleep cycles -- all false ! it is a very good device that gives correct sleep measure and I am enjoying it after having Fitbit for 8 years ! Ever since Google got Fitbit, it did everything it could to destroy it. Garmin is wonderful with its additional features such as Coach Plans and super good GPS that connects in no time. Heart rate is real time. I am a very critiquing person who is generally agnostic to things/views. But this device totally won my heart !

I’ve been using this watch for a little over 6 months now, and it fits my needs perfectly. It’s a very sleek design and matches with all outfits. I am a distance runner, and honestly this watch has been my best investment so far. The battery life is so long, allowing me to go days without charging it, and when I do need to charge it, it charges very quickly. It’s very easy to use and has a lot of helpful functions. I love being able to customize my watch face as well to match what I’m wearing. Matched with the garmin app, this watch is perfect for anyone who wants to have a watch with both functionality and good design. It’s also very durable, as I’ve dropped it so many times and bumped it into many things and it still stands strong.

This watch/fitness tracker is working very good. It tracks outdoor exercise via GPS very accurately. There are several functions more than what i plan to use. I have personalized the face and can switch easily between the personalized and standard faces. Battery life is amazing and quick to recharge when needed. The band was ok but didn't fit my wrist as i wanted so got these (B0DF2L935T) set of 3 stretch bands. they fit perfectly and are adjustable. dry quickly if they get wet (shower). Face is very easy to read in all light. you can set quiet hours and the watchface does not automatically come on if you move in your sleep. can still quickly access the face with the bottom button. Highly recommend

I really like this watch. I like the way it looks, I like the way the buttons feel when you click them, I like the battery life. I bought the little silicone covers that prevent sweat from getting into the charging pins. I definitely recommend getting a pack of those. I think the bezel is a little large, but it doesn't take away from the watch's great display.Garmin's software is pretty good too. Garmin Connect makes it easy to track my weight, hydration, sleep, and exercise. I have used the walking, running, treadmill running, cycling, and weightlifting modes. All of them provide good metrics to help you track your performance in real time.One thing I do not like is how easy it is to scratch the watch face. In the first day or two I already had several micro scratches. I bought two screen protectors but they drastically lower the responsiveness of the touch screen and if you get any water under the covers, like if you're sweating, swimming, or even just washing your hands, then the touch screen becomes very wonky.Overall I like it, but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend until they are fully informed about the display.

So far it is doing a good job of recording gps rides, walks, texts& calls for 5 days. Very good according to Garmin !! see belowGarmin- AI Overview:The Garmin Venu Sq 2's battery life in GPS mode is up to 26 hours, according to Garmin. In smartwatch mode, it can last up to 11 days.

Great smartwatch with incredible battery life.

Got this brand new model because my Vivosmart 4 watch band finally broke. I didn't really want to go back to a watch form factor after wearing bands for many years. But this one is super light weight and I can wear it anywhere, even in the water. The battery lasts for days. You can download the Connect IQ app and customize the watch, including adding new features and faces. Interestingly, you can create a custom face in both the IQ app, and on the watch itself, although the options are not the same and results are not consistent.Pros:- Great screen, highly visible in varying light- Good battery life. Much better than the old vivosmart 4, seems like at least a week.- GPS - seems to work well enough on walks/runs I've done.- Nice selection of exercises built in. I've only used walk/run/swim so far. The app has been trying to get me to upload personalized running plans and workouts. Just haven't got to that yet either.- User interface is _mostly_ easy to use, once you figure it out.Cons- Extra info on faces (steps, heartbeat etc), and user interface has very small fonts. It's not a big device after all. But those of us who can't focus up close have a hard time seeing the small things without the glasses- Another weird charger connector. Next version should be able to charge wirelessly. Those other guys do it.- The included band is pretty utilitarian and I already see wear around where the buckle rubs on it. At least it's replaceable with standard sized bands.Overall I am happy with this watch so far.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good integrated GPS, useful functionalities, nice design
