Review on ๐ŸŽต Garmin Venu Sq Music, GPS Smartwatch with Bright Touchscreen Display, Music Features and Extended 6-Day Battery Life, in Black by Toyofuku Hideo แ Œ

Only disadvantages and no pluses, do not buy.

One of the worst purchases in my life. Compared to the cheapest electronic - and not even smart - watches, this model has only one plus: payment via NFC. The price-to-performance ratio is completely meaningless. Perhaps, the attitude to the manufacturer is based on such moments. Despite the fact that many colleagues wear Garmin of different models, this brand now causes a fair amount of skepticism in me.

Pros
  • You can pay by card, since there is no NFC in the phone. Design is good.
Cons
  • Small square screen. On which branded square dials are clearly visible, poorly branded round ones, and all the rest are disgusting, regardless of shape. Instantly loses connection with the phone when the Garmin Connect app is closed on the phone. Because of this, there is neither constant synchronization of heart rate indicators and other telemetry, nor notifications from communicator applications. The pulse oximeter works only in manual mode; it cannot automatically take readings. At the same time, the pulse oximeter lies that the readings were taken 24 hours ago. Either the programmers were too lazy, and they mean "more than 24 hours ago". In the "My Day" telemetry table, the pulse oximeter graph was hidden at first, but appeared when measurements were taken. After the next ate, it is no longer shown at all. The difference in the readings of a pulse oximeter in hours and in a professional pulse oximeter can be up to 10% in any direction. Bust even for household appliances. The application "My car" (locator where I left the car) does not work. In the sense that after 15 minutes of waiting, I turned it off, but it never found a GPS signal. All applications that could be made paid were made paid. Including Spotify. The strap is soft, but short on my paw. The lock protrudes so much above the strap that it is extremely unpleasant to work with a computer in them. I wear a watch on my right hand, and putting my hand to rest on the table from the mouse means bruising my wrist.

With its pros. Lightweight, comfortable, long battery life. Got cons: The sensor slows down a little sometimes, the second button does not always work. Expensive.
