Garmins Venu Sq is another Apple Watch lookalike – Engadget

Youll be pleased to find detailed fitness-tracking functions that Garmins fans enjoy if you do not mind the shape. These include sleep and continuous heart rate tracking, a blood oxygen saturation sensor, irregular heart rate signals, stress tracking and more. The Music Edition ($250) will likewise provide onboard storage for your tunes, so you can go on a run without your phone and still enjoy music in your earbuds.
Compared to the Venu, the Sq doesnt have a barometer or gyro sensing units, so elevation is determined with its GPS sensing unit. Youll also miss the exercise animations and live watch deals with that the original Venu supports.
Still, for $200, the Venu Sq provides lots of features that youll discover on costlier competitors like the Fitbit Sense, Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch. Garmin is not the very best at smartwatch functions like alerts or apps (nor at prompt reactions when data breaches take place), but those who want a great physical fitness tracker and dont require advanced smartwatch tools may find the Venu Sq compelling.
