"The battery life is measured in days, not hours."
"You know they make amoled screen garmins that last 7-14 days right?"
"My Venu can last more than 4 days with AOD. ... And if I have regular GPS activities, it lasts 2-3 days. ... AW can't last that much even with AOD off. ... I had a Samsung before and without AOD, it would last max 2 days (no activities). With AOD, it would last 10-12 HOURS."

"Has lasted 3 years and counting"
"I purchased it in Dec. of 2019 and it’s still a great watch ... Garmin’s last a long time and are really good quality and can take a beating."

"but you can’t edit the data fields on that. ... Activities pages were limited. ... the activities data page was limited, only 4 max data points. For backcountry skiing I like knowing distance, current elevation, total ascent, time, and heart rate. For trail running, the same plus pace."
"I have a Venu, chosen because I was quite disabled for years and didn't need a lot of fitness features and it is more feminine, but now that I'm up and running again, I'm saving for a forerunner. ... I tell you this because I would be disappointed in your current choice."
"I got the Venu and was surprised by how my brother's cheaper Forerunner 165 can do multiple things my watch can't (like estimate 10K, 21K times and suggest a daily workout)."

"I have most bells and whistles turned off on my VenuSQ, but it drains really quickly. ... I have the screen brightness at the lowest setting too. ... It’s only 3.5 years old."

"Garmin Sq, which were out by up to 15bpms"
jonnybestdog 1.0Garmin venu sq music. Does a good job for swimming and my other varied activities. Cheap ish too.
kitchen_towell 1.0I've been using Garmin Venu sq for the last 3 years. Going pretty solid still. I think I got the music edition for 22k at that time.
jfk_47 0.3Forerunner and fenix watches seem to me like a heavier, off grid watch. Longer battery life, super rugged, heavier. Vivoactive is good for all those things but it’s lighter and a good daily wear. I have the venu 3. I lift weight, cycle, and starting to get into running. I wanted a watch that did all the bio tracking but didn’t want something rugged and off grid. 7-10 days battery life. Good daily wear. Good sleep tracking. I’ve worn it for 1.5years now. Had the venue SQ prior. I disable the messaging and notifications but still get calls just in case I don’t have my phone on me. Glad you aren’t looking at Apple Watches. Garmin is the best choice for activity and daily wear.
Fair-Calligrapher-19 0.2Using tla chest strap as ground truth, the PW3 is really close to what my chest strap data set shows. Within 2/3 bpms Definitely better than my old AppleWatch and Garmin Sq, which were out by up to 15bpms
Inevitable_Ad6868 0.2Venu 2 Square. Small profile, easy to read screen. Looks almost like an iwatch. Plus reasonable price. I do miss the built in altimeter from my last one.
JosephAdago 0.2Garmin venue square eBay around $137 new Refurbished for $109 Great at counting steps Has lasted 3 years and counting
MoulinSarah 0.2I have most bells and whistles turned off on my VenuSQ, but it drains really quickly. I have the screen brightness at the lowest setting too. It’s only 3.5 years old.
I had a VenuSQ and upgraded to the Venu4
pbandG 0.2Previously using a garmin SQ, now the fit 3 and the huawei is excellent. Gps lock is fast, works well with cycling as a hr monitor. Ganda pa ng interface at battery life. Daming free watchface na maganda din.
a1n3 0.0Dito. Venu will offer a tick “sexier” display due to oled, FR will most probably go longer. Might be a case for weekend hike ;)
Accomplished_worrier 0.0My partner and i have venu watches for health and fitness monitoring, we also had a stronger use case for health. Ours don't have the ekg function, but do provide the sleep tracking, hrv/stress scores as body battery, and the spo2. On that - the battery does drain easily if you have that on 24/7, at least on our watches!
