Garmin Venu SQ came in with a bang in September! Costing way cheaper than it’s multi sport siblings and absolutely destroying sporty smartwatches in terms of smarts, sports, health and battery life! For £180 or $200 you get a lot!
The Venu SQ is technically a cut down version of an existing model - the Garmin Venu. Some cut corners had to be made to reduce the price and keep the original Venu as the flagship of the 2.
The biggest change hit the face of the watch.. the SQ features a 1.3” LCD panel, bye bye AMOLED… we lost the barometric altimeter, a GPS one is used now.. Garmin removed the gyro sensors, the live watch faces and generally made it more simple. I can say that if you’re not a pro athlete you won’t notice any difference except for the LCD vs AMOLED screen!

My only complaint is the GPS. Sometimes it just won't find a signal at all. Somtimes it takes 10 mins. Pity
How continuous is the HR readings? For example, does it take measurements every 5 sec, 1min, 5min, etc?
@WesKnows
3 жыл бұрын
Garmin varies it’s HR sampling rate based on intensity. Meaning during sleep its a longer interval between readings than when working out. The exact freq is not specified in the instructions manual. But considering the budget brand Huawei and Honor do 10min when sleeping, once per second when doing a workout.. Garmin most likely does that as well.. considering IT IS the trend setter😉

Does this watch feels n looks cheap since it’s plastic? Which do u think it’s better between this n galaxy watch s3?

Hi Bruce! I am a fan of Garmin tech and revolutionary research.. since all Garmin wearables are deeply integrated into the Garmin Ecosystem it’s not just the lloks you’re buying but a Garmin experience.. and no, I don’t think the Venu SQ looks cheap.. it looks functional 🧐 considering it’s multi sport potential, battery life and clinical accuracy- in my mind it’s not a like 4 like with the Samsung Galaxy Watch. The latter is an advanced smartwatch with a different purpose and featurelist. If you are after a serious sports watch for a budget price, the Venu SQ is your best bet💪

STAY AWAY. The Venu SQ has been nothing but a pairing nightmare for us! We pair works for a while then needs to be paired again which turns into a marathon day of frustration getting it to pair! hate it hate it hate it!! never again!
