Now until December 2nd, Verge readers can buy the terrific smartwatch for an all-time low of $129.99 ($120 off) at Wellbots with promo code VERGEGARMIN20. It’s also available for $149.99 ($100 off) from several other retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Garmin. \n\nNot only is Garmin’s Venu Sq 2 currently cheaper than rivals such as Fitbit’s aging Versa 4 and Fitbit’s Sense 2 smartwatches, in many ways it’s even better. The Venu Sq 2 boasts a beautiful and bright OLED display that’s easy-to-read and battery life that lasts around 11 days. The wearable also offers many health features you won’t be able to find in the Versa 4 or the Fitbit Sense 2, including hydration tracking and Garmin’s recovery feature, Body Battery. You even get access to Garmin Coach, a free program for beginner and intermediate-level runners that provides marathon training plans. Unlike Fitbit, Garmin doesn’t charge extra for these features, making the watch an even better value for your money. \n\nAlong with a terrific set of health and fitness features, the Venu Sq 2 is just a plain good smartwatch. It’s got built-in GPS, contactless payments via Garmin Pay, and emergency safety features, and it even lets Android device owners send quick replies to texts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with cellular connectivity so you can’t use it to replace your smartphone. If you don’t mind that, the Venu Sq 2 is otherwise a fantastic fitness tracker, especially at this price.\n\nRead our Garmin Venu Sq 2 review.\n\n[Product: Garmin Venu Sq 2 | https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1264455&u=1225169&m=83747&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellbots.com%2Fproducts%2Fgarmin-venu-sq2-serie-gps-smartwatch, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5VVNJBF/?tag=theverge02-20, https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-8836598-15205098?sid=vergedeals112024&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.garmin.com%2Fen-US%2Fp%2F801643]\n\nUpdate, November 20th: We updated this post with an exclusive Wellbots deal for readers of The Verge, which brings the price of Garmin’s Venu Sq 2 down to $129.99 for a limited time.\n"}</script><script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"Product","name":"Garmin Venu Sq 2","image":"https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24259072/226428_Garmin_Venu_Sq_2_AKrales_0152.jpg","description":"The Garmin Venu Sq 2 is a great replacement for a Fitbit smartwatch.

If you don’t mind that, the Venu Sq 2 is otherwise a fantastic fitness tracker, especially at this price.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><h5

Now until December 2nd, Verge readers can buy the terrific smartwatch for an all-time low of $129.99 ($120 off) at Wellbots with promo code VERGEGARMIN20. It’s also available for $149.99 ($100 off) from several other retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Garmin. \n\nNot only is Garmin’s Venu Sq 2 currently cheaper than rivals such as Fitbit’s aging Versa 4 and Fitbit’s Sense 2 smartwatches, in many ways it’s even better. The Venu Sq 2 boasts a beautiful and bright OLED display that’s easy-to-read and battery life that lasts around 11 days. The wearable also offers many health features you won’t be able to find in the Versa 4 or the Fitbit Sense 2, including hydration tracking and Garmin’s recovery feature, Body Battery. You even get access to Garmin Coach, a free program for beginner and intermediate-level runners that provides marathon training plans. Unlike Fitbit, Garmin doesn’t charge extra for these features, making the watch an even better value for your money. \n\nAlong with a terrific set of health and fitness features, the Venu Sq 2 is just a plain good smartwatch. It’s got built-in GPS, contactless payments via Garmin Pay, and emergency safety features, and it even lets Android device owners send quick replies to texts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with cellular connectivity so you can’t use it to replace your smartphone. If you don’t mind that, the Venu Sq 2 is otherwise a fantastic fitness tracker, especially at this price.\n\nRead our Garmin Venu Sq 2 review.\n\n[Product: Garmin Venu Sq 2 | https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1264455\u0026u=1225169\u0026m=83747\u0026urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellbots.com%2Fproducts%2Fgarmin-venu-sq2-serie-gps-smartwatch, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5VVNJBF/?tag=theverge02-20, https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-8836598-15205098?sid=vergedeals112024\u0026url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.garmin.com%2Fen-US%2Fp%2F801643]\n\nUpdate, November 20th: We updated this post with an exclusive Wellbots deal for readers of The Verge, which brings the price of Garmin’s Venu Sq 2 down to $129.99 for a limited time.\n","stream":null,"visibleNetworkIds":[],"scheduledForExpirationAt":null}}}]},"uid":"Entry:94b6f116-c4ba-4a43-b383-f60812d253af","mostPopular":[{"author":{"fullName":"Mia Sato"},"publishDate":"2024-11-26T14:32:50","title":"Bad influence","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/24303161/amazon-influencers-lawsuit-copyright-clean-aesthetic-girl-sydney-nicole-gifford-alyssa-sheil","uid":"0"},{"author":{"fullName":"Umar Shakir"},"publishDate":"2024-11-26T17:42:18","title":"Elon Musk learns how EV charging works from Pete Buttigieg","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/24306385/elon-musk-pete-buttigieg-nevi-funding-ev-chargers-explainer","uid":"1"},{"author":{"fullName":"Quentyn Kennemer"},"publishDate":"2024-11-26T18:44:42","title":"Hulu’s best Black Friday deal is back with $.99 a month for an entire year","url":"https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/24306632/hulu-disney-plus-ads-bundle-black-friday-deal-sale","uid":"2"},{"author":{"fullName":"Sheena Vasani"},"publishDate":"2024-11-27T00:03:09","title":"Max, Hulu, and Paramount Plus are all heavily discounted for Black Friday","url":"https://www.theverge.com/24306534/black-friday-2024-streaming-best-deals-max-hulu-peacock-paramount-plus-cyber-monday","uid":"3"},{"author":{"fullName":"David Nield"},"publishDate":"2024-11-26T14:00:00","title":"How to use Google Gemini on your phone","url":"https://www.theverge.com/24305656/gemini-google-assistant-android-how-to","uid":"4"}],"navProps":{"campaignGroup":null,"stickyNav":true,"logoColor":"franklin","lightText":false},"_sentryTraceData":"34c72ba642f14a8685adf287718dff86-962d76e25fcbca7c-0","_sentryBaggage":"sentry-environment=production,sentry-release=eRiIIZjNhI1r-REYnWsjp,sentry-public_key=6547365f9d98454ba8daa58e42013d33,sentry-trace_id=34c72ba642f14a8685adf287718dff86"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/entry/standard/[uid]","query":{"uid":"Entry:94b6f116-c4ba-4a43-b383-f60812d253af"},"buildId":"eRiIIZjNhI1r-REYnWsjp","isFallback":false,"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[{"src":"https://theverge.coral.coralproject.net/assets/js/count.js?v=0","strategy":"lazyOnload","className":"coral-script","defer":true}]}</script></body></html>
