Very professional, to the point, flowing, and does not dwell on the technical specifications, but on the use and accuracy, which is exactly what I am looking for in the review ,thank you.
Nagyon jó kis összefoglaló volt, segített eloszlatni néhány kételyemet, illetve megválaszolt néhány kérdést is, szóval nagyon köszi! Egy ideje már szemezgetek a Garmin órákkal, jelenleg a Venu SQ és a Vivoactive 4s között vacillálok...igazából olyan órát szeretnék, ami főleg sportóra, de mégis rendelkezik okosóra funkciókkal is (értesítések kijelzése, hívóazonosító megjelenítése, zenehallgatás), van benne saját GPS és nem a telefonét használja, valamint pluszpont ha még fizetni is lehet vele. Ezután az összefoglaló után nagyon úgy érzem hogy a Venu SQ Music verziója lenne a megoldás. Neked van esetleg tapasztalatod a Vivoactive 4s-el? Mennyire különbözhet a kettő? Annyi review és összehasonlító videón vagyok már túl hogy lassan szétesik a fejem az információtömegtől 😅
@@AndysTechTone Mindenesetre köszi a választ :) Azért a leírt feltételeknek szerinted is megfelelhet az SQ? Illetve mondjuk saját sportot hozzá lehet adni ha az nem szerepel éppen a listában?
Excellent review, I've had my venus Sq for about 3 weeks but didn't realise is did all the stuff you mentioned. But one thing, you can use curve card on the watch which allows you to load most bank cards via the curve app and change the card when necessary so that's one way of getting around the card issue.
Thanks Tyrone. I believe I could use Revolut for Garmin Pay too but still it would be great in general if my bank supported it. They only launched Google and Apple Pay support recently so there is little hope...
Good review, thanks. I have that watch and I like it. One bug though: the navigate to saved location and back to start do not work on mine. It just shows an arrow that always points to the top of the screen. Garmin says it is a known bug they are working to address in a SW update.
hi, thank you for the expansive review. 2 questions: 1 - can you sync your exercise sessions with Strava? 2 - can you modify your music DURING a workout? change tracks or volume? Thank you
Great video! I currently have the first fit bit versa. My versa poorly calculates my distance on the treadmill. For example, I run a 5K and it tracks it only at 4K or less! How accurate was the distance when you ran on the treadmill using this watch?
You have to connect your spotify account first so you can download some offline content to the watch and then you will not need to use a phone to listen to music on the watch
Can u mention other watches they play mp3? Thx. For my activites its the most beloved feature. Actually i dont know why is so few watches on the market with this music option. Thx again.
Does the Venu Sq Music require you to have your phone (data, LTE or wifi )near by when you send an emergency alert or can the watch send text without phone/data/LTE/wifi? Furthermore, the gps tracking and sports features are all available on the watch just syncing it is required to be near the phone correct? This is going to become my first smartwatch so I am unsure how it all works.
You can download songs from your Spotify and use the Music offline, no phone needed. GPS is built in, no phone needed again, only for syncing. The only feature that will need data or cellular connection is the emergency alert
I like setting up Run 10 minutes, Walk 1 Minute and enjoy having a countdown of how many more minutes I have to run until the next walk break. Is it possible to set this up in the Venu Sq? I am having trouble finding this information. I know with the Forerunner 45 I need to set it up a long way by setting up workout intervals instead of the built in Run/Walk feature. Many thanks!
I mostly use my watch for exercise tracking and the Garmin gives you more flexibility and more options. The Fitbit might be a better smartwatch but not as good as a fitness tracker in my opinion.
i heard in another review that you could not use any of the music controls on the watch without ending whatever exercise tracker you were currently using. did this happen to you or did you find a way around it? this might determine if i get the music one or not... thanks for your help and awesome review!
Hi, how many data fields can you set in swimming profile? And can you change pages with wet hands. And finally, can you track drills in swimming profile?
You can use the touchscreen with wet hands as it doesn't lock like it does on the Fitbit Versa for example. You can track intervals/rest on the watch but no drills per se. I don't remember exactly how many data screens you can have for swimming specificly but I believe it tops out at three for most activities.
@@TheGregOry_ I don't know what happens in the watch for sure, I'd rather say it downloads a low bit rate version of the songs to save storage space but that's just what I think. I could be wrong, but there is not much information out there regarding to this. Or if there is I couldn't find it yet...
Does the GPS automatically kick in when u start your running,cycling work out ... i done a cycle and it didn't track distance am I missing something in settings
Hi. I just bought this watch and went for a run, but I realised it didn't register in the connect app under running. Do I have to manually start the run exercise? Have you tried the auto start feature for exercises? And does it have a big impact on battery?
With MoveIQ enabled the watch is supposed to track running automatically. Not sure how it effects the battery life but honestly, I’d rather start my activities manually all the time
Hey I'm from ireland, I have watched both venu videos and I am planning on getting the venu for Christmas! Would you recommend it compared to the Samsung Galaxy watches or other smartwatches?
I'd rather buy a fitness watch from Garmin if my focus was exercise and performance tracking which the Venu SQ does brillaintly. If I was interested in more lifestyle and smart features than I'd think about buying a galaxy watch or fitbit or something. Other than that it comes down to what features you need. The Fitbit Versa 3 lasts 2-3 days longer with one charge than the Venu SQ for example. But I prefer the feature set and basically everything else in the Venu SQ. If you don't need music playback you can get it for less money, so there is that too. And there is the form factor. Square or circular? Touchscreen or no touchscreen? Sorry buddy, I'd need some caffeine to answer your question properly... 😁
@@AndysTechTone Just bought the Venu in a black friday sale 230 euro! Unfortunately I must wait until Christmas to use it! If possible can you do a Tips and Tricks Vid? Your videos are very clear and informative :D
@@jamesfoley3541 Good move James! 😎 I'm not the tips and tricks kind of guy but I'm sure there are plenty other videos you can learn from. But I'll be here should you have any questions
No you don't have to have your phone with you all the time, the watch works on its own just fine. Of course you'll loose some smart features without internet connection
You can, of course, as long as you live in one of the countries in which Amazon Music actually is supported. USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Japan, India according to Garmin's website
Terrific video. Great information and excellent editing. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.
Thanks Matthew 👍 Subscribers will come eventually...or at least I hope they will 😁

