Garmin rarely lets us down when it comes to making sequels. The Venu Sq 2 is another great phone in a line we already loved. It has a brighter screen, better sensors, and even longer battery life. If you want to start out with a Garmin GPS smartwatch, this may be the one to get, but you’ll have to pay a bit more than before.

The $249.99 Garmin Venu Sq 2 is a smartwatch for casual users that packs in a ton in a small, lightweight package. That includes long battery life, a great display, a ton of fitness and health metrics, and a good amount of smart features, too.

The Garmin Venu Sq 2 smartwatch makes some welcome upgrades on the Venu Sq, offering a good all-round experience. However, for the bump up in price you get a design that isn’t all that memorable.
