Most Popular Features
There are thousands of fitness trackers and smartwatches out there on the market today. So what makes the Garmin Venu Sq so popular?
Price
This is the first high-spec fitness watch with such a comprehensive suite of features, with an entry-level price tag. You get the famous Garmin watch quality and the majority of the features of the more expensive Garmin fitness watches for a more affordable price.
Smart Watch Design
The rectangle-shaped display exhibits a more modern and minimalist smartwatch look compared to the traditional round face sports watch style of the other models in the Venu range. This is perfect for those who aren't fond of the typical sports watch look and want something a little similar to the Apple watch style but with the great Garmin features.
Long Battery Life
Forgetting to charge your fitness watch can cause a speed bump in your progress, it's happened to us all. With an impressive 6 days of battery life from a single charge, you don't need to charge it as often as other fitness watches.
Option To Upgrade
Some people want all their favourite music on their fitness watch, others prefer to have it stored on their mobile device instead. Garmin has cleverly given you the option to choose. The Venu Sq connects to your device via Bluetooth, or you can upgrade to the music edition to be able to store up to 500 songs from your music provider via WiFi connection.
How Does It Differ From The Venu 2?
The predecessor of the Garmin Venu 2, the Sq is the cheaper slimline version with almost the same Garmin watch specs.
Cost
With a difference of more than AUD 300, the Garmin Venu Sq is the more affordable model. Of course, which one you go for depends on your budget and specification preferences.
Music Storage
The minimalistic Sq has the option to connect to your mobile device via Bluetooth to play your music. Whereas the Venu 2 connects to your music provider via WiFi and can store up to 2000 songs.
Display
Both models have great quality colour liquid crystal displays. With a more expensive model like the Venu 2, you get a higher resolution display. Although the screen is 3mm smaller than the Sq. The Venu 2 is also round and the Sq rectangular.
Battery Life
The Sq beats the Venu 2 in battery life by one whole day with 6 days battery life from one charge compared to Venu 2's 5 days. Both models have a 14-hour battery life when GPS is running.
Owning a Garmin Venu Sq

Owning a Garmin Venu Sq will certainly get you motivated to move more and give you a feeling of excitement as you explore your new piece of wearable fitness tech.
Track Your Progress

Enjoy Working Out
Exercise is easier when it's fun! The Garmin Venu Sq provides you with enjoyable cardio, yoga, pilates, and strength workouts. You can also enjoy and track your favourite active hobbies or try new ones such as skiing, golf, running, stand-up paddleboarding, cycling, and rowing.
Link up with your friends or via the Garmin connect app and whether you work out together or not, you can support each other and keep each other motivated. You can even get customised workouts from your Garmin coach and helpful articles and videos.
Personalised Comfort
One of the best features is the option to personalise your Sq. It is available in three colour options to suit your style. Choose from metallic orchid purple, slate with shadow grey, and light gold with white.
They all come with a silicone wristband as standard. However, there is a stunning selection of Garmin Venu Sq bands and accessories to choose from to give your fitness watch a personal touch with ultimate comfort.
Get Motivated With the Garmin Venu Sq
You may have used a fitness tracker before but gave up on it because it was too much hassle to charge so often or it wasn't waterproof or it wasn't accurate enough.
