There are lots of options for smartwatches and fitness watches out there, but if you haven’t considered the Garmin Venu Sq 2, you should. Not only because Amazon is offering a pretty good deal on it right now, but because it’s actually a very capable GPS watch that’s perfect for anyone who runs or hikes often, especially if going off the beaten path. Having tech like this is an almost essential part for those with active lifestyles because it can be a lifesaver in certain situations. It also just makes it easier to track your own routes. Normally, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 would retail for $249.99. Right now, it’s on sale for $149.99.
Among the many features that this watch has to offer, the Venu Sq 2 has long-lasting battery life. That’s something that most, if not all, Garmin watches have in common. It’s not as long as some of Garmin’s more advanced watches (which are also much more expensive), but it can still last for up to 11 days and that’s really good. That means you won’t have to charge it for almost two weeks.
In addition to long battery life, the Venu Sq 2 also supports Garmin Pay. With the Garmin Pay feature, you can link your credit and debit cards for quick and easy tap-to-pay options at checkout stands. This little convenience is most certainly worth trying out if you shop at places that support tap-to-pay. Of course, as a health and fitness watch, the Venu Sq 2 also has 24/7 heart rate monitoring, and there are 25 different sport apps for tracking your activity during those sports.
