Save $30: The Garmin Venu Sq GPS fitness smartwatch is down to just $169.99 at Amazon as of Dec. 22.
It’s hard to believe it, but 2020 is almost over. Before you celebrate that with more gingerbread, consider that it might be time to think about your fitness resolutions. And a brand new fitness tracker is one of the best tools to have as we continue to focus on workouts at home. For anyone on a budget, Amazon has a more affordable alternative to an Apple Watch or Fitbit.
That option would be the Garmin Venu Sq GPS smartwatch on sale for just $169.99 at Amazon. That’s $30 off the normal price and knocks it down to the best price we’ve seen on this particular model. It’s certainly a better price than a Fitbit Versa 3 at $198.95 or a Garmin vivoactive 4 at $230.06, plus you still get to enjoy plenty of advanced features.
The highlight of the Garmin Venu Sq is its ultra-bright color display that makes it easy to check the time and your health metrics at a glance. Even with the bright touchscreen display, the Venu Sq promises up to six days of use on a full battery charge, or up to 14 hours in GPS mode. It also fits wrists with a circumference of 125-190 mm, which should be comfortable for most people.
From your daily life to intense workouts, the Venu Sq covers any form of activity. Pick from any of the 20 preloaded sports apps to track your heart rate and other fitness stats while you run, walk, bike, or even golf. It even features a Pulse Ox sensor to estimate blood oxygen saturation day and night to show how well your body absorbs oxygen. Besides apps to coach you along through guided workouts, it tracks other everyday health stats such as stress, hydration, respiration, and even mindful breathing exercises.
If you’re ready to take on 2021 with new fitness goals in mind, the Garmin Venu Sq smartwatch is a smart place to start.
