The Venu Sq gives you all the information you’d come to expect from a smartwatch such as heart rate and step counts, but also proprietary features like Body Battery, a score that monitors your energy levels throughout the day to help you optimize when to rest and when to get active. From there, I was able to input my personal health information, select my preferences, and add a credit card for contactless payments (a great feature in an era when I’m trying to touch as few surfaces as possible).

Garmin’s two new models-the Venu Sq and Venu Sq Music Edition-retail for $199 and $249 respectively, making them much more affordable options than the brand’s year-old Venu and newer models from competitors like Apple. The first thing that caught my eye about this smartwatch was its price tag.

After a full week of testing, Garmin’s latest model may finally convince me to leave behind my bare-wristed ways and become a smartwatch convert at long last. Sure, I’ve been curious about the supposed benefits afforded by wearables, but I always end up with a Goldilocks-ian dilemma: The smartwatches I can afford are clunky and lighter on features, while the sleeker, souped-up models I covet fall far outside my budget.Įnter the Garmin Venu Sq Music Edition smartwatch.
