The Venu Sq 2 is primarily an incremental update. The OLED screen is slightly larger, measuring 1.4 inches.
Additionally, the Health Snapshot tool is now available, allowing users to track a two-minute session that simultaneously logs parameters like heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, respiration, and stress.
The battery life has increased from six to eleven days, which is a good improvement over the previous versions. Similar to the original Venu Sq, it will also be offered in a musical version with 500 song storage capacity. The Music version is still $50 more expensive at $299.99.
The complete Venu Sq 2 lineup costs $50 more than the original, presumably due to inflation.
Is Garmin Venu Sq heart rate accurate?
In general, the Venu Sq provided data that was more accurate than the Fitbit Sense. My first stroll was detected by all three sensors at about 15 minutes. At 19:30, when the other two devices had only slowed to 110 bpm, the Tickr X indicated a low of 85 bpm.
