    Great watch for fitness! It’s durable, has a long charge (around a week) and all of the heath features are awesome! It’s also comfortable and lightweight!

    Great fitness tracker smart watch- great battery

    I switched from the fitbit universe when the new Sense 2 came out with fewer features than the Sense1. The battery life on my Sense had become unbearable. I also resented the need for an annual subscription to Premium to get some of my health data. The battery on the Venu SQ2 is amazing and the health and activity stats on the Garmin app and website are, clear,helpful and thorough. I choose the Venu SQ 2 version I find the square face much easier to read. It linked quickly with my pixel and I get all of my notifications and texts on my watch.It's very comfortable to wear and the battery life is amazing. I like that Garmin lets you input your blood pressure readings manually on the app too - it's so much easier to keep all of my health stats in one place.

    Venu SQ2, Not the best Garmin Model

    This is my 2nd Garmin. Still a bit disappointing for the price after recently testing a FitBit Versa 4. The screen display (resolution/refresh rate/touch) is very bad for it's time. Very laggy at times with the most basic face on, the watch only has only OEM apps installed. What's really disappointing is that it has no speaker, mic, or step counter. For the steep price tag and being released September 2022 even for a fitness tracker this is pretty disappointing. Also not much covers, screen protectors to choose from. I like the Garmin brand, health apps, and tracking which it's known for but would not recommend this particular model.

    Big step up from vivioactive 3

    This watch replaced a vivioactive 3, and was a huge step up. You can take a shower without the display reacting to the water, which is a nice change. The battery life is great. The "body battery" feature is amazing. I don't know how it works, but it's very accurate. My battery will be at 20% on the watch, and it will match exactly how I feel.

    Purchased for my husband for Christmas. So far he is pleased with the battery longevity and comfort. He prefers the square shape face and finds it easier to read without glasses. This replaces the three fitbits that only last a year. Four stars is because first bike ride, the whole ride was not recorded. He DID wait for the gps to connect before taking off. Will have to see if it was user error or what. Overall first impression is that it is a great item and will outlast the Fitbit products.

    Excellent Basic Garmin Watch

    I decided to purchase a Garmin watch mostly to track my walking distance after I read that it’s compatible with an iPhone. It’s easy to connect it to the built-in GPS after selecting the activity and pushing a button. It records other health data such as stress and heart rate on the Garmin app. The display is large and clear and can be changed easily on the app. It has fantastic battery life. It doesn’t have to be charged for days! It’s lightweight and comfortable, even for sleep tracking.

    So happy I made the switch from FitBit. Was on my 3rd FitBit when it died, again. Same death every time, crazy screen then black. I reluctantly switched to Garmin, I was so used to my app I didnt want to start over. So happy I did. Love the auto activity option, cycle tracking and sleep and body battery analysis. Like it more than my old FiTBit.

    My 1st Venu SQ2

    First off I wanna start by saying I was able to get Venu with tax for $160. That made a difference between the basic tracker that I normally get, Venu has big size screen easy to use watch the Garmin app is amazing. Been using it for three years now. I love how it gives me alerts to get moving or tell me that I’m doing good at moving. Keep up the pace. It’s kind of like a nice little motivator on my wrist. Overall, I’m pleased and I will buy another one and ordering on Best Buy having it shipped to my home was simple easy and I would do it again. Garmin being the first GPS company. I felt was a better option to go with as much as I love the Apple, Garmin is still better priced for my wallet. Give it a try if you’ve never had a Garmin I love the product.

    Fantastic GPS semi-smart watch. I've been using the watch for almost a year at this point and have no major issues. The battery life is amazing. If I don't use the GPS, I get about 5 to 6 days between charges. When I use the GPS, I'll still get about 4 days with an average of 1 hour of GPS usage each day.

    I used to wear Fitbit all the time but when Google bought them out they got rid of the challenges. I now bought this watch. The battery life is better and they just feel more comfortable using it every day would recommend to anybody.

    My purchase experience was perfect. The Best Buy website described the watch perfectly and completely. I was aware of all of the features of the watch before I made my purchase decision. I purchased the watch through the Best Buy app, and the watch was delivered to me on time and in perfect condition.
