Description

Garmin Venu Sq Full Specifications and Features – Garmin has released the Venu Sq a lower-end version of Venu that was released last year. It lacks an AMOLED display, onscreen animated workouts, and can’t count floors which are all present on Venu. Although Venu Sq is a decent smartwatch that’s lightweight and comes with music storage, Garmin Pay, lots of fitness tracking features, and has a slightly longer battery life and bigger display than Venu.

Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen which is touch-sensitive alongside two physical buttons for easy navigation. It has a 1.3 inches LCD display that is not so colorful as AMOLED, but vivid and can easily be read outdoors.

Fitness tracking features of Venu Sq include blood oxygen tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, hearing protection, respiration tracking, menstrual cycle tracking, underwater heart rate monitoring, and incidental fall detection. It has lots of preset workout modes to choose from and has inbuilt GPS for outdoor activity tracking.

The Venu Sq comes with music storage and streaming features that allow you to listen to your favorite tracks directly from the watch. It also has Garmin Pay that allows you to make payments from the watch.

The battery life of Venu Sq can keep you going for up to 6 days with smartwatch mode and about 14 hours with continuous GPS tracking.
