Garmin Venu SQ 2 Smartwatch Boasts Eleven Days of Tracking That Actually Fits Real Life

The Garmin Venu SQ 2 smartwatch, priced at $149.99 (was $250), is designed to feature an uncluttered square-shaped display instead of those that bombard you with excessive information. The watch is lightweight at just 38 grams and can fit wrist sizes between 125 mm to 190 mm. The watch’s housing is made of reinforced plastic, while its strap is made of silicone material.

Its 1.4-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 320 x 360 pixels. This ensures that you can see the screen clearly even when out on a bright day. The colors are as vivid as expected, and there is no need for you to find any buttons since the screen responds so quickly. The device also recognizes wrist movements, ensuring that you remain active during your exercise.

he battery life of this watch is quite impressive: it can go up to 11 days when using the smartwatch mode and up to 12 days with power saving, and this applies when using GPS. Hence, even if you are tracking all your running sessions and workouts, you will enjoy 20 hours in normal settings and 26 hours while using the satellite systems at max setting, but most users have managed around 9 days.

With the Venu Sq 2 watch, there is continuous heart rate monitoring thanks to the fourth-gen optical heart rate monitoring sensor of the watch. It performs quite well when it comes to heart rate monitoring even during your exercise sessions. No matter whether you are going for a stroll, a run, cycling, or hiking, the GPS will capture your location instantly (less than one second) and store all the details you would need, such as the distance covered, speed, elevation, among others, without connecting it to your phone. You can also monitor your blood oxygen, respiration rate, stress level, and body battery score with just one touch.

It comes with more than 25 sports modes to choose from, such as strength training, golfing, swimming, and yoga. The sleep tracking feature gives you a daily score consisting of the hours slept, sleep stages, and overall sleep quality. In case you are not interested in a detailed overview of your health status, just hit one button and instantly get notified about your heart rate variability, stress level, oxygen content, and much more. The most impressive thing about it is that it is compatible with both iPhones and Android phones, meaning that you can easily sync all your data to the Garmin Connect application and monitor your achievements on a map.
