Offline Spotify, accurate heart rate and GPS, and 3x battery life of Apple Watch

~5 days of battery depending on use
TESTING:
Sleep
HR
GPS
Battery life
Emergency SOS

Notifications
Garmin Pay
Preloaded workouts, planned exercises, coach mode, etc.
Body battery
Menstrual cycle tracking
Pulse ox

APP TOUR:
Garmin Connect & Garmin IQ
COMPARED TO VENU
Slightly less battery life
No animations/live watch faces
No barometer/altimeter
PROS:
Offline Spotify!!!!
Garmin analytics
Clean aesthetic
Simple, and it just works. Nothing fancy but I have lots of people ask me what watch is best if they just want notifications, sleep tracking, HR, workouts, GPS, and music while running. That is exactly what this does
CONS:
Spotify downloads are extremely slow and drain the battery
Interface is clunky sometimes, but simple if you are not doing much
App selection is poor
Interface is not necessarily intuitive. Garmin could drastically improve with a redesign
No qi wireless charging
Requires multiple apps on your phone
Best for people who:
Want a watch that just works
Exercise frequently and want in-depth analytics or want to integrate with other trackers
Want to be coached to exercise more
Want to workout without their phone (listen to music, buy a Gatorade, and track everything with GPS and HR)
Not for people who:
Want lots of apps, LTE, take phone calls, voice assistant, etc.

I just received this watch and the Instinct yesterday. I love how the Instinct just works but it is so darn big...compared to the Venu SQ. I really like the interface, the LCD screen is quite nice and the removal of buttons on the left side is great too. I tend to forget I am wearing the SQ. The smart notifications are more useable with the screen resolution also. I will update on bright sun viz tomorrow.

After watching a bunch of reviews on different fitness tracker/smart watches, this video finally helped me seal the deal. Just ordered the Venu Sq music. I don't listen to music during walks/runs as I run on fairly busy roads and want to aware of my surrounding, but I do like to listen to podcasts on Spotify when I am out on my run, so this is perfect!

Hi Mike. I just bought the SQ and agree largely with you assessment. My only question is with the vibration for notifications. It's extremely week to the point where it almost unnoticeable. And that's what the vibration set at is strong setting. Can you confirm if that was your experience as well or should I be contacting a warranty claim?

Can you put your own MP3's on this watch? Or do you have to use Spotify/Deezer with premium subscriptions to do that? Just got the Versa 3 and very disappointed that they've removed the ability to create your own playlists with your own MP3's and load them to the watch like you could on the Versa 2. So now, I'm looking for other options.

The vast amount Apple Watch people I know, use the features very little. They also don’t use much of fitness apps either. Seems like notifications, the odd fitness thing, calendar, maybe weather, then the rest of the advanced features are ‘Hey look what my watch can do’. But they don’t use, but feel superior that they could I guess. They are also always petrified about battery use. Some snowflakes like the payment options, but I have never had the urge. I ask them all the time how often they use them. It’s always the few main ones & then to impress people, then life gets back to normal.

Man I rly wish this came out earlier in the year, accurate and simple. After a very disappointing experience with Fitbit versa 2 (especially at its price 😬, not worth its inaccuracy), I ended up with a great Garmin vivoactive 4, wanted more of a smart watch with reliable features and so I splurged and got Apple Watch s5. But if the SQ came out earlier, it would’ve been so perfect. The Garmin venu was far too big on me, and the 245 looked too sporty for my everyday wear :(

Yeah some people were angry that I said this watch was a threat to the Apple Watch, but your situation is a great example. This watch is perfect for a lot of people who would otherwise have to splurge and buy the Apple Watch. Oh well. I hope you like your Apple Watch 5! The 5 is a fantastic watch
