I actually really like the look of this watch. I love the all black. I just bought this watch and it does exactly what I personally am looking for in a fitness watch. I'm not a serious athlete I'm just looking for something to track my walks and track my heart rate.

You are whinging about the worst possible things. It's a watch not a portable music device. Get over it

The $50 difference isn't a bad thing. I see it, not as paying $50 extra for the music storage, but saving $50 by not having all that extra storage that I personally would never use. It's a nice option. Also, you mention that other watches offer this storage for free. That isn't the case as they definitely have that worked into the price. They're not giving anything for free.

They don't tell you that the design is ugly and that the screen is small...? Shock!

Thanks for your honesty!

think about a lapel mic pls.... the audio at times is much worse than the worst feature of SQ2 you're reviewing;)

Check the value for money proposition. You can’t get everything at this price point and more so this is a fitness-oriented gadget - not a fashion accessory.

I have had a Garmin Venu sq 2 for a few weeks now, and it does not track heart rate data accurately. After playing basketball for 30 minutes, my heart rate never went above 105 bpm, even though I was hypoxic. After leaving the court, my heart rate shot up to 140. When I run on the treadmill, it seems to track okay. Doing HIIT exercises does not result in accurate tracking. It will also give me a move alert while I am at the driving range, hitting a golf ball every 30 seconds or less. I am disappointed in the accuracy so far. I had a Fitbit Versa 2 that seemed to track heart rate with more precision. The Garmin battery life is outstanding. It will last for a week on one charge. This review talks about things that have little to do with fitness tracking. Looks, music, watch navigation are not a priority with fitness users.

It's a £120 watch, of course it not going to be equivalant to the apple watch that is 3-4 times the price. It is by far best value for money

I don't disagree with your points, but its still a lot of smart watch for $250USD.

Looks like Apple Watch to me.. I just ordered this exact watch instead of round version Venu 2 Plus, as I actually like the small size square design the best: It’ll be unobtrusive and out of sight. I wanted Apple Watch 8, but measly battery life is deal-breaker and Ultra is just too bulky.

The Apple Watch Ultra has not same battery life not even while tracking. and it 5 times the price.

Whats the name of the watch face you have

thanks for this

I have this watch in white and i quite like it

I bought one of these as a small cheap tracker for normal daily / work use, I have a more expensive large Garmin watch for MTB use, it’s far too bulky for use at work and wouldn’t want to damage it while working. This guy has totally missed the point of what this watch offers for a low price, if he wants a bigger Venu 2 there are other models available

what would you recommend for about the same money?

Have you looked at Coros at all? The Apex and Pace2 are very capable

​@@WesKnows The watch looks just like the Apple watch if the screen is blank so nothing wrong in the design. And how a watch looks like is highly subjective, so not really worth talking about. I don't own this watch but will probably get it because my last Garmin got damaged. I have compared Apple watch, Coros Pace 3, Garmin Forerunner 55, 255, Instinct 2 and this looks like the best deal right now when one can get the music version for about 200 in some places. Coros Pace was the other option, but lacks in the healt tracking department so will go with one of the Garmins for sure.

... straight to the problems ... like that has to pe the real reviews

You said the truth. Thank you for the review. I am a garmin user by the way.

The best review I saw about this smartwatch. Thanks.

Venu SQ2 UI verry sluggish compared to cheap Huawei Watch Fit 2
