Garmin Venu VS. Garmin Venu SQ

My thoughts on the Garmin Venu versus the Garmin Venu SQ! An initial review and comparison of both the Garmin Smartwatches!

[cindil.]

Honestly I think the Venu SQ is a direct competition and budget friendly option to the FitBit Versa line and having had both I think the Venu SQ hands down is the better watch. You can get the Venu SQ without music for only $199. Hard to beat that price with all the Garmin features! Garmin needed a line in this price range.

I have had a Garmin forerunner 15 for years never let me down. I decided to update my watch your video was excellent I just needed to know the basics not a 30-minute discussion of its finer points. I will watch more comprehensive videos once I have used the watch for a few days. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

Great review. I just upgraded from a Fitbit to the Vivoactive 4s. Love the display of the Venu but I have small wrists and was worried it would to big of a watch. Love the Vivoactive had a small option! I have really been loving the Garmin app and I am very happy I went with a Garmin

Perhaps some testing with activities, stats and graphs as a comparison would give more depth in your review.

I love the concern for our time. All these super busy people on here on youtube who need to get going... to watch the cat videos.

Looks and design wise, is the venu like a chunky big watch like most watches or is it fairly small

Great video! Thank you for all this great information! I am considering getting the SQ for my wife but I really wish it had rhe ambled display. For me thats rhe real dealbreaker. She doesn't like the round watches too much. Im a huge garmin fan so I was really hoping to find one that she likes!

Note- You can definitely get better battery on them both by making slight changes in your settings. My vivoactive 4 will range from 2 to 9 days depending on how I have it set. With pulse ox on, Back light turned up, gestures on Bluetooth connected at all times, its like a day and a half maybe lol. But I only connect my watxh to my ohoen when I need to, and keep everything off unless I need rhem because I value battery life over smart features.

Apesar de já ter há alguns anos no Brasil a Garmin Pay não tem muitos bancos associados, aliás só tem um o btg pactual... Entrei em contato com a Garmin e oque recomendaram foi que nós clientes entremos em contato com nossos bancos pelos canais de atendimento pedindo para que nos notem... Eu já fiz isso no Nubank e me responderam dizendo que estão considerando, qnto maid gente fizer mais rápido processo pode ocorrer... Vamos lá galera vamos fazer nossa parte.... Falem com seus bancos, especialmente Nubank

I have the venu sq no music version, and have also with leather band, it looks very good with leather band, I have also fitbit versa 2 and charge 4. The Garmin venue sq is definitely better than the fitbit versa 2 ( don’t know about the 3 and sense ), the charge 4 has gps and is very good, I think the charge is the best of Fitbit, but Garmin I can use my polar h10 band for much better heartrate.

Hey, great review! The Venu is going to be my next watch, I currently have a Fitbit. Do you find the Garmin app as user friendly as the Fitbit app? Also, do you find the Venu easy to navigate and set up?

[MelissaCuller]

Awesome video! Is the heartrate monitor accurate when working out? I have the sense and am so disappointed wish I would of seen your review on that before I purchased.

You have yet to explain my comments on your previous videos... You promoting Garmin while their app server frequently being hacked. Can you explain how safe to use their products that being synchronise to the Garmin Connect app's server?

Hi Sammy! I’m currently deciding between these two. My deciding factor is the screen size. On paper, the SQ is larger but it looks so small compared to the Venu. How has your experience been with these two screens? I want a screen that I can transition a little more comfortably since I’m coming from an AW5 and a Sense. Your input would be SUPER appreciated 👍

[udsoncarlos]

How does the screen, at the time of training, stay fixed, or do you have to keep turning your wrist?

[ekosetiawan]

Hi Sammy, do you have an issue with garmin venu sq where the name of device is not showing on strava result?

[predragvilotijevic]

Hi! I have read somewhere that the venu has some firmware problems. Did you experience anything wrong with the watch? I am looking for a watch for myswlf, and I will get a garminm but I am torn which one... venu, venu sq( 50$ less) or the vivoactive 3 (new, for 100$!). Any suggestions? regards

[goodprince]

[Drrck]

I'm considering getting the Garmin Vivoactive 4.

[jamesfoley]

Torn between the garmin venu and galaxy active 2 for Christmas what is they main differences?

[dreamingrightnow]

I was hoping you'd talk about features and maybe add some graphics instead of having us staring at the boxes.. But hey, wadda I know? "Those that can, teach; those that can't, criticize" lol. Thanks for the upload.
