Both native watch faces and watch faces compatible with Connect IQ can be used with Venu Sq. The battery life experienced in smartwatch mode may be impacted by the use of watch faces other than the default watch face.
How long does the battery last on the Garmin Venu Sq?
There will always be a concern that adding a color display would hurt Garmin’s typically strong battery performance.
You can anticipate getting up to six days in smartwatch mode, six hours in GPS mode with music streaming, and up to 14 hours while using GPS alone, according to the report. That is four hours less than Venu’s round battery life.
Although you may turn off functions like continuous heart rate monitoring and choose not to utilize the always-on display mode to stretch the battery further, there are no low-power modes or battery-saving alternatives.
With notifications turned on, a few hours of music streaming, and the GPS used to track 30- to 1-hour runs while the screen wasn’t in always-on mode, we found that the battery life typically lasted five days.
Depending on what you use every day, the always-on display mode lasts more than three days, possibly four. Although it’s still an excellent performance, this does indicate that you’ll be charging it more frequently.
With the exception of its fitness trackers and high-end and specialty watches, most of Garmin’s watches that have been introduced in the previous several years use the same type of charging cord.
