Great little watch. Picked it up from JB hi-fi for $196 AUD. Love it.

Very good. the 10 secrets is definitely a deep dive.

Hi. Great video.👌 I just purchased Venu Sq. But I am getting only around 2 days of battery..:((( but it was mentioned that I would get 5-6 days of battery.

[@priyaaind9265]

Me too

[@avineshnaidoo]

Will I be able to run a ultra marathon and have the battery last 12 hours having music off and GPS on smart mode with this watch ?

[@Kat-ef9jd]

I just got Venu sq three weeks ago and just charged for the second time now. the battery lasted 10 days from 100 to 20%

[@Carlos.288]

Using it with GPS makes battery a lot lower

[@markpelayo]

Superb review!

[@WesKnows]

Thx!

[@alisonryan9836]

My only complaint is the GPS. Sometimes it just won't find a signal at all. Somtimes it takes 10 mins. Pity

Hi, I am a cyclist, I cycling indoor and outdoor. I looking for best budget garmin watch for recovery data like sleep, hydration, recovery time data. Do you recommend Garmin Venu S q or Forerunner 55?

[@WesKnows]

Hi Hong! I enjoyed using the 45/55 but it’s not even close to the joy with venu sq. make sure to get the music sq for downloadable media storage. That way you have a stand-alone powerhouse and you won’t need your smartphone on your trips

[@hong_1712]

@@WesKnows Thanks for the recommendation! Really appreciate it 👍

[@jdm3111]

how many alarms can you set on this watch? ANd is it vibrating alarm or alarm with sound? THanks great review!

[@WesKnows]

Hi JDM! No speaker here. Just a vibration alarm

[@lauriosilveira9682]

During a phone call the screen will repeatedly vibrate with the message " ongoing call " anyway to stop this error ? It's really annoying

@WesKnows already done keep sharing information. Thank you again

[@EljinRIP]

Makes me think of pebble. Looks like quite a fantastic watch.

[@WesKnows]

It’s lovely 😊

[@smiletinytina]

but is there a widget on the watch that shows sleep tracking?

[@isokenneth]

HI thanks for your sharing, I want to ask about Venu SQ, is Badminton included in the sports?

[@WesKnows]

Hmm...tennis definitely is

[@mrpookie123]

It looks good, maybe I’ll buy it

[@nitikajain5090]

Heya! This review is really helpful. Just one question please, is this watch good for swimming tracking?

[@WesKnows]

It’s excellent all round including pool swimming and even open water 💪

[@thomasbarrett2365]

@@WesKnows No, this watch does not support open water swimming

[@ShinyThings]

Cool review! 🙂 No fancy straps options? Cheers! 🙂👍

[@WesKnows]

There are on the Garmin Store website as well as plenty 3rd party options on Amazon and AliExpress!

[@LeftyPencil]

It uses a 20mm band so the sky is the limit

[@tanyasile5950]

Very interesting video

[@WesKnows]

Glad you think so!

[@sharmaineachannel4500]

I just got mine yesterday but i notice that the brightness level stays the same, is it same as yours?

[@WesKnows]

There are 3 brightness levels ☀️

[@brucelin5842]

Does this watch feels n looks cheap since it’s plastic? Which do u think it’s better between this n galaxy watch s3?

[@WesKnows]

Hi Bruce! I am a fan of Garmin tech and revolutionary research.. since all Garmin wearables are deeply integrated into the Garmin Ecosystem it’s not just the lloks you’re buying but a Garmin experience.. and no, I don’t think the Venu SQ looks cheap.. it looks functional 🧐 considering it’s multi sport potential, battery life and clinical accuracy- in my mind it’s not a like 4 like with the Samsung Galaxy Watch. The latter is an advanced smartwatch with a different purpose and featurelist. If you are after a serious sports watch for a budget price, the Venu SQ is your best bet💪

[@brucelin5842]

@@WesKnows so should I get another garmin watch now? I already bought the watch3 but like u said it’s not really designed for workout activities since the Samsung health app is too vague....

[@ThirdEyeAwake]

Are there extra fees for any of the apps?

[@WesKnows]

Nope, not a Fitbit 😂😂😂

[@EljinRIP]

How continuous is the HR readings? For example, does it take measurements every 5 sec, 1min, 5min, etc?

[@WesKnows]

Garmin varies it’s HR sampling rate based on intensity. Meaning during sleep its a longer interval between readings than when working out. The exact freq is not specified in the instructions manual. But considering the budget brand Huawei and Honor do 10min when sleeping, once per second when doing a workout.. Garmin most likely does that as well.. considering IT IS the trend setter😉

[@EljinRIP]

@@WesKnows perhaps, but I know fitbit does every 5sec during normal activity tracking use and every 1sec during exercise tracking, so perhaps they'd be closer to fitbit than huawei? I may look into it to see if I can find out.

[@sherifsabet]

@@EljinRIP garmin has two modes: smart where it changes the interval based on activity. Or forced 1s intervals

[@mohdnasirabdghani5911]

great...just bought it.

[@WesKnows]

Awesome multi sport watch💪

[@richriley8031]

Does the SQ have fall detection?

[@WesKnows]

Yes, when connected via bt to phone

[@Pelu6cuerdas]

Hey, do you think is worth it compared to the gtr2 or gts 2 mini? It cost double of the price of the gtr2 in my country

[@terridolecki8185]

I was wondering the same thing. I have a gts 2 mini.

[@user-hj3bk5eq7e]

[@sepidehra1148]

it was useful. But I have a question. the capacity of the music and non-music version is different?

[@WesKnows]

No music uploads to non-music SQ👆 plz subscribe for more reviews and comparisons 💪

[@sepidehra1148]

I know but I meant the internal capacity is different with music and non-music version? HDD for both is equal?

[@jiff1982]

@@sepidehra1148 you can't store personal music to the non music variety has limited space while the music version you can store music or download spotify directly storage wise I think its 4g while the non has non extra storage

No

The only downside to it , is the Band is too short... Needs more length

[@Linguaholic23]

You took the wrong size... M/S and L is available. L is probably more for you

[@roybrolsbeak]

so annoying that the display is always raised above the bezel. it makes it so prone to scratching. in the line of work that i do i cant take that risk. shame

[@WesKnows]

🥺

[@daysirc]

I have this watch and I am quite clumsy so I have hit the display a few times and no scratch so far. Maybe is just my luck or the screen is very good

It's Corning Gorilla Glass 3; a truly rugged display.

? Venu sq locks

👍 yes

[@patricksnyder3446]

STAY AWAY. The Venu SQ has been nothing but a pairing nightmare for us! We pair works for a while then needs to be paired again which turns into a marathon day of frustration getting it to pair! hate it hate it hate it!! never again!
