      I would like to know what is Samsung watch 4 - 5 lacking in terms of sport apps, functions, vs Fenix series.... I have both 4 and Fenix 5 Plus.... but use them only for biking (Strava mainly). So Galaxy watch 4 is more than enough for this stuff....

    As a guy who lives in Manhattan, I can definitely say that all GPS data is off a bit. That's due to all of the tall buildings messing it up. We're used to it but folks just passing through can be put off by it, especially in their cars.

    This is a great review! I just bought the Fitbit Versa 4 and recently came accross this in a FB group I'm in. Ive decided to switch to this Venu SQ series and return my fitbit because it seems this has more bang for your buck and can do more than the Versa 4 based on this review and my research!

    Have you noticied it watch having particularly loud vibrations for alerts? I've read some reviews that say that the vibration is more of an audio alert rather than a haptic one, and for them it was a big annoyance. Would love to hear what you think. Thanks, Mike!

    Thank you for mentioning the lack of altimeter. The Strava app on my phone shows the elevation gain when the run involves enough uphills/downhills and I always feel this to be useful. I wonder if there is a way to do something similar with SQ 2 using the terrain information from the maps.

    I used it for a while to substitute my old vivoactive HR. I used them basically for swimming. However, I still feel it easy to control where I want to stop the laps with vivoactive HR than Venu SQ2, with which you can only pause but not end the laps to see the summary. I have also fitbit sense. As comparison, I feel Garmin make it better in analysis for the swimming than fitbit.

    Hi Mike, First of all thanks a lot for the detailed review. I am the new user of the smart watch and am interested to buy the Venu Sq or Venu Sq2 series. Mainly I am looking to measure or monitor my fitness like regular walking, hiking in the mountains and sport like badminton, stress and heart rate monitor. Can you please recommend the best one based on the experience?
    I have seen few things from Venu SQ2 like elevation and floor counts are not possible. I think steps count during my walking and hiking in the mountain is possible. Please correct me in case am wrong. I am looking for your inputs to buy the smart watch.

    I have the Garmin Venu and am extremely disappointed with the sleep accuracy. They told me it's due to having a high physical level with an "abnormally" low resting heart rate. I don't believe that to be true.
    Do you find the sleep tracking to be accurate? This is my biggest hesitation for buying.
    I also dislike that there isn't a boxing feature, but I did find a decent app for that.

      Hello sir!
      I have a question: why is a barometric altimeter so important to be in a smartwatch? I am asking because you are not the first person who points this out, but for me it has never been that important (I use my watch for running and when I go to the gym, probably I will start going to the swimming pool soon, but not sure...). Maybe I am just missing something, so I asked just to sort this out for myself :)

      @@DrawMeAParadox Hi, for me this sensor would add value when tracking hikes in the mountains. Additionally to the height differences extracted from the GPS data, one would have data from another sensor making it probably more accurate. For me it is very interesting to have reliable altitude data. but your right, for gym activities or running it might not be that important.
