Garmin has launched the Venu Sq 2 and Venu Sq 2-Music Edition in India today, following the announcement last month. They are the most affordable GPS smartwatches with all-day health monitoring, exercise tracking, and connected functions. Garmin’s Venu Sq 2 series has a sleek rectangular watch face, 17% more screen space than its predecessor, a bright easy-to-read AMOLED display, and a touchscreen for rapid access to health information, 25+ built-in sports applications, smart notifications, and more.
The Venu Sq 2 and Venu Sq 2-Music Edition
monitor health metrics 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provide a
complete sleep quality analysis, stress, body battery, and activity levels with
a new generation sensor. The battery life is 83% longer than its predecessor
and can last up to 11 days in smartwatch mode. The Venu SQ 2 – Music Edition
has 500 tracks on-device for phone-free listening.
The Venu Sq 2 and Venu Sq 2-Music Edition
also track body energy monitoring, women’s health tracking, and wrist-based
heart rate. It also has a Health Snapshot, which gives a 2-minute session to
record key metrics on the Garmin Connect App. The Venu Sq 2 series has 25+
preset GPS and indoor sports apps for walking, jogging, cycling, tennis, and
more, making it easy to change up a workout.
It has preloaded aerobic, strength, yoga,
HIIT, and Pilates workouts. The Venu SQ2 is a popular HIIT watch that tracks
vital data and lets users select rounds, work/rest intervals, and more. Users
can download dozens of pre-made routines or create their own using over 1,600
exercises with the Garmin Connect app. When coupled with an iOS or Android
smartphone, you’ll receive text messages, social media updates, emails, and
more from the wrist. Users can send their current location to emergency
contacts or set up an automatic message to be sent if something goes wrong.
The Venu SQ 2 – Music Edition can store
500 tracks, including Amazon Music and Spotify playlists, on the watch
(subscription required). Users can also download apps, watch faces, and other
