I'm old enough to find the somewhat tedious process of adding music to a Garmin via a cable to your computer a little nostalgic. This also applies to the Squeak Music edition. For example, to take the Pulse Ox test, merely hold down the second button, go to the Settings icon, click User Profile, and tap the screen to start a GPS-enabled test.

I did have to search the owner’s manual for instructions on how to do, well, nearly everything. It can also take your heart rate measurements underwater.īecause the Venu is a Garmin, it’s not nearly as intuitive to operate as an Apple Watch. Unlike an Apple Watch where I have to remember to turn on Water Lock before I save a toddler from drowning, the Venu is waterproof to a depth of 50 meters. It's reasonably accurate about tracking your sleep (as an anxiety-riddled insomniac, this was distressingly easy to verify).Īnd finally, the feature that my 5-year-old always asks me about as I launch myself into our backyard pool to rescue her: “Mommy, is your watch waterproof?” Yes. It has Garmin’s holistic Body Battery measurement that takes into account your heart rate variability (HRV), stress, activities, and sleep to gauge how ready you are for the day. It has newer safety features, like incident detection if you fall and break your leg while you’re out. You can check your VO 2 max with a GPS-tracked activity. It has many running-specific features, like GPS-enabled distance, time, and pace tracking broken down in the app, so that all you running nerds can sync your Garmin foot pods and mull over your stride length and track your elevation gain compared to your heart rate. Otherwise, the Garmin Venu Sq has the same reliable features I’ve come to love after years of testing Garmins. I took a nasal spray that night and it sprang back up, so I consider that a win for Garmin. I did notice, however, that one morning my SpO 2 dropped slightly. I verified these readings with a fingertip pulse oximeter and found no major discrepancies. During the day, a random spot reading rated me at a 96 percent blood oxygen level, which is decent. You can monitor it all night while you’re sleeping, all night and all day, or take a spot reading by swiping to the Pulse Ox widget.

Like the Series 6, you have a few options for monitoring.

It’s a feature often used by what wearable industry folks refer to as superusers, like climbers or free divers who, for some reason, enjoy sports where they stand a decent chance of becoming hypoxic and passing out.īlood oxygen monitoring is the standout feature in this year’s Series 6, and … well, the Venu has it too. Recharging was a swift and efficient 1.5 hours.įor example, blood oxygen monitoring has long been a feature on its high-end backcountry watches, like the Fenix 6 series. With multiple GPS-tracked activities per day, I got about five to seven days per charge. But when I did, the Venu Sq gave me dire warnings about how it could drastically decrease my battery life or even affect the quality of the screen. One of the settings I was very interested in turning on was the Venu’s always-on display. You can set shortcuts, scroll up or down to see your day’s stats on your chosen widgets, start activities, or change your watch’s settings. The Venu Sq's LCD touchscreen is bright and clear, with two navigation buttons on the right side. And if I’m being honest, I like Garmin’s colorways better than Apple’s or Fitbit’s-Garmin's tester came in a subtle moss green. I don’t have the urge to buy an additional tiny case to protect it. Somehow, it feels much sturdier than the Series 6. Where the Series 6’s aluminum case is sleek and cool to the touch, the Venu Sq’s case is made from fiber-reinforced polymer, and it has a no-nonsense silicone strap with a standard watch clasp. Next to the 40-mm Series 6, it’s just a little bigger, but it has other, more significant differences. But if you don’t, congratulations! You just found your next best fitness tracker. There’s still no competing with the Series 6 or even the Series 3, if you have an iPhone. This is the best of all possible worlds: Fitbit’s price point, Garmin’s granular fitness data and accuracy, and Apple’s … aesthetic? Not quite. (There's also a $249 music-enabled version, which works best if you already have a Spotify, Amazon Music, or Deezer subscription). But at $200, the Venu Sq is considerably cheaper and packs most of the same old Garmin goodies inside. We tested and liked last year’s Venu a lot.

Yes, it’s spelled that way (I call it the Venu Squeak), and yes, it looks like an Apple Watch. This year, Garmin finally released its own version-the Venu Sq.

That leaves a huge gap in the market for an affordable, effective fitness tracker that will also work on Android phones.įor a long time, Fitbit filled this hybrid tracker gap with the Versa line. But it has one major flaw: It doesn’t work if you don’t have a spendy iPhone. The Apple Watch is a great fitness tracker and smartwatch.