Thanks Ben, but I don't use Outlook unfortunately. Hope someone else can answer you that question
This dude has 12k subs.
Unbelievably well shot for that amount
Thanks Peter, glad you like it 👍
Superb Editing!!
Thanks Zoe 😎
Any watch can be for a hard core runner if the watch is accurate and has a good enough battery life. Which it sounds like this watch is both.
Super high quality video, liked and subbed 👍
Thanks Jason 👍
Does the watch has a pacer or Running Coach which will tell you if you are running a certain pace per kilometer?
Great review bro.thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant info 👌 👏

I've never got around to test the navigation feature but thanks for the info 👍
Garmin has released software version 2.4 which fixes the navigate function. The compass arrow now rotates to point to the destination. Yay!
The video content is so excellent, congratulations
Glad you like it, thanks for watching 👍
Is this compatible with the open water swimm??
Very good and precise details 👍
Thanks 😎
hi, thank you for the expansive review. 2 questions: 1 - can you sync your exercise sessions with Strava? 2 - can you modify your music DURING a workout? change tracks or volume? Thank you
You can control your music playback during a workout. Strava syncs with the Garmin Connect app so that works too
Awesome review!
Thanks Roman 👍
Solid review - thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Steve 👍
@@AndysTechTone ended up picking up the Venu during Prime on Amazon today. Pretty slick. hard to beat the price.

No watch is accurate enough on the treadmill unless you can connect it to the treadmill itself somehow
hi i have a question: do you have use a smartphone to connect to spotify?
You have to connect your spotify account first so you can download some offline content to the watch and then you will not need to use a phone to listen to music on the watch

Hi! Great stuff and good job! Is it compatible with apple airpods? Thx
The Airpods support SBC so they should work just fine
Contemplating buying Fitbit Versa 2 or Venu Sq or Sq Music. Which would you get?
I'd pick the Garmin
I mostly use my watch for exercise tracking and the Garmin gives you more flexibility and more options. The Fitbit might be a better smartwatch but not as good as a fitness tracker in my opinion.

How would you compare this to the Forerunner 55? They're similar in price

nice video
isn't the sound quality of music depending on the headphones you use instead of the watch itself?
Course it does but if you feed any earbuds with low bit rate, heavily compressed files they will sound bad regardless of what buds you use
@@AndysTechTone ahh okay, so the watch automatically compresses my files?
@@TheGregOry_ I don't know what happens in the watch for sure, I'd rather say it downloads a low bit rate version of the songs to save storage space but that's just what I think.

@@AndysTechTone okay thanks for the answers :)
@@TheGregOry_ no worries Senpai Gregory 😎
I used for one day and 3 hours gym session with music and the battery died before I go to sleep at 11pm?
How is the GPS tracking?
GPS tracking is accurate
can i sink my earbuds to this watch. and do i need my phone to play music or can i leave my phone at home an dplay music from this?
For cycling, dose it show u speed as u cycle and average speed. Wish there was a video for cycling
Sure, as far as I can remember it does show you speed, avg speed, distance, heart rate, time, lap time, cadence(with sensor) and all that
Does the pool swim have gps function? So I could use it for ocean swim? Thank you
Pool swim only tracks pool length there is no GPS
good reviews 👍
Thanks HATTA 😎
Is it compatible with NRC
Such a cool video, thanks a lot! Is it also possible to switch off Bluetooth and wifi?
Yeah, you can turn those off
@@AndysTechTone thank you so much for your quick reply!
Anyone know can I sync with my Google calendar??
Does the GPS automatically kick in when u start your running,cycling work out ... i done a cycle and it didn't track distance am I missing something in settings
I believe it won't start tracking cycling automatically but walking and running only. Not 100% sure though...
Do you need headphones to hear the music?

You can download Spotify from the Connect IQ store. You can respond to messages but cannot answer phone calls on the watch
@@AndysTechTone thanks a lot
Can you link it to strava

Just curious can users answer calls directly from this watch?
You can answer phone calls on the watch but you'll have to use the phone for talking
Can you share your heart rate data in swimming pool.

Not sure what you mean, but sharing or broadcasting any data would require BT connection which does not work in the water.
Can you reply on the watch with an IOS phone
I believe it only works with Android
Is it compatible with any bluetooth headphones?
It is supposed to work with any bluetooth buds
