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

Great upgrade for Garmin fitness band wearers
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.

DIABETIC? This watch is the bomb. Does Dexcom CGM well but needs tweaks
I did a TON of research to find a smartwatch with great battery life and the ability to show my blood sugar continuously with regular updates. Has another eatch on order but cancelled it when I saw this one.My watchface is a Connect IQ store download from bruder_jakob (4.7 rating) which needs you to change settings until you see the face you like. Took a while to get that as I like it. TIPS: Ensure right at the top you switch Libre to Dexcom first. When changing setting on this face, DO NOT add any values to second bottom set of GRAPH values. Only add values to the TOP default graph showing at the top as you go down the settings. Otherwise you will end up with two graphs and place for nothing else as the top. This face is intended for a round face watch, so use 24 hour time setting otherwise time looks odd. Do not insert values Bottom Left, Bottom Right and use ONLY the Very Bottom value to display the CGM value. The refresh rate of this watchface is a bit slow sometimes but if I see the refresh since last update has been a while, I would just press the top right , press on the DexcomWidget discussed next and see the screen om the right hand pic.The DexcomWidget was a Dexcom Garmin standard download (2 rating) but works fine for me and I think those with issues most likely have phone setting issues rather than watch app issues.I would suggest you restart your phone your Dexcom app is on and the watch once you have your settings as you like it. This might sound strange, but I delete the ConnectIQ store once done with watchface settings, as it is as if the store app interferes with the updates from the phone. Maybe not true for you but definitely from the Google Pixel 4a5G phone I use.I hope you get your CGM setup sorted. It is absolutely worth it. Especially at night when you don’t want to pick up your phone and light up the whole room to check your blood sugar. I hope this review will help some of you.1 Star drop > The sleep tracker is disappointingly slow to display in the morning. My 4 year old $40 TJINGCHONGCHA still working perfectly watch does a better job. The freeware VeryFitPro app that came with this cheap watch leaves the Garmin Connect IQ app in the dust in many ways. Garmin your Connect IQ app is not up to scratch.

A purchase your self will thank you for…
Previously, I bought only Fitbits, but then I stumbled upon Garmin, and bought a Lily. I’ve since had a Venu 3S and now this watch.In my opinion, Garmin lasts much longer than Fitbits do. Plus, the features are better, and the battery life longer. You do not have to pay for any services either. Or worry about your warranty and a replacement when something happens. Garmin watches actually last….I bought myself this watch because I liked the interface was larger than my 3S. The band is also comfortable and doesn’t irritate my wrist. I liked it so much I bought one for my daughter who was wearing my Lily, and she loves it too. I couldn’t wait for Christmas and she got it early!Garmin is a good investment in your health. The watches are a bit more expensive than a Fitbit, but it is worth it.

Never knew you could get so much for so little. Bought these 40% off for Christmas, never had a smart watch before and a year later could not think I could go without. The health tracking alone. The battery, after a year of use can get about 10-12 days out of it which is still far beyond other watches. The music option as well, really all phenomenal stuff. If you can get one, on sale or not, totally would recommend. The square watch looks great, and the pictures on the garmin website are to size should you want to print to see how it fits.

Es un muy producto, tiene muchas funcionalidades para hacer ejercicio y monitoreo de salud, frecuencia cardíaca, pasos, etc. La batería le dura mucho tiempo y el modelo se ve super bien.

I like the colour and design. The battery lasts long as described
