Wonderful smart watch

Like the size of face can read email nicely. Volume on my Pandora radio stations. Good information on myself. It is very attractive.

Beautiful watch!

Loved the watch when it worked. After about 9 days,it decided to stop working. Returned. Even thought it did not work out for me, it has excellent features. Very disappointed it didn't work for me.

Absolutely love this watch.

I recently received this watch as a Father's Day gift and I have been highly satisfied with its functionality. The sleep tracking and body battery features have been particularly useful for monitoring my results and recovery. I also find the workout feature helpful for keeping tabs on my exercise data. I would wholeheartedly recommend this watch for everyday use and for tracking training routines.

Great product and even greater warranty

I bought my first Venu Sq in early 2022. This year, the touch screen stopped working. I called Garmin Support and verified that this was known anomaly, and the watch was replaced, free of charge. I will be a lifetime user of Garmin watches.

VenuSq review

I'm very disappointed in the extremely weak vibration alert for notifications. Best Buy exchanged the first watch because, even they, could hardly detect a vibration. The replacement watch, unfortunately, is not much better. My old vivoSmart has a much stronger signal. Good features but I'm afraid I'll miss important notifications.

Hate this watch

It is the most complex watch to try and incorporate the various apps for music, exercise routines and history thereon. If I could get my money back I would do it in a nanosecond. The watch doesn't easily sync with needed apps and features. You need to be a programmer particularly if you want to use multiple features. Buy an Apple Watch.

Great features!

I bought the Venu Sq, for my girlfriend and, she is very happy with it. Also, she goes to walk every day to measure the time and miles, on her watch!

Nice watch

I bought this as a step up from my fit bit. I like the emphasis on activities. The GPS feature is great. It's definitely more accurate than my fit bit. I like that it is waterproof. I wish there was an interval or hit activity that you could customize the intervals on the strength.

I love having a Smartwatch

I like the features that connect my watch to my phone. I love getting notification on my watch. I like that the time is easy to read. I like that I can access heart rate, calories, steps and other information quickly.

Useful in tracking walking miles and heart rate.

It was a gift from my son-in-law. I find it useful in keeping track of my walking miles, heart rate and respirations. . The learning curve was a bit difficult.

Only a couple of glitches

My Venu sq has been great. The only problem I have is that sometimes the screen blacks out for a minute. This only happens maybe once a month,(that's stretching it) and it last max 2min. Otherwise, it is a great watch and I highly recommend it. If you've ever had an Apple Watch, the screen isn't as sensitive as that. I love that you can get and read your messages from it as well. The activity tracking is accurate, and the steps are more accurate than a Fitbit.

Quality Sportwatch

I am slowly learning to use this watch but I love it more every day. I wish the manual were printable and simpler, it has been a slow learning process for me.

good for price

Overall decent..face was a little small for me..the wrist band loop hold-down broke, which was unfortunate on a running watch..i glued it several times.....biggest complaints: the charging cable stopped working consistently, and the new Garmin Express s/w release no longer recognized it........now I know to keep the contacts cleaner...the s/w issue disappointed me...but they were helpful about the cable and cleaning suggestions.....I decided to try a forerunner 265, and this thing is incredible...so I'm grateful to Garmin.....

features hard to utilize

Dont like the requirement of giving garmin access to all your information. on the app on your phone. appears you must give garmin total access .feel there is no reason to have this data.only thing important is your location to get your weather'

Detest new software

One of the reasons I have kept with Garmin is because I liked the software that downloads but DO NOT like the new software. It is a little too fancy for what I need but I really use the notification. The sleep portion is not at all accurate and sometimes the body battery.

Nice update

I replaced my Forerunner 55 with the Venu sq. The touchscreen upgrade is nice to have, as well as the added workout types for tracking activity. It's lightweight and user friendly/intuitive. I'm happy I upgraded. However, there have been days that the touchscreen is not responsive, and there was a strength workout I was in the middle of, and the watch just went black - I was unable to power down or do any of the online tutorial steps to remedy. If this happens again, I'll consider looking into a warranty swap, or another model. Otherwise, happy with this model!

good watch, but would not buy again

The watch is comfortable and does a great job with activity tracking, serving as an alarm, tracking sleep, etc. The only complaint I have is that the memory on the watch is not always sufficient to allow for the scheduled updates from Garmin. I often have to call the support service to get the updates to take correctly, and the watch doesn't work properly when updates are required/needed. While I love the watch otherwise, I would not buy it again due to this memory issue as it is very inconvenient.

Okay

It started out great and seemed really accurate as I was comparing with tracks at the outside school track but as days and months went by it lost its accuracy by a lot. I'd run 20 laps around a 1/10 mile track and it would only show 1.5 miles total so I have quit wearing it . Nothing I do seems to make it's accuracy rate go up so I may go back to FitBit

Not user friendly

I am having a hard time programming. For example I can't get my heart rate and distance to show up when I'm biking.

For the price, kind of disappointed?

1. Watch does not use the full real estate of the screen for data, which seems kind of a waste 2. Watch face sensitivity is very frustrating, several attempts to do one thing and the screen just doesn't really pick up the touch that it should, so scrolling through your features and options on your watch, which is what you're using a fitness Smart watch for is much more of a hassle than it's worth. I wind up, going to the app and looking at my stats which takes forever to sync and update your stats. 3. Setting the watch face selection should be much simpler, but can be very frustrating due to the touch lack of sensitivity and syncing with The app, installation, and settings selection for the watch faces, entry of information, etc. 4. Also for the price you should be able to answer your phone and talk to and through your watch. Even the cheaper brands for 30 bucks on Amazon can answer your phone and text and through social media. This one you can answer, but then it only picks up your phone and then you have to talk on your phone. It just seems very limited for the price you pay.

Good Battery Life!

I've had my watch for a while now, and have been very happy with it. Still learning some of the features. It recently became un-synced, and I had a heckuva time re-syncing it. . But other than that, I've been very happy with it. It holds a charge for several days, which is a MUST for me. And I can swim and shower with it on, which is also crucial. I've become pretty dependent on it for text notifications, etc. And as I sleep with it on, I'm glad that I can "turn it off" during my sleeping hours. Very happy with it!!

Perfect Watch for Me

I purchased my Venu Sq a couple of weeks ago, and so far I am really happy with it. The only thing I wish would have been better, would be for this particular model be in a different color other than white. I did purchase a different color of band as white is hard to keep clean. It is really a great watch for me and is really easy to use, I love the touch screen and the easy process to start the tracking for activities. It has a great size screen and easy to read, and getting my text messages that are readible is great. I had a Vivosmart 4, which the band broke on and could not be replaced, this Venu Sq is such a step up.

Replacement for Fitbit

This watch is replacing a Fitbit which was less than dependable. So far this watch is appearing to be heads above the Fitbit although it is not quite as intuitive, but that is made up with its accuracy and dependability.

Very happy with my watch!!

I have had it for three weeks now, and compared to my doctors readings this is very accurate. I did buy a different band. The rubber bands are uncomfortable to me. Other than that, love this watch!!!

Garmin venu sq

Overall I like it. I do have several issues: 1- It doesn't always sync. And I'm not totally sure why I need to fix that all the time.(Or how to do it) 2- When I do a "walk" program the final "report" doesn't log the number of steps. 3- When I "walk" outdoors I don't always see the map of where I walked
