Garmin’s Venu fitness watch is a great choice for runners, cyclists, and swimmers because it has modes specifically designed for those activities. However, we found that the GPS signal reception was a bit slow. After its release, the Venu became a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts. ..
Garmin is releasing a less expensive model of the watch called the Garmin Venu Sq. This suggests that many other people believed the watch to be excessively expensive. Launching the Garmin Venu Sq was essential for Garmin as they have dabbled in the low-cost running watch industry but ignored the more diverse group of outdoor enthusiasts. The Venu and Vivoactive 4/4S might be useful in this situation but they are too pricey. All of those devices key features are offered by the Venu Sq at a significantly lower starting price. ..
The Garmin Venu Sq is a great choice for runners who want an accurate and reliable running watch. The square LCD display is adequate, and it’s not as vibrant or contrasty as the OLED panel on the Garmin Venu, but that’s okay if you’re not contrasting the two side by side. In direct sunlight, it becomes bright enough to see.
The Garmin Venu Sq heart rate sensor is the same as the original Venu. As a result, both accuracy and performance are roughly equal. Let’s compare the heart rate data from the Venu Sq to that of the Fitbit Sense and Wahoo Tickr X chest straps.
This 5.5-mile interval run took place at my neighbourhood park. In general, the Venu Sq provided data that was more accurate than the Fitbit Sense. My first stroll was detected by all three sensors at about 15 minutes. At 19:30, when the other two devices had only slowed to 110 bpm, the Tickr X indicated a low of 85 bpm.
