Non functional activity tracking or heart rate accuracy. Get an Pixel or Apple watch instead.

I bought this watch for two reasons: the ability to track heart rate, and because it was advertised as having a skiing activity profile. However, the heart rate isn't remotely accurate. When my chest strap is recording 180 bpm, the watch records 60-80.
The activity tracking also leaves a lot to be desired. One of the main reasons I got it was because the Garmin website said it was good for skiing. Unfortunately, you need to create a new activity for every run or else it tracks your lift ride and includes that in your speed and distance. How can a device sold in 2023, not have an auto-run function for a skiing profile? That is the most basic feature you could ask for.
The only two things this is good for is telling time and using Garmin pay. But for the price you could get an Apple, Google, or Samsung watch that would work better because they could at least run android and apple apps. I completely regret buying this because the features it was advertised to have are non functional.

The watch that I need the most in my daily life
on May 29, 2025

I am a fan of Garmin, and I use everything from the Edge 1040 for road bikes to the Fenix 6x for hiking. But I don't usually bring Fenix to work because it's too heavy. So I really need venu sq2 because it is very lightweight and the size is very suitable. I like square watches, they are very suitable for wearing. It is particularly suitable in some scenarios, such as skiing in winter, where I need to keep Fenix outside the sleeve of my ski suit so that I can check navigation and data at any time, but for heart rate, I need to send it to Fenix through Venu sq2. Because I don't like to wear heart rate bands. When riding a road bike, I also need venu sq2 to send my heart rate to edge 1040. It is very important to me, and I urgently need to see its updated version. I mainly hope to update its heart rate hardware and better battery life.

After two years, the watch started turning itself off despite the charged battery.
