Garmin Launch Venu Sq Smartwatch But You Will Pay More In OZ

Garmin who is fifth in the smartwatch market behind the likes of Samsung, Apple and Chinese brand Huawei has launched what looks like an Apple knock off designed watch and they are expecting Australians to pay a premium price.

Called the Garmin Venu Sq it’s a trimmed down version of the premium Venu smartwatch launched last year.

This new model takes a detour from the round shape used by the Venu to feature a square-shaped design reminiscent of the Apple Watch series.

The watch has 1.3”-inch display weighs 37.6 grams and has a thickness of 11.5mm.

Whereas the new Samsung watches have an OLED display the Garmin device only has an LCD screen.

Garmin has downgraded from 390 x 390 pixels to 240 x 240 pixels, it does have an aluminium frame and Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

As for battery life Garmin claims it can remain on for up to six days on a single charge but when the GPS mode is turned on, the battery only lasts 14 hours.

Apart from GPS, the watch also comes with all-day health monitoring capabilities which do suck battery life. It also measures sleep, menstrual cycle, and stress tracking.

There is also a Pulse Ox sensor which keeps an eye on your blood oxygen saturation levels.
